In most countries, all paintings, sculpture, architecture, text, and other creative works have copyrights which last for 70 years after the death of the creator. An image of a work that is still under copyright is a derivative work, and infringes on the copyright so that we cannot usually keep the image on Commons. In some countries, there is a special exception to the copyright law which allows such images under certain circumstances. We call that exception freedom of panorama (FOP). Unfortunately there is no applicable FOP exception in Belarus. The monument shown in the photo was designed by sculptors Anatol Anikeychyk (Russian:Анатолий Аникейчик; 1932-1989) and Andrey Zaspitski (Russian: Андрей Заспицкий; b. 1924) in 1971. 195.50.31.220 23:14, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
