Photos are NOT currently public domain in either Russia or the US. The photo was published with a clear attribution to P. Otsup (Pyotr Otsup, [1883 – 1963]) in Журнал «Огонёк» №2 от 1940 год. Will not be public domain until 2038 (74 PMA). Frankly I'm surprised this photo was able to become a featured photo despite the clear lack of publication information previously available until I found the 1940 magazine that showed authorship status incompatible with PD status. I hope our filtering process for featured photos is now more rigorous.

Isn't this fair use in the US because it was published before 1925. Everything published before 1925 is in the public domain in the US irregardless of when the author time of death. Also nobody cared before this, why did you do this, it's used on so many pages. Vallee01 (talk) 15:26, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Vallee01: A couple of things:
  • Not just created before 1917 - must be PUBLISHED before 1917 in order for that to apply. Because this is not a US work, we have to wait until it is PD-Russia-expired. Either way, PDRusEmpire cant apply because they could not possibly have been published before it was created in 1919.--PlanespotterA320 (talk) 23:00, 24 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bitte beachten: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Ralf_Roletschek/sowjetische_Bilder - das ist zwar Deusch aber ich denke, es bringt etwas Licht in die Sache. --Ralf Roletschek 22:27, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Ralf Roletschek: can you please summarize the conclusion of the German text. It is not possible for me to understand this in relation to the nomination. Fair use is not valid on Commons, so I think without understanding of the German text, we should delete the images. Elly (talk) 21:26, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, ich spreche kein Englisch. Vielleicht kann @Gestumblindi: das kurz zusammenfassen? --Ralf Roletschek 22:07, 25 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ralf Roletschek: , was ist dann dein Fazit? behalten oder löschen? (With google translate). Elly (talk) 13:16, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ich würde wegen der unklaren Lage auf Löschen plädieren. --Ralf Roletschek 13:53, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that was also my conclusion based on Commons:Copyright_rules_by_territory/Russia. Its a pity, these images are used on many articles. Elly (talk) 17:29, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
