File:A dead Brezhnev.jpg

Rationale for the fair use of this image in the articles Death and state funeral of Leonid Brezhnev:

• The Russian Government has yet to release images from the Brezhnev Era into public domain (copyright expires after 50 years)
• The image is used to show readers how Brezhnev looked like in a coffin, when dead
• The image is being used in an informative way
• The image is a small, web-resolution image
• The image is used to illustrate the person in which the article centres
• The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of Brezhnev, and for no other purpose

This image is a faithful digitisation of a unique historic image, and the copyright for it is Death and funeral of Leonid Brezhnev or the agency employing the person. It is believed that the use of this image may qualify as non-free use under the Copyright law of the United States. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content for more information.

Please remember that the non-free content criteria require that non-free images on Wikipedia must not "[be] used in a manner that is likely to replace the original market role of the original copyrighted media." Use of historic images from press agencies must only be of a transformative nature, when the image itself is the subject of commentary rather than the event it depicts (which is the original market role, and is not allowed per policy).
