- It comes from the Hoover Institution; feel free to add this information on the image page. However, I could not find the publication date nor the author's name. --Tryphon (talk) 20:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
- This picture is old. Really old. I strongly doubt that the Hover foundation or anyone connected to the Hoover Institution took this picture. I'd say that this picture is public domain based on it's age! Also, as it is a picture of Joseph Stalin, I strongly doubt it was taken by anyone but a Soviet Photographer, employed by the Soviet Government, making it public domain. 67.244.223.68 18:40, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Kept. Source added. Yann (talk) 18:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
I reopen the DR: the author is Margaret Bourke-White, according to [1]. Yann (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
Delete The author died in 1971; the image will not be in the public domain for many years. The currently used license tag is invalid. Óðinn (talk) 07:10, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
- It looks like this file has to be deleted. Please then also delete the compilation File:AxisTalks Pent.png as it uses the image as well. There may be other compilations using this image. --Denniss (talk) 19:38, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

- OTRS confirmation - We have received an email from the son of Margaret Bourke-White who is the current copyright holder giving permission for the photograph to be used. Panyd (talk) 17:12, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
Kept. as per Panyd. Yann (talk) 17:43, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
The OTRS permission is nonsense. It comes from a g-mail account and says that the sender is the son of Bourke-White and that the photograph was taken by his father. It seems unlikely that Bourke-White's son does not know that his famous photographer parent was his mother, not his father.
However, the lack of knowledge displayed by her "son" is not surprising. Bourke-White did not have any children.
More to the point, according to this site, which Yann found above, the photograph was taken while on assignment for Life Magazine and therefore the family does not own the copyright. Since Time Inc. is presumably getting a royalty for its sale as a poster, it seems unlikely that we could get permission. Jim . . . . Jameslwoodward (talk to me) 23:41, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

- Derivative File:Joseph Stalin Colour.jpg also deleted. --Mormegil (talk) 16:01, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
No idea why Hungarian copyright law should be relevant for this photograph. No author listed (and the given source is wrong, [2] was probably meant instead). Mormegil (talk) 13:00, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- OK! Source: 6. page, and PD-old. Tambo (talk) 13:28, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- PD-old? Who created the photograph so that you are sure he/she died before 1942? Or, do you mean something like {{PD-anon-70}} or {{Anonymous-EU}}? And you believe the author of an official photograph is unknown? (And see also Commons:URAA-restored copyrights.) --Mormegil (talk) 08:14, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Comment Most likely was made after 1942. Shoulder marks were made as Soviet army uniform at the end of 1942-beginning of 1943. --EugeneZelenko (talk) 14:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- Note that this is not the same image as the Margaret Bourke White image deleted above.
- The source site has an explicit copyright notice (which may, of course, be copyfraud if the image is actually PD).
- The description given on the image is quoted from the source site and is clearly a copyvio, which suggests that our uploader does not understand copyright.
- Given the internal evidence that it was taken after 1942 it is still under copyright and will be until URAA runs out.
