Rationale for the fair use of this image in the articles 1965 Soviet economic reform and Alexei Kosygin:

• 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 the Soviet Government campaigned for the reform
• The image is being used in an informative way
• The image is a small, web-resolution image
• The image is used to illustrate one propaganda poster which is important for the two articles
• The image's only purpose is to aid in the description of the 1965 Soviet economic reform, and for no other purpose

This image is of a political poster, and the copyright for it is most likely owned by either the publisher or the creator of the work depicted. It is believed that the use of scaled-down, low-resolution images of political posters to provide critical commentary on the poster in question or of the political poster itself, not solely for illustration where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information, on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair 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.
