Summary edit

Found on Russian Wikipedia. A more complete description can be found there.

The image is of a poster used to promote the film "Scarlet Sails" (Алые Паруса). The copyright is likely held by the film's producer. I believe the use of the low-resolution image to illustrate the article Scarlet Sails (film) constitutes fair use and that no free replacement is available.

The image is also used to illustrate the article White Nights Festival. The image is closely associated with the festival as it is reproduced on fliers and other promotional material in conjunction with the festival. Therefore the use of the image in the article constitutes fair use.

Licensing edit

This image is of a film 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 film posters to provide critical commentary on the film in question or of the film 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.
