Also, personal videocameras and recorders in the Soviet Union were rare artifacts that belonged only to those who afford them and find a way to procure them. This image was taken during the 1988 Sumgait pogroms in the city of Sumgait, Azerbaijan which shows one of the rioter's improvised weapons. Riots and ethnic infighting had nearly never occurred in the history of the country.

Rationale for fair use:

1.The screenshot is of lower resolution and quality than the original film (copies made from it will be of inferior quality). 2.Screenshot is used to illustrate and describe object in question in the article. 3.There is no free equivalent available that can be created that would adequately give the same information
