This image features an artistic work, photographed from a public space in Russia. Except for buildings, there are no freedom of panorama exemptions in Russia, which means that artistic works like sculptures and monuments cannot be photographed freely for anything other than noncommercial purposes. However, Russian jurisprudence states that no infringement is constituted when the work is an "accessory compared to the main represented or handled subject".

If a copyrighted artistic work is contained in this image and it is a substantial reproduction, this photo cannot be licensed under a free license, and will be deleted. Framing this image to focus on the copyrighted work is also a copyright violation.
