Summary
It is a photo of the monument "Defenders of the Soviet Arctic during the Great Patriotic War" in Murmansk. It is taken from the Russian Wikipedia, here and the license info is there. The photo has been released under Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 by the person who (says he) took the picture, Russian Wikipedia user V1P3R. However, in Russia, photos of public installations are not free except for noncommercial use -- so this photo can't be on Commons (and probably shouldn't be on the Russian Wikipedia, I think). And for just the photo itself:

See here for Commons's take on Russian "freedom of panorama", but remember that applies only to Commons, not the English Wikipedia. Herostratus (talk) 09:32, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Licensing
Just want to point out 1) this applies only to the PHOTO, not the SUBJECT, and 2) "I" am not the copyright holder -- the person who originally uploaded it to the Russian Wikipedia is. But there doesn't seem to be any template to say "Another person (not me) has published it under the GDFL..." Herostratus (talk) 05:14, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
