 * Oppose - Aside from technical quality (there appears to be noise or compression artefacts, particularly around the rocket), and the fact that this doesn't show the whole monument (thus harming EV), there may be a copyright issue. Russian FOP only applies to buildings, not sculptures. Does the inclusion of a museum in the base make this a building under Russian law? We don't have any cases for precedence, it appears. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:34, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose Pretty, but noisy sky & awkward angle for EV... Copyright issues aside, this would be better taken further back to show whole monument to be able to get a sense of scale... gaz hiley  07:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
