Fair use rationale

For an article about a film, the original theatrical advertisement poster is arguably one of the most important images that could be included. Various posters and artwork have been produced over the years to publicise this film, however this is the original artwork, intended by Mosfilm for wide distribution.

It is believed the use of this image in the article Operation Y and Other Shurik's Adventures is covered by the "fair use" doctrine because:

1. This image is being used to illustrate the film which is the topic of this article.
2. Its use in Wikipedia is for nonprofit educational purposes only and does not detract from the original work.
3. It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
4. It does not limit the copyright owner's rights to market or sell the work in any way.
5. No free or public domain images have been located for this film poster.
