[edit] Fair use for Yuri Nikulin

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a historically significant photo of a circus clown shown during his performance.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
The source "Actors of Soviet Cinema" is of poromotional nature
Yury Nikulin is dead, thus, no free replacement is possible
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because Nikulin's artistic works are the subject of the article.
