Non-free media information and use rationale true for Vitaly Vorotnikov
Description	A photo of Soviet head of state and government of the RSFSR, Vitaly Vorotnikov.
Source	Link.
Article	Vitaly Vorotnikov
Portion used	Whole.
Low resolution?	Yes.
Purpose of use	This is the publicity image, an official portrait of the Soviet prominent released by the Soviet government organization, now a non-existing entity, to represent a leader of the country to the world. The subject of the article is of old age, and is not in the media anymore - this image has been uploaded to picture Vorotnikov when he "best" known. The image is not only unrepeatable but also irreplaceable by a generic image that would merely show how the person looked like. This is an official image that shows not just the appearance of the subject but how he and the authority wanted him to be represented. The image serves as the primary means of visual identification of the subject (Vitaly Vorotnikov), and how he looked in real life.
Replaceable?	No, the man is dead.
