According to the non-retroactive copyright law of July 10, 1952, of the People's Republic of Poland, all photographs by Polish photographers published before the law was changed on May 23, 1994 that are without a clear copyright notice are assumed to be in the public domain.
This image was uploaded under good faith using the above tag: however, it may be under United States copyright if it was first published on or after January 1, 1923.[1]

Public domainFlag of Russia This file is in the public domain in Russia. It was published before January 1st, 1954, and the creator (if known) died before that date (For veterans of the Great Patriotic War, the critical date is January 1st, 1950). Works belonging to the former Soviet government or other Soviet legal entities published before January 1st, 1954, are also public domain in Russia. (This is the effect of the retroactive Russian copyright law of 1993 and the copyright term extension from 50 to 70 years in 2004.)

A Russian or Soviet work that is in the public domain in Russia according to this rule is in the public domain in the U.S. only if it was in the public domain in Russia in 1996, e.g. if it was published before 1946 (1942 for WWII veterans) and the creator died before that year, and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the combined effect of the retroactive Russian copyright law of 1993, Russia's joining the Berne Convention in 1995, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)

Public domain This work is in the public domain because it has no copyright within the Russian Federation. This is because the copyright is disclaimed under Article 8 (Works not Protected by Copyright) of the Law of the Russian Federation on Copyright and Neighboring Rights (No. 5351-I of July 9, 1993).

Hence it is assumed that this image has been released into the public domain worldwide. However use of this image within Russia might be subject to usage restrictions regulated by other laws.
