This is a Soviet photo. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:12, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Keep - We know that. The photo shows an Afghan citizen. At the time when it was made, Afghanistan was controlled by a Soviet-backed government. I'm sure that duplicates of this photo were made, one of which most likely was kept by Momand since this was a very historical trip to space, and published in Afghan newspapers in 1988. On the other hand, we have no idea if this same image was published in another country.--Officer (talk) 22:15, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- The problem is that Soviet works are not public domain from this time, see {{PD-Russia-2008}} for the conditions for this image has to be in order for it to be public domain in the former Soviet Union. User:Zscout370 (Return fire) 22:21, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- The Soviets were not the only people creating images in 1988. We need to verify who the actual author is before we say who's work it is. Seeing an Afghan citizen in this photo makes me think that a group of Afghan government officials went along with the subject in the photo (Abdul Ahad Momand), took a camera with them since they knew this was one of a kind historical event, and began taking pictures. It's kind of difficult to believe that the Soviets only took this one person and no Afghan government officials because that is a very rare thing to do. Also, it's the Afghan government who were more interested in showing the world that one of their citizens went to space by making sure they have a picture to prove it.--Officer (talk) 19:41, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
