Summary

Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Regimental commander Lev Lvovich Shestakov
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Creation date: circa 1942 Original publication: Lavrinenkov, Vladimir (1976). Сокол-1. Moscow: DOSAAF. Immediate source: http://www.warheroes.ru/hero/hero.asp?Hero_id=1472
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Lev Shestakov
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	for visual identification of the person in question, at the top of his biographical article
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	No photo-portraits are known to be under free licenses yet. No Russian photos from after 1945 can possibly be public domain in the United States, and photos from earlier can only be PD if published anonomously by 31 December 1945 and the author remained unknown for at least 70 years, hence finding a PD photo is often impossible, especially given the disorganized nature of Russian archives and the prevalence of poor documentation of works in them.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	Image size reduced, just for identification purposes.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	Unknown photographer is probably deceased given the age of the photo, and resolution is low.
Other information	The subject of the photograph has been deceased since 1944. Potentially public domain, but pre-1946 publication needs to be found.
