Media data and Non-free use rationale
Description	Soviet academic Vasily Mishin
Author or copyright owner	Unknown
Source (WP:NFCC#4)	Creation date: 20th century Original Publication: Chertok B. E. Rockets and people. Fili - Podlipki - Tyuratam. The second book. Photos Immediate source: scan of original
Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Vasily Mishin
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 public domain if published anonymously by 31 December 1945 and the author remained unknown for at least 70 years, hence finding a free photo of decent quality is often impossible, especially given the disorganized nature of Soviet photo archives, the prevalence of poor documentation of works in them, and ignorance of creative commons licenses among the population of post-Soviet states.
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 2001.
