Talk:Boris Kornilov

I think works of this author, died 1938, are PD-Old-70, not PD-Canada or CC-BY-NC. Thus, they probably could be moved to ru.source - ??? -jkb- 23:21, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

According to present Russian copyright law, authors repressed in the USSR in 1920s—1950s become PD 70 years from the date of rehabilitation, not death (if rehabilitated posthumously). Kornilov was only rehabilitated in 1957. — Lozman 00:08, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Wow! I didn't know this §. I added a copyright notice there, please see if it is OK in this way. Probably this notice should be made in all his works. -jkb- 08:55, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Nevertheless, in the English Wikipedia I read: "For posthumously published works, copyrights were defined to last until fifty years after the publication,[57] and for posthumously rehabilitated authors, the fifty-year term began running at the date of the rehabilitation.[58]" - see en.wp:Copyright law of the Russian Federation#Duration of copyrights, i.e. 50 years after rehabilited, not 70 years. ? -jkb- 09:26, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

That article also states that the 2004 extension to 70 years applies to all works still then in copyright. Eclecticology 15:28, 21 May 2012 (EDT)

Until the 1991 Soviet law (effective in 1992) extending the copyright period to life + 50, the law was life + 25. Russian writers (and probably most Soviet writers) who died in 1966 or earlier are in the Canadian Public Domain. The later restoration of rights has n effect in Canada.
