File:View of central square in tolyatti, russia.jpg

Fair use rationale (see WP:NFCCP)

• 1) No free equivalent. Since there's no freedom of panorama here (it's an artwork), you'd need the permission of the copyright holder. This is not reasonably possible. The statue is located in a foreign land, under foreign laws, using a foreign language, and in possibly one of remoter places on the planet -- think if Toledo were located in Montana and how remote and obscure that would seem to a person in Russia. So first of all, who knows who the sculptor is? Not me. And the chance of finding out is extremely remote at best. Second of all, who knows who holds the copyright -- the sculptor? The City of Tolyatti? Samara District? the Russian Federation? The sculptor's employer (if not one of these)?. What if the sculptor is dead -- how do Russian estate laws work? IANARL (I am not a Russian lawyer) and neither are you. Third of all, even if you could find out who the sculptor is, and find out who held the copyright, and contact them, would they give you permission to put a photo of the entity under a free license? No, they wouldn't; why should they? Obviously, few things in this world are impossible. But let's be realistic: there's never going to be a provably free photo of this statue and this structure, not in this century.
• 2) Respect for commercial opportunities. OK. There's no market for a photo of this obscure statue as far as I can tell.
• 3) Minimal usage. Well, it's only used in the article on Central Park, where it sits. And a thumbnail in the list article. It's pretty minimal.
• 4) Previous publication. Well, it was published in the Russian Wikipedia by the person who took the photo and gave away all his rights (which are nil, legally, I guess, but FWIW he did do that; there's a moral dimension here since the person who takes a photo own the rights to it in all cases except weird exceptions, of which this is one, and the photographer giving away his right counts for something IMO).
• 5) Content. Check.
• 6) Media-specific policy. Meets Wikipedia:Image use policy AFAIK.
• 7) One-article minimum. Check.
• 8) Contextual significance. Yes I guess so. It's a matter of opinion I suppose. IMO you can't fully understand the entity "Central Square" without seeing how it looks. This is true of many geographic entities IMO. Whether this photo helps enough to make it worth overriding our usual stricture against using copyrighted works neither I nor anyone can say with certainty. A picture of the large barren parking lot might be more realistic; don't have one of those.
• 9) Restrictions on location. Check.
• 10) Image description page. Check; you're looking at it.
