Hi,
Sorry, another question concerning reproduction rights...
I need to publish some images from "Krestianka" journal from 1929-1936.
According to MIT press "Public domain articles are 1923 and older," yet according to Russian the Copyright law "a general duration of copyrights of 50 years beyond an author's death, or 50 years since the publication of an anonymous work."
What about articles and magazine illustrations and design (in most cases anonymous)?
Would contemporary "Krestianka" have the copyrights for the Soviet period?
In short, do I have to get the reproduction permission for the material originally published in mass periodical press in Russia/Soviet Union at least 70 years ago and where do I get it?
Thanks.
