This work is copyrighted and unlicensed. It does not fall into one of the blanket acceptable non-free content categories listed at Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images or Wikipedia:Non-free content#Audio clips. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "Aleksandr Vasilevsky" :

To illustrate the subject in question
Where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information
On the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation ([2]),

qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

To the uploader: this tag is not a sufficient claim of fair use. You must also include the source of the work, all available copyright information, and a detailed non-free use rationale.

Rationale

This is the photo of the person who died which renders obtaining a free replacement image impossible. No free image was found through the good-faith effort. The image is of sufficiently low resolution to be useless for copying. It is widely spread on internet and in no way affects anyone's ability to make profit. Therefore, it is asserted that the usage of the picture in the WP article for the informational purposes by the non-profit WMF falls under both the FU exemption of the US copyright law as well as the narrower FU policies of the English Wikipedia
