[edit] Images
... are here (http://www.cpic.ru/ByTheWay/AllNotes/Nov3-.htm). Pictures are PD because they are old. It is less trivial with sculptures. Modern Russian law explicitly states, though, that object permanently located in public places are not protected. The question remains whether the author of the photo of the sculpture has any copyright claim. In US he does if he pictures a 3-d image (sculpture, palace) and he doesn't if he captures a 2-D image (that is taking photo of the painting doesn't generate a copyright for the photo itself). Could be that photos of these sculptures are still PD because of the above quirk or RU-law. Hope this helps, --Irpen 04:39, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Anti-Semitism
The Encyclopedia Judaica states that he left Russia due to antisemitism, specifically in the Russian nationalist Christian press who basically said that he had no right to make sculptures of the Czar et al. because he was not Christian himself. (unsigned by anon)
