Fair use rationale for use in the article Vladimir Lenin

Even though the media Lenin corpse.jpeg is copyrighted and not released under a free license, I, DuceMoosolini, feel it is covered by fair use for at least one of the following reasons:

• No free alternative exists.
• The subject of the photograph is deceased, therefore a "new" image can not be created of this person.
• The image is of significantly lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of inferior quality).
• The placement in a RationalWiki article is being used for informational purposes only, and its use is not believed to detract from the original copyrighted media in any way.
• A free alternative may not exist now, but in the event of a free alternative being located for the article "Vladimir Lenin" in the future, this file should be deleted as soon as possible.
