•  Info created by Kuba Bożanowski - uploaded by Andrew J.Kurbiko - nominated by Andrew J.Kurbiko -- Andrei (talk) 22:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support -- Andrei (talk) 22:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose too noise, copyright violation (the newspapper is a main subject of the photo and isn't free) Ezarateesteban 23:13, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Poland appears to have FOP for 2d works, but I'd defer to someone with more knowledge about the nuance of Polish law about this. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Not really noisy to me, just a little grainy and with a short DoF, but everything is recognizable, and the composition has grown on me, such that I now find it quite good. The amount of the newspaper that's readable is probably fair use. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:46, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support per Ikan. – The photos visible on the newspaper page can certainly be handled de minimis (i.e. no legal problem), and the design of that newspaper itself is so mediocre that it would be crazy to claim a copyright for it. ;–). --Aristeas (talk) 07:52, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

• Agree -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:06, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Support--Princess Rosalina 💄 452027 08:33, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support An important contemporary picture; significant composition. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:44, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Cmao20 (talk) 12:40, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Comment - I don't mind some noise, but while this is a clearly valuable piece of photojournalism and documentation of a moment, couldn't that newspaper just be put in any average scene with the same (or better) effect? i.e. there's not much I take away from the expressions, [in]actions, composition that helps tell the story of that day -- just a newspaper. Not opposing -- just wondering out loud. — Rhododendrites ^talk |  22:00, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

• Good point, Rhododendrites. This event ripped open deep wounds and trenches at that time. Katyń is a symbol of the great national trauma of the murder of several thousand Polish officers by the Soviets in 1940, the guilt of which was only acknowledged by Gorbachev in 1990. Traumatic was also the denial and suppression of this truth by the communist rulers in the PR Poland. The delegation in the plane wanted to commemorate this crime and was killed with a blow. A week after the accident, I was on the streets of Warsaw during the official mourning ceremonies and felt the paralysis of the people. Perhaps the comparatively usual photo impresses me more because of the personal experience. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:00, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

• Thank you very much for the explanation, Radomianin! --Aristeas (talk) 07:45, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

•  Weak support Per Rhododendrites it's not the aesthetics, but the historical value and the street-photography immediacy the angle and grayscale imbue it with. Daniel Case (talk) 17:22, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
•  Support.--Vulcan❯❯❯Sphere! 04:05, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
