Wouldn't there be right-holders still around ?
- inglor_cz 5y agoIf it was a Western book, definitely, but with books published in the 1980s in the USSR, I am not sure how it works. The USSR was not a signatory to the Berne convention, so the original rights may be lapsed. Russia joined the Berne convention in the 1990s, but there were some reservations agreed upon that limited the retroactivity. I think only Russian IP lawyers can answer that question with any precision.
