Copyright for Romanov letters
« on: Jul 2nd, 2006, 7:18am »		 Quote Quote Modify Modify Remove Remove
Hello,
 
I am writing about copyright of the Romanov family letters; as they passed away in 1917, I guess their copyright has expired; would that mean those letters are now in the public domain? or would the copyright go to their heirs? if anyone has information on this topic please post a reply!
Thank you

As far as I can tell, unpublished material is protected by copyright in Russia for the life of the author plus a term of 70 years.  I can't find anywhere where this might have been extended in this case.
 
Here is a pdf of the Russian copyright law:
