File:Chernenko 1984.jpg

Summary[edit | edit source]

The image is used to identify the subject, Konstantin Chernenko, a person of public interest. The significance of the image is to help the reader identify the subject, assure the reader they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the subject, and illustrate the subject in a way that words alone could not convey. Image is used only for educational purposes and its appearance here does not affect sales of any kind, not the copyright holders ability to market the image. This particular image is necessary to establish what the subject looked like towards the end of his life, after his health had declined significantly. This is the only known photo of him wearing his three Hero of Socialist Labor titles.
