In Australia, all government materials (local or foreign) have 50 years copyright, so anything produced 1966 or earlier is  now out of copyright.

Subject: Soviet military maps and copyright

Has anyone dealt with Soviet military maps from a copyright perspective, such as when reproducing maps or making map scans available online?  What is your interpretation of copyright law regarding Soviet materials?
Although they didn't sign the Berne Convention, they became a signatory of the Universal Copyright Convention in 1973.  This stuff is usually best left to copyright lawyers, but in the meantime, are there any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom
