Use in article (WP:NFCC#7)	Goncharov (meme)
Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8)	To support encyclopedic discussion of this work in this article. The illustration is specifically needed to support the following point(s): The degree of commitment to portraying Goncharov as if it is a real film to which its fans have gone While there is no actual film made, this poster has been consistently used to represent the imaginary film in numerous sources. Further, this poster, as one of the earliest pieces (if not the first piece) of Goncharov fanart, has been credited for the meme's popularity and as the inspiration for its popularly-conceived fiction in various coverage that is cited within the article. It is also credited with establishing certain key details of the fiction, such as the imagined casting, character names, credits, and plot details implied via the visuals.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6] This information has been noted in the article itself, in a section explaining the meme's development.
Not replaceable with free media because (WP:NFCC#1)	While it is acknowledged that another poster could be produced and released under a free license, this specific poster's creation and its subsequent role in inspiring the Goncharov meme and its fiction, has been a frequent point in coverage of the meme, as shown in the above cited sources. Therefore, this specific piece of art and its historical significance to the subject's popularity, and subsequent notability, makes it not replaceable for this purpose, which is not simply to provide an example of the meme, but to provide context for its development. Any free replacement would not be "the poster" which reliable sources identify as inspiring Goncharov's popularity, or else would be so close a replication as to potentially constitute a copyright violation, and therefore would be insufficient to illustrate that history.
Minimal use (WP:NFCC#3)	This image is a low-resolution copy of the artwork, which would be inadequate as a basis for bootleg versions that could potentially deprive Korotchuk of the opportunity to make money from the sale of this artwork.
Respect for commercial opportunities (WP:NFCC#2)	The use of a low resolution image of the artwork will not impact the commercial viability of the art.
