).
A Ukrainian or Ukrainian SSR work that is in the public domain in Ukraine according to this rule is in the public domain
in the U.S.
only
if it was in the public domain in Ukraine before January 1, 1996, e.g. if it was published
before January 1, 1946
and
the creator died before this date, and no copyright was registered in the U.S. (This is the combined effect of the retroactive
[2]
, Ukraine's joining the
Berne Convention
in 1996, and of
17 USC 104A
with its critical date of January 1, 1996.)
This work is in the

URAA
date (1 January 1996).
