Why not? As far as I can remember the Soviet Union *is* a signatory to
the Berne Convention which does cover copyright issues, and grants
protection from copyright-related crimes.

Now that the US (ah, that's SU backwards :-) have signed the Berne
Convention there may be complications that cut both ways. Wasn't there
a retrocative application of the rules on works created during the
last 75 years or something like that?

Or are there any added twists that complicate, ... eh, sorry,
*simplify* the matter?
