The first thing you should do is just try searching for the file in the Yandex.Images service. In my opinion, this is the best service in the world for reverse image search.
Sometimes it is quite enough to answer the question, "Who is this?

Now it's possible to try to search for a person's profile in the Russian social network VK ( 1,109,563,766 faces in database).

But this method doesn't work very well with known personalities...

This service shows the score of popularity of the person in the photo, a list of recent significant events in his life and a brief biography.

If only a very fuzzy image (or just an image in memory) is available, you can draw a identikit of the person

facemaker.uvrg.org

And if you try hard, a search on identikit can also help find the person (view pic)

There have been a lot of facial recognition #telegram bots lately. Here's an example:

t.me/pimeyesbot

(These bots are constantly appearing, then disappearing. Their current list can be found in the global #Telegram search for "face search", "face match" etc.)

Also, you should not neglect other services to search for pictures. For example:

tineye.com
pic.sogou.com
same.energy
image.so.com

There are so many of them. Try different ones until you get a result.
