On the Pik Pobeda page a guide service is noted. I looked at their web page and found that the mountain in the back to looks a bit like Rainier. Errrr... not.

Kyrgyz mountain?: left peak has a chute shape on near side, right peak has double apex, shallow dip between them and generally glaciated. Italian mountain: left peak does not have a chute shape on near side, right peak has single apex, deep dip between them and generally snow covered.

It is certainly Mt Baker. Exact match.
The question is, since Kyrgyzstan has so many spectacular mountains, why use Mt. Baker instead?
To me, the mountains in Kyrgystan look awesome:

Mt Baker is also awesome, but they could have used a local mountain just as easily. (Also, since the photo was from Mt Baker, it was almost certainly a stolen pic).
