Looks like it landed on one wheel. Bent the prop, too.

Looks something like an early Yak.

Whatever it is, looks like the vertical stabiliser's too small...

It isn't Russian either... But it did reasonably well against Bf109s...

It is an Ikarus IK-3, also called Rogozarski IK-3. It is a Yugoslav design that was just entering service when the Germans invaded. Only 12 were available during the attack and of those 6 were in flying condition...

I am not sure why anyone would want to name an aircraft company after Ikarus...
