Hello,
The Russians must have captured scads of Japanese aircraft in the their invasion of China, Mongolia and the northernmost of the Japanese home islands (which they still have, by the way) at the end of the war.
This webpage <http://www.j-aircraft.com/captured/> has pictures of captured Japanese aircraft - though none in Russian markings, though it does have a picture of a Lagg-3 in Japanese markings. Therein must lie another tale.
