Not with the fin shape. As memo serves soviets didn't build the DC-2 but the DC-3 later modified slightly and named Li-2.

However I found the info .. "Back in 1937 a Douglas DC-2 was brought via Amtorg, one of the companies acting as agent for Aeroflot. It is highly likely that this DC-2 was registered as USSR-M25, there is photo, evidence of a DC-2 with this registration. This particular DC-2 crashed in August 1937."

So it may be a picture taken at the crash site. In the case the shot does nothing in common with the German invasion on the USSR.
The info source:
Douglas DC3, Dakota, C47, R4D, DC1, DC2 A/C Capt.Allen Campbell

That's that common image of the TB-7 that took the Soviet delegation to the UK. It's taken at Tealing in Scotland. In the background to the right can be seen a Hawker Hurricane. There's other British stuff in the background that can't be made out in this image.

Yup, confirmed in Gordon and Komissarov's book on the Li-2, which has a terrific rear view of URSS-M25. Soviet aircraft adopted the French initials of the Soviet Union for their civil rego initially. The book describes the purchasing of the DC-2, as well as a Northrop Gamma. The DC-2-152 originally registered as NC14949 was of considerable interest to the Soviets and was flown around the different research institutes, but the emergence of the DST was of greater interest and a decision was made to enquire with Douglas about manufacturing that instead. Reputedly, the only thing of interest to the Soviets about the Northrop was its cockpit heating system!
 
Yak 9

The personal hack of British pilot James Eric Storrar (due this carries his initials 'JAS'). Storrar served as a commander with 234th Squadron RAF, equipped with P-51 Mustangs, based at Trevisto in Northern Italy. This plane ruptured its oil tank during a flight, when all attempts to repair or replace the damaged item failed the Yak-9 was ceremonially burnt in the center of the airfield. Formerly this Yak served with Bulgarian AF and was hijacked by Bulgarian defector Alexandov.
