I'm fairly certain it is a montage - the lighting in the upper half is very different, and the fields suddenly merge with the town or city, no smaller roads or buildings dotted around. The cloud line covers the 'join' of the two images, and note that the river suddenly ends !
 
I don't think the clouds are clouds.. this is the battle fumes... also the river is a channel. The Russian source says Il-2 over Berlin. But I'm going to agree it is a collage of two different pics.

Here is a couple of shots of the same Il-2. You may notice the censorship's work.

 
Yes, I thought the markings on the fuselage had been added - to stark, and not conforming to the curves.
Presumably a war time, or immediate post war propaganda shot for the Soviet newspapers.
