It is a VMF PE-2 fished by the Germans could possibly be this of 40 BAP Black Sea Fleet in 1941 or the later on in 1944 29 AP attached to the Russian Navy
otherwise VMF Northern Fleet

1941 is impossible, since the white edge of the red star was introduced much later during the war.

Gabor, like always is very good to see you again and hear your valuable opinions, ok so when was this logo introduced ?

Re: Soviet naval aircraft type
 

Right now I do not remember exactly, but probably in 1943. I have to check. First they had the simple red star, then red star with black outline, then red star with white edge, finally white (silver) edge with a narrow red outline. Have to look into dates. Cheers,

Gabor

Surely a Pe-2 for the turret and the navigator's hatch. Besides Yak-4 had not a rounded rear fuselage, and it was of mixed construction as the Yak fighters.
Interesting detail, the unusual red stars over the wings. I've already seen a photo of a Pe-2 with these unusual stars, perhaps they were typical of some unit.
