According to the photographer Yevgeny Khaldei, those were British Hurricanes of No.151 Wing RAF which operated from Vaenga-1 airfield near Murmansk for a short time in mid-late 1941.
The image itself is a collage of British Hurricanes, explosions, and a deer nicknamed Yasha which befriended Soviet soldiers during Operation Platinfuchs - German-Finnish assault on Murmansk.
