Looking for soviet pilot petting a hedgehog

Does anyone know the artist that did a piece that illustrated a pilot (i believe it was a soviet pilot because i remember a red star on his hat) who is petting a hedgehog? It is not a photograph, my guess is that it was an illustration. He has kind of a proud/vacant stare on his face. It was completely black and white except the star on his hat and blood on his hands from petting the hedgehog. Maybe you've come across it online too. Your help is much appreciated, thanks

I have never heard of this work, but it kind of sounds like something Komar and Melamid would have done.
