Hmm....
Very sharp, the colours are unkmistakeably Russian, the bokeh is swirly and it doesn't look like a tele. It has to be a Helios 44 of some kind, maybe the 44-2?

It is not a Helios and it's not Russian. It is a normal FL lens though.
Good guess though as it looks like the Helios, which is why I posted it.
