I think a MiG-17, actually.

 

And a nice picture. The reflections add interest and the hangar provides a simple, non-distracting, yet thematically appropriate background. Shame about those things sitting on the ground to the left. Cloudy days are often best for airplane portraits and it works in this case. I might consider rotating it a couple of degrees clockwise; the vertical lines on the right side of the hangar are aligned with the frame but, because of wide-angle distortion, the ones toward the left are not.

It looks a little bit larger than MiG-15, and I think the wing has a different shape, but never saw MiG-17, so I couldn't tell for sure.

Recognition features are the longer fuselage, the unswept portion of the trailing edge inboard, the third (shorter) wing fence outboard of the other two, the non-tapered wing, the bulged fairing near the tailpipe, the ventral fin, and the afterburner.

 

The more I look at this picture the more I think it is a little top heavy and would be improved if the bottom were cropped to show the reflection of the fuselage but not the tail.

Kenneth, at first, thank you very much for your kind visit to see and rate my photos. I appreciate it very much.

 

Then to this one. At first it felt like someone mentioned, a bit heavy from the upper half, but after taking time to see the reflections, I am very much favorable for this composition. Very good capture, indeed. Where did you find CCCP-era jets? I noticed that you had several captures from them and also American and perhaps British planes also. Local aeronautical museum perhaps? :-)
