I suggest if you want a Soviet aircraft, that is early enough and capable enough to dogfight the Hurricane, in a fairly even battle.... Yak-1b. Both are early, and the Yak-1b though a bit under gunned than the Hurricane. It's roll and turning etc. should give the Hurricane a good fight.
And like Swagger said, there's a whole war between the Hurricane and La-7. So it's not very surprising between the two. Try the Yak-1b against the Hurricane, and see what you get. I'd be interested to see as well.
