Yes, all Soviet Bi-planes I-152 etc. were all phased out by late 42' for the better La-5's and Yaks, but some were used as prey for Fw's while La-5s and Yaks would watch over them, this didn't happen very often, but it was pretty much mono-planes that the USSR was using as their main stead of fighters.
EDIT: Yes David, the Mk IX was in the USSR, but not until about mid-late 1944.
