Unknown Hanging

found quite a few photos in my grandfathers old army trunk including two of a hanging, only thing written on the back of the photo is what appears to be "Russie". Any info would be appreciated. He was a member of Canadian 409 Squadron.

The cavalry pants and high-heel boots raise the possibility of this man being a Soviet Political Commissar.
