I love him too - beautifully made
I searched - that's what I do - web research - not an expert on pottery/porcelain by any means but it's what I love -
because it says clearly "made in USSR" seems like made for export to Great Britain or US or other English speaking countries - cute little USSR figurines go for about $45 ish - but especially those on European sites don't show the backstamps -
this is a new field of pottery research for me - I've not found yet a comprehensive site representing all the USSR makers - will need further research - KB
