Russia doesn't use the Latin alphabet.  It would be PB-8 (fortunately there are Latin letters that look the same for this one).

Yup.  Russian pilots had a tendency to put catchy phrases on their aircraft.  Probably half heartfelt sentiment and half appeasement of the Commissars.

"Death to Fascists" is one of my favorites.  For Stalin, For Russia, For the Fatherland, for .  Sometimes the organization that paid for the aircraft would have their names on it; Malay Theater donated some Yaks, Mongolia some La5s, and their was one guy at a factory that got an La-5 named after him, but his name escapes me.  

Soviet side slogans are an entire field of study.
