Yes, the Russian army used a similar-looking rocket barrage truck called something Russian during WW2 that fired rather inaccurate rockets. This is definitely one of those. And for the record, the Russians used these in almost every major battle, not just in the Battle of Stalingrad. Battle of Kursk, Battle of Berlin, Battle of Stalingrad, etc. had notable numbers of these. And the Battle of Stalingrad was fought in '42-'43, not '45.

The Russians did, however, love to use these to decimate Berlin in 1945.
