Not Czech or Russia, but it is from a former USSR state - that borders Poland
I believe so, although I cannot confirm as there is little information on when it was built - it certainly only flew within the last 5 years.
Edit, first registered in 2009

True mate, but they're not former USSR states - mind you the Russians did try after the war
Not Ukraine.
Do you want to see a photo?

Good call David
Yes, it is the Lithianian Vlado Kensgailos VK-9 which is amazingly, a homebuild! Only the one built, or at least known of, which first flew in 2009. A good video on You tube here:

Not a Fauvel Ken.
mmm....I'll give you that one - it's just that I have it listed as something else, the Chauvet.
Another case of two different names!
Your control Ken.

Thanks David. Not heard of the Chauvet name but as is often the case with light and experimental aircraft, as you say two different names (or sometimes more) for the same machine.
A 3-view for a change:
