Are there any good books on various svoiet WWII fighter pilots?

I know there were a fair few women included but would love recommendations that aren't too coloured by politics and nationalist sentiment.

Ian Allen Bookshops are usually worth a look for that kind of thing, here's two books I found on their site:

There is supposed to be an expensive hard to get book about the Il-2

IAP shows this off a quick search, probably not what you're after though:

Okay, found these two, they are from Crowood Aviation publishing. I use their books when I review add-on aircraft for avsim.com They are usually of an unbelievably high standard with obsessive detail. A highly recommended publisher. Not got these two particular books, but I do have theirs on the Me262 and the Lockheed F-104 and they are quite honestly superb references:
