It was actually restored in Russia, by the same factory, which rebuilt MiG-3, I-16, I-15bis and I-153. This particular aircraft took part in few airshows in Russia, before sent to US.
There is another IL-2 in production line currently, which is supposed to be rebuilt with original engine.
If you search I-net and youtube, you can find a number of clips and TV shows with this plane, made in Russia recently.
