In recent years, a wreckage of a MiG (motor frame, engine, center of the plane and middle part of fuselage) was found at the bottom of Black Sea (near Gelendzhik). After being lifted out it was transported to Novosibirsk, where the firm "Avion" restored it over 14 months, making the static example of Pokryshkin's fighter of 1941. This plane was restored by order of the Monino museum, but it is still in Novosibirsk.
Now, if it's the same aircraft, then Black Sea wrecks are worth going after......
