Based on a quick search, it appears the photo dates back to February 2014.

If the articles (mostly blog postings) from that time are accurate, then Roscosmos had the suit designed for use by Orthodox church priests for the eventuality when one might fly in space.

Hahaha. It is absolutely clear this has been photoshopped.

Yep, unless two suits could be posed next to each other with the exact same creases and reflection in the helmet, it is photoshopped!
