Probably a Jew, although maybe German from locals (there is no reliable info).

>One thing it does not clarify is whether the reconnaissance data is radio-transmitted in real time back to control centres, or stored in place (magnetic tapes?) for later retrieval and decoding.

Internet says that both methods were used, although I don't think radio channel was good in 70s, so it is additional, not main mode.

>The photo of the alleged Tu-141 shot down in Crimea also does not have the Ukr paint job, it seems to have a red star instead

It has square around red star that is identified as remains of new UA logo painted over old one using not so good paint.

>one would expect Ukr to inform its NATO benefactors, to warn them of the danger (the thing flew for nearly an hour, there was surely time for a warning call)

If it was Ukrainian it malfunctioned so they may don't know where it is flying or if it is flying at all. If control channel is lost, and local radar coverage isn't in good shape (after missile strikes) it isn't easy to detect such thing, and I guess no one cared much.
