A neat mate in 2 with an unknown source

Instead of participating in April Fool jokes, I rather have a small request.

Nagesh Havanur (India) tries to find the composer and source for the problem seen presented by Oleg Pervakov on Aeroflot 2013 - a neat checkmate in 2 moves.


Author and source unknown (2013 or earlier)
White to move and checkmate in 2 moves


If you know the author and source (or either), please send me an e-mail or (if you don't have my e-mail address) post in the comments. If you're a MatPlus forum member, you also can reply there - the link is above, labeled "tries to find".
