I'm thinking the Russians stole that design from the English blueprints and designs of the first English fighter jet and its centrifugal compressor.

This is definitly wrong. The first MiG 15 had a English turbine (produced in licence) but the design was a taken from a German Focke Wulf Ta 183. The famous German aircraft designer Kurt Tank was the "father" of the MiG 15.

There was no "license". It was just reverse engineered.
