First of all, this project was seen as a fighter escorts for bombers Tu-4.
"Planned flight to the target at a front engine and in a combat situation with the work of both engines increased the speed and rate of climb. Dimensions of aircraft: 21,2 m span, length 18.0 m, wing area 61.5 sq.m. The estimated mass of empty about 9 tons, fuel oil and 4400 kg and 300 kg with an overload, the full load of six tons, takeoff weight of 15 tons all-metal construction. "
Competitors: OKB-21 by S. Alekseyev I-211 (2xASh-83)
OKB-134 by P. Sukhoy - VK-2 powered escort fighter (span-16, 2m; lenght-13, 35m)

Yes of course, this is famous Pavel Sukhoi and nobody else. There could be different transliterations of his surname - you can find "Sukhoi", "Sukhoj" or "Sukhoy".

The Sukhoi project was big enough, but nevertheless its size is still in "fighter" limits. But Pashinin S-82... isn't it enormously big for a fighter, especially for Soviet one?

Thank you very much my dear Redstar.

I like the looks of the Su escort. As for size for a fighter, it compares well to Boeing's XF8B-1 late WWII prototype, which I've read was quite suitable as a fighter. The Su reminds me of a Reno air racer. It's got that 'sleekness' to it.
