I've found these pictures rambling around the web, but I have no further info, except that they are soviet gliders (and some most interesting ones, I'd add...):

Photo n°1 : Gremyatsky "Discoplan" designed in 1968 by Anatoly Gremyatsky with the students of the Moscow Aviation Institute. Flight tested by Gremyatsky in 1969.
Photo n°4 : Cheranovski Bich 16 man-powered ornithopter designed in 1934 in collaboration with Osaviakim.

Drawings of the Gremyatsky "Discoplan" from an unknown magazine.

Fascinating how the elevon "mixer" is mostly cables ... in comparison with Western "mixers" that need complex weldments. Clever way to reduce manufacturing complexity!
Even the V-tailed Davis homebuilts use nested rectangular frames in their mixers.

The caption in not too helpful, stating that the photo shows "glider pilots of the Tochzlektropribor plant undergoing ground training/instruction supervised by P P Papusha".

The device in the photograph is looks like a generic ground instruction apparatus. The articles describes glider training in general at the Tochzlektropribor Youth plant in the Ukraine.
