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...):

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.
