Very flat countryside.
4 sets of 'touchdown zone' markings (presumably the fixed distance marking with a further set of TDZ are out of shot at the bottom of the photo) mean a runway of 10,000ft or more.
Buildings left of shot appear to be in a line parallel to the runway so maybe there was a parallel taxyway.
Course if it's in the former USSR I could be talking b0ll0cks!
Having said the above, my posting crossed with Mac's response so I'll have to modify my guess about soil type to former East Germany.
You guys are just too good
....yes it is in the former East Germany.
