HP, as far as I can tell, it is Grumman Widgeon (you may note that I have made a slight error in silhouetting the lake above the mid-wing as part of the wing).
The thread is yours HP

Edit: .although I see now the poster says that it is Grumman G-21A Goose

Morning. Like HP I was assuming this was a Widgeon or even a Goose conversion. But the tail is weird and I cannot recall any having that kind of design. Can't open that Russian website so not sure where that leads. Is this perhaps newer than it initially seems? Time for a look through Aerofiles

I was lead astray by the tail, which seems different, but now I see that's only because it's deflected...
Stand by for new one...

If you click the Эх... на рыбалку бы
above the piccie (Oh, I'd like to go fishing) you get the discussion where they discuss the type.
I'd say it is Widgeon unless someone comes up with compelling evidence of something else.
Edit: The poster says it were a turbo engine (conversion?), but I doubt it .

Ah, now I see that.
I think it's a widgeon, see the windshield shape.
Moreover, the Widgeon has those same inlines with "cyl head main cooling openings" pointing to the right.
A pity we can't see the tail...
