I'm back!
With a plan view I wouldn't have needed to be "negative" about your swept-back comment 
It is Russian
Without a plan view it could almost be described....

TsAGI - Tsentral'nyy Aerodinamicheskiy i Gidrodinamicheskiy Institut- central aerodynamics and hydrodynamics institute[2] – may be written CAHI as an acronym of English words
TsAGI BP-2 or BP-3 but they don't quite seem to fit the silhouette
more likely the BP-2 as the BP-3 doesn't seem to have a tailplane, maybe there were several iterations.

It does have forward sweep 
Literally translated, TsAGI is the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute in Moscow, founded by the pioneer of Russian aviation, Nikolai Yegorovich Zhukovsky on December 1, 1918.
I will accept the project number of this glider as a Tsagi product, but would prefer the name of its designer who led the team who built and flew it and is known for other projects that have appeared on this forum!

A bit of "close to the net volleying" there, BT got Russian, LM picked up on forward sweep (the obvious reason why I didn't post a plan view) and TsAGI, finally BT finished it off with a smash. No I'm not watching a certain tournament in SE London, but I did sneak a look at the GP Qually on the Web.
buttrick has requested Open House! Do you wan't to take it LM as you were nearly there

Coz if you are, I'm happy to wait. If not there is one on my clipboard ready to paste.

Sukhoi Su-11 (I)?
Sukhoi Su-11 (I) - fighter
or at any rate a jet of the 'K' Project (Su-9, -11, -13)
Edit: not 13 (swept tailplane)

Not quite
be careful with aviastar, not renowned for their accuracy,
Su-9 RD-10 engines under slung nacelles
Su-11 TR-1 engines nacelles around the wing
Su-13 RD-500 (Derwent) engines bigger nacelles
