Challenge
I'm making a bold assumption that the front is to the left because the guy in the picture taking a photograph would probably want the "pretty" end.
Single or twin?

Sorry HQ, does look like it but it's not a Hustler 
Not too sure whether it's a mock up or the real thing, but I do know that this particular aircraft never flew!

Hello HQ,
No, we have had that before and the M-50 appeared in a famous flypast over Moscow in 1961, note that I did say above that this particular aircraft never flew, keep digging

You have it AfgAirOps; it is the Myasishchev M-52 Well done 
What was intended to be the production Bounder, fitted with the engines it was designed for, the Zubets 16-17 turbojets replacing the original Dobrynin units of the M-50 "proof of concept" prototype, whose lack of power rather limited its preformance. One M-52 was completed but was never tested in the air before the program was terminated due to the development of the ICBMs and the priority assigned to the Soviet space program..
AfgAirOps has control, please post a new challenge or declare an Open House
