Not Polish - but is it East European? I don't think it's Russian but Sycamore is right I think - it has that blue shade on the dash
That double raised panel is typical Soviet bloc style and it isn't Russian so yes, Sycamore is in the right ball-park.
There really wasn't much Civil aviation going on in that part of the world at the time hence the (almost exclusive) military usage at home but upon retirement a number of this model made it to the US & Canada where its abilities were evidently appreciated.

Ok - Not Russian or Polish - so Czech, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Hungary, E German, ?Albanian? (I wouldn't put anything past people on here)

Teusje has it, UYVA 66
A very capable utility Eastern bloc STOL machine on wheels, skis or floats. The big supercharged Lycoming scoffed fuel but it was an impressive rugged piece of kit. A sort of Soviet Helio Courier.
