Interesting news from Russia. I thought the Chelomei LKS (light space plane) mockup was destroyed after the project was cancelled in the 80s. Now this pops up... is it the original artefact?

Is seems only the front (cabin) is original, the rest was recreated from 'secret plans':

Very interesting! Thank you for posting this.

Do we have any more old photos? Or photos of it's interior *the mockup*?
