I think we will never know that, because it's so hardly retouched that it can be ordinary Yak-18 by nature.
 
Yes my dear flateric,

it look like the M.A.I. old projects,M.A.I.53 and M.A.I.60.

To be honest,

yesterday I just knew that,the M.A.I.60 was sailplane.
 
Hi Hesham!
MAI-53 was also a sailplane. A two-seat training glider, to be correct:

And MAI-60 was a standard-class sport glider, named Snezhynka (Снежинка - Snowflake):
