Unknown Giant Soviet Transport Aircraft

[gabrielorosco]

Hi!
Just found this soviet beast. It was meant to have both wheeled and air cushion landing gear. The weight was around 700 tons. Does anybody know more about this giant?

To know the source would be good for further research.
The wing center section and the circle indicated there could suggest, that it was designed especially for
big tubular cargo, rocket stages maybe ?
