The attached photos were taken in what I have been told is a secure Russian museum, unfortunately I do not have the name or location. But can't be too secure since one of the photos shows a child walking around. I am most interested in the item that has an arrow pointed to it. My guess is it is a Soviet model of the US SADM, but no way to tell. So was hoping some of our European friends might have info or a better ID?

If the containers at the front of the display are the actual item then I'd say too large to be a SADM equivilent, more like a MADM.
 
it's hard to get a size reference, but it is closer in size to a SADM then MADM - I've torn both apart for training several times, and the one pictured ahs some very similar features to a sadm.. If you are familiar with either, then take closer look at the pictures and note its geometry (physic's package) features. I have found this museum on the web, but it wasn't much help in getting a better picture or info.
