What plane is this? It is Russian but I haven't a clue as to what it is.

Tu-144?

I'd certainly guess it's a Tupovlev something, and yeah it does look like a Tu 144.

I'd concur. Can't see anything else that looks like it has an engine config like that.

Best tail shot I could find of the plane:

I've been inside that very plane at the Technikmuseum Sinsheim

The plane is pretty cool. You can actually 'walk uphill' into the cockpit.

And yes, it's definitely a Tu-144 in the OP.
