It appears that I need to install a russian language pack on my computer. All I'm seeing right now are a bunch of weird looking A's lol. If you don't have an answer by this weekend I might be able to help you out. Although I think there are probably people on here who will get the answer much quicker.

Not fake , the K7 flew ,i think it crashed due to structural failure of one of the tail booms

The K7 is fake (too many engines!), but the German flying saucer and the Gee-Bee both saw combat. 
yes it flew ... once but not with naval cannons attached!

Nice CGI stuff, the first woman in the first two photos is wearing a contemporary short skirt and what looks like a pale blue jacket, the second woman is wearing a contemporary dress suit (both way way to short for 30's rodina), and the kid is wearing what look like DOCKERS and the guy is way too contemporary with his sport coat and no tie.
The one grainy 30's era picture and the one of the happy crew of 12 are plausable and don't show any of the usual Soviet era attempts to air brush with an undercoating gun, perhaps a happy picture just before the crash?

Not to mention the 1/3 to 1/2 increase in scale of the beast! Neat CGI though! Amazing stuff!

...But if the CGI scale is correct, then with the crash also perished the dastardly Russian Giant Aircrew Program.
I wonder what firing a naval rifle (gun) would do to
