I haven't the foggiest, and I'm not afraid to admit it!Looks Soviet though, and I'll hazard it's an amphibious tank.

I don't know what it was called, but it's a Soviet prototype amphibious tank from the mid-1960s. There's one at Kubinka, I think.
You're welcome Paul! Glad the photo is useful ;)
I can see how it would be amphibious - the hull looks like a crab's shell! :)
