IMHO thats the standard I-15bis with the panel in front of the cockpit dismounted. There can be still noticed the pipe outlet running from the fuselage MG. The DIT variant didn't have the MGs installed there. Also no the windscreen for the front cockpit.

 
I agree - I wrote "it looks like", but indeed it is a standard I-15bis.

Actually I'm not sure if the name "Maxim Gorki" should be used here. The plane is the ANT-20bis assembled after the ANT-20 ( TB-4 ) "Maxim Gorki" crash in 1935. The difference is the number of the engines. The Maxim Gorki was powered by the 8 engines while the ANT-20bis six ones only. The ANT-20bis stayed in service untill 1942.
But a nice shot though.

The only PS-124 (ANT-20bis, on photo) was used after the war outbreak in Tashkent region, where it crashed in 1942. He could not be on the Grivochki airfield (Dno in German documents) in principle. "Maxim Gor'ki" (ANT-20) crashed in September, 1935.

I don't remember if they didn't use the type marking also for the ANT-20 initially. To be honest, the Maxim Gorki was the enlarged variant of the ANT-16.
