Who knows? These guys know: http://www.subclub.org/shop/chaika2.htm
What is in the body blocking the back of the lens? The shutter. :-(
It seems that the original page description is perfectly correct, it was
designed to allow use of the camera lens as an enlarger lens, rather than to
provide an interchangeable camera lens facility.
But I don't see much likeness to the Werra.

There is one in the third picture, it is an arm that attaches to the tripod
screw. The lens support may be extremely limited as there is no rangefinder
to couple to and who knows what below it in the body blocking the back of
the lens.

Looks like it doesn't have a shoe to mount the finder though !
Is it a knock off of the Werra, looks similar.
