Default balalaikas

I have a balalaika that was passed down in my family. the label is all in russian, so i have no idea what kind it is. it also has been repaired by the looks of the neck. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to tune this thing? It has six strings, but there too close together to tune like a guitar. Is it tuned more like a six-string mandolin?
