Retard, it was reusable. The zenit boosters landed back on earth using a mix of parachutes and retrorockets. Those massive dark gray compartments on the side of the boosters are what contained the landing legs. Only reason it wasn't used during its two launches was because they replaced the landing legs with a bunch of telemetry instruments. The third (fully built) rocket was going to be the first to use this capability. It's the entire reason why the RD-170 was rated for 10 flights.

You're thinking of the boosters with wings that were going to glide back and land on a land strip.
