VR5 was released commercially on VHS in the U.S… (Although some music was changed to save money.) I have my old VHS tapes from back then, but most importantly there are is pretty good TV rip available. I believe it is Russian. There is also a movie version of the first two episodes together that includes some deleted footage.

The only problem is it needs labor intensive conversion to NTSC (which has been on my to-do list for years since I love this series).
In and out of VR scenes changed between 24p telecined to 29.97i and native 29.97i footage.
As a result the PAL conversion needs different restorations for different scenes.
