If anyone is interested, I believe there's an old Russian VHSrip on a certain Russian torrent tracker. I got it and discarded it long ago because it was full screen but not open matte. That being said, it didn't have a Harlan Ellision dedication, which may be of interest to some.

If you are mentioning it as a source of "blank" material, we are quite sorted in that sense, I believe we have everything we need. As for a Russian preservation, it depends if the film text was localized in Russian language. Does it have Russian language appearing on screen?
