I remember seeing The Story Of the Flaming Years in 70mm in NFT1 on the Southbank in the late 70s
and as Oliver says the Russian 70mm did not have the same level of detail as Western titles from 65mm.
I am sure they called it Kinopanorama.
I saw that one , too and it was not on the same level as War and Peace, in fact it was the first Russian 70mm production that I had seen at the time and I was quite disappointed with the picture quality.
If you compare it to a 70mm print of for example Solomon and Sheba which is not critically acclaimed but very good looking the difference is quite staggering and Solomon and Sheba is "only" a Super Technirama 70 production.
