Are there any good advice to give me if I want to try to develop the film by myself! any chemical list? or the guide on this page works for this russian film aswell?

I bought some Quarzcrome from the Widescreen Centre (London), a few years ago.
I developed it and it came out all faded! With the same chemicals and timings I developed some Kodak Tri-x and Plus-x, and they came out perfectly well.
Ah, I was forgetting: the Quarzcrome that The Widescreen Centre sent me had expired in 1992!!!
Maybe that's why it was so cheap...

Good luck, anyway!

Thanks!

I'll see if i dare to try to develop by myself...was it viewable at all or it was too messed up to watch?

Completely unviewable, with that annoying fading.
Maybe I could use the last roll to shoot some titles.
You'd better use Kodak Plus-x, instead of Quarzcrome...
