Vlad,
This looks like a broken ribbon. The fix is not that easy, but possible, since you only need a new ribbon, which most repairmen have.

Man.. I was afraid of that.. thanks for your opinion, Yura! I will most likely send a whole box of broken cameras from my collection to you to get fixed over the summer

Yeh, sorry that you have this problem Vlad. I had same stuff with Kristall. It is definately bad ribbon. Without experiense shatter and evrething around it really hard to fix on Zenits

Thanks Okynek, it sucks because it's the 50 year from October revolution (1917-1967) anniversary Zenit 3M.. it is otherwise cosmetically perfect.. Beautiful shelf piece, but it really bugs me to have a non-working piece in my collection
.. I guess I'm somewhat a perfectionist in that sense...

Vlad,
You should not be really upset about it, since it is fully repairable and the parts (ribbons and even curtains) are still available.
So you can keep in on the shelf with this knowledge in mind.
