Wow, no doubt the Russians are damn good at doing things the hard way, and willing to do it too. Three glass plates to make one photograph!

A cautionary note about the colors, though: No color photography produces a perfectly true image, and the same is true of this process. If they didn't have access to the original filters used to make the photos, they wouldn't have a prayer of getting them close to right. Even with them, it's necessarily an inexact process. The bright colors could reflect reality, or they could just be a result of some more or less arbitrary parameters chosen by the technicians.
