Maybe a long shot but i can't find anything googling except others having had the same issue but nothing on whether or how it was resolved. I have a Kiev 88 with the "new" style film back, but can't get it open and the plastic tag on the opening switch has broken. Is there any way get the back open to see what the problem is? Even just understanding what the plastic part does might help, is it there to prevent the switch moving in the slot (in which case its no big loss maybe) or is it more sophisticated than that? The multiple exposure button also appears jammed unfortunately.

Hah never mind, judicious fiddling and it seems to open ok now. Think the remains of the plastic tab were getting in the way. I guess the tab was just to prevent accidental opening of the back by moving the switch.
