If I remember correctly the Slava 2416 was a mod of the 2414 as it could be changed to be automatic but this did not stay in production for long so maybe they have modified a 2414 to automatic themselves...hmmm. I love Russian watches and it has been a while since I have thought about the movements. I used to just read about the history on russian watches. It is funny that Slava, Vostok, Poljot and various others use the same model numbers but that watches are different between manufacturers. I have a few of those 2414 Slava Twin spring movements in some old 70's watches and they are a bit rare, I will crack em open and take a few pics if you want.
Another model is the 2427 which is also a mod of the 2414 and there is more info on this page
