From 21 September 1968, the cinema was renamed back to Scala for a short period of time, but after 26 September 1969 it was called Moskva again. The cinema was closed for repairs between 1971 and 1973, when it was adapted for 70mm films and stereophonic sound. The cinema opened again on 22 November 1973 with a ceremony that included the screening of the movie "The Siberian Woman" ("Сибирячка") by director Aleksei Saltykov to invited guests; regular screenings for the public began on the following day. In the 1980s, the Moskva cinema was one of the best in the city, together with other cinemas in the city centre such as the Družba, Praha, Jalta, and Úderka cinemas. At the same time, it boasted the best equipment in Brno after the above-mentioned reconstruction.
