A very interesting paper dating from 1995 here:
Recent Developments in Russian Radar Systems.pdf (1.7MB)
http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/iel3/3929/11378/00522569.pdf?arnumber=522569
Covers the significant differences between Russian phased array systems and western ones. They really do do things differently over there.
An interesting aside is that the latest Chinese PLAN AAW DDG, 052C, which uses a "cousin" of SA-N-6 appears to use a space-fed reflectarray in a fixed 4-face arrangement. If you look closely at the photographs, you can see the antenna horns folded up beneath the array faces. (Some photos in port show them open)
