Subject: Leica copy (Russian)

I need some help with this camera, a Kiev (very pretty, looks as it left
the factory yesterday!) screw mount Leica copy. 

This is my very first screw mount, I also got 2 Jupiter lenses, 85/2.0 and
35/2.8 plus a cute finder. 

According to what I read, this should be copy of the Leica II, the
question (quite embarrasing), is there a special spool required to load
film in this camera?, I can't find a place where to insert the film
leader in the transport mechanism. 

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this is an off-topic question.
