My question is whether it's safe to wind the hours backwards on a

seem to remember being told it's only safe to advance a time-setting,
not retard it.

Strictly speaking, that's correct: Movements shouldn't be set anti-clockwise as that might harm the wheel train. OTOH, with a cheapo Russian auto that you aren't afraid of losing anyway and that might be set anti-clockwise once or twice a year, who cares?
