Interesting how in today’s Russia they are trying to mobilize peoples feelings for the "glorious old Soviet days". Not everything is what it seems to be at first glance … So let me add some details here: Now, all GAZ Volga and Moskvich vehicles are based on designs are either based on pre-war (WWII) Ford vehicles starting with the Ford Models A and AA which were labelled as GAZ A and GAZ AA (even with the Ford logo converted into the „new“ GAZ logo). Both passenger cars and trucks were shipped to Russia from the US and later produced in Soviet factories financed by the US (citation Wikipedia:„During the war, GAZ assembled Chevrolet G7107 and G7117 (G7107 with winch) from parts shipped from the US under Lend Lease". GAZ models are German pre-war (WWII) Opel vehicle designs which, at the end of WWII fell into the hands of the Soviets when they conquered the Opel factories (the Brandenburg plant for trucks and passenger cars and the Magdeburg engines plants where these cars were produced before the beginning of WW2 in the Eastern part of Germany. Adam Opel AG as an entrprise was founded 1862 near Frankfurt/Germany was Germany’s best selling car and motorcyle manufacturer but as the result of the world economy crises at the end of the 1920s acquired by the US company General Motors in 1929/1931). Especially the Volga and GAZ top models were based on the German pre-war top models, then were on par with pre-war Mercedes Benz designs. Models Opel Admiral (Chayka), Opel Kapitaen (Volga), Opel Olympia (Moskvich)) were produced in Soviet Russia after the war with machinery and tools confiscated and transported to Russia. Same goes for all the engineering staff and their families, at least those who did not manage to escape from the Soviets …. The same very same happened to the German avionic industry, shipbuilding industry, railway industry, medical industry, agricultural industry, basically all German top industries. Now most LADAs are, as everyone knows, based on FIATs from the 1960/70s, especially the the VAZ-2101 "Zhiguli" and its derivatives are all licensed Italian FIAT 124 /FIAT 124 Special model designs from 1966 and onwards. Citation Wikipedia: „Under the licensing agreement with Fiat, VAZ were forbidden from selling the car in Italy in order to protect Fiat's lucrative home market.“ „ZIL was founded prior to the Soviet Revolution on 2 August 1916 as the Moscow Automotive Society or AMO. It was a modern building with the latest in American equipment and was designed to employ 6,000 workers. During revolution times the factory still managed to assemble trucks bought from Italy in 1917-1919. On 30 April 1923 the factory was named after an Italian communist Pietro Ferrero, but in 1925 was renamed to First National Automobile Factory. In 1929-1931, the factory was re-equipped and expanded with the help of the American A.J. Brandt Co.,and changed its name to Automotive Factory No. 2 Zavod Imeni Stalina (ZIS or ZiS). After Nikita Khrushchev denounced the cult of personality of Joseph Stalin in 1956, the name was changed again to Zavod imeni Likhachyova, after its former director Ivan Likhachev.(Citation Wikipedia). The exclusive ZIL cars shown at the exhibition are either US American Buick or Czechoslovakian designs. Icarus busses were a Hungarian design produced for the Eastern Block countries and not a Soviet design again. ZAZ Zaporozhets (Russian: Запоро́жец ) was a series of rear-wheel-drive superminis (city cars in their first generation) designed and built from 1958 at the ZAZ factory in Soviet Ukraine. (Citation Wikipedia). Incidentally, most of the industrial and scientific achievements of the Soviet era, especially military weapons technologies such as tanks, fighter planes, missiles, etc., are of Ukrainian origin. This is probably one of the reasons why today's Russia is trying so desperately to bring Ukraine back under its control ... So much for the glory of Soviet technology. PS: And as for the last "Volgas" as seen in the video I had a funny idea in buying one of those out of curiosity back in early 1991 when working in East Germany: Some of these were still being sold brand new at East German Opel dealerships as "old stock" for the price of 3500 DM or 1750 €/US Dollars back then. Didn't do it though, luckily ...

He was forcing me to clean 🧽 his car! 🤣 well. He had just two cars 🚗 as far as I know and saw myself. Moskvich and then later on used LADA 2106 but it was very problematic car. He sold it in a few years
The Lada Riva at 1:14 is probably one that was exported to the UK. The number plate is of the same style as that in the UK and it is right hand drive (i.e. the steering wheel is on the right). There is a video here on UA-cam (serach for "Classic Top Gear - Lada Exports") from the 1990s about Ladas being exported back to Russia from the UK.
Yeah I’ve seen the Too Gear Soviet cars reviews long time ago. I just forgot if there was an automatic transmission. I surely know that some export LADA cars were having it installed in the West before the selling.
Горбачёв никогда не ездил на ГАЗ-14 "ЧАЙКА", у него был ЗИЛ-41047. На чайках ездил низший эшелон власти, министры к примеру. Не путать с ГАЗ-13 "ЧАЙКА" (ранняя образца 1958 года). ЗиМ - Завод имени Молотова, такое в то время было второе название Горьковского автозавода. РАФ-2203 "ЛАТВИЯ" базировался на агрегатах 24-ой Волги и выпускался в Латвийской ССР.

That police bus is to pickup people that protest! In Los Angeles California back in the 1960’s you could slide the windows open, smoke, then the 1970’s you still had old busses you could open the windows and we use to smoke pot in the back of the bus! It was cool to stay in the back! On the way to the beach!
9:27 A Plymouth Prowler? What the hell is that car doing in Russia. There is hardly any of those around the world today and never a whole lot of them built, and Plymouth in 2001 was shutting down for good. The Ford Crown Vic on the other hand the American police vehicle. It was brought into Russia for police work in Moscow by the late Boris Yeltsin. Equipped with the low jack police tracking devices that tracks stolen vehicles. And last a Mazda, Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes Benz.
@@CrazyRussianSergey It is really true. Yeltsin brought it into the police arsenal in Moscow, and it was second to none against all criminals. From auto thefts to Illegal weapons trafficking.
Good piece Sergei. I saw one that looked like the red and yellow in Leningrad in 1991. At 2:45, that Chaika was modeled after American 🇺🇸 1955, ‘56 Packard. I saw a black one in Manezh Square and the 4:00 Zil resembles an American 1946/7 Cadillac. KGB stole our plans and the Chaika at 5:23 resembles 1967 Chrysler Imoerial. I loved seeing the Volga and ZIL exit fast from main gate of Kremlin onto Red Square. It was a great tour of your USSR country for me in 1991. I really wanted one of those party elite Duma ZIL limousines. Reminded me of Soviet equivalent of American Presidential limousine referred to as “the Beast”. Good luck to you Sergei. CWA. I remember Brezhnev. Maybe ZIL made those ambulances too. Loved Moscow and then Leningrad.
@OSTARAEB4 yeah I read about similarities between the cars from US. I think you even know more about some of these cars than me :)) but I might of have more experience being a passenger in those cars (except the Party Elite ones)
So if your grandpa bought that Volga, I take it that borrowing money from family and friends wasn't illegal in the USSR? What happened if someone didn't pay you back? Could you take them to court like you can in the West today?
You really need a NineBot scooter 🛴! Buy one and travel with it! It would be so fun riding around and 2 cameras! One facing forward ano the other looking at you as your riding around explaining what your seeing! That’s something new UTubeers aren’t doing! You would be the first! Just a idea for you to consider? Don Los Angeles California
Yeah! That's really very interesting even for me since those cars (except the Party Elite ones) I've seen and was a passenger many times. But it would be cool to seat in Soviet trucks

Yeah! They looked more royal. But then with the LADA mass market cheaper looking cars arrived
We had Moskvich in the UK until about the mid 70's when Lada took over. I preferred Moskvich!
Was it with Automatically transmission? I’ve heard some LADAS were modified to have AT for the export versions
That’s a nice blue car you’re grandpa had! I like it!
