In early 2017, Russian-made cars once again went on sale in Germany and Cuba. A few decades earlier, in Soviet times, Ladas, Volgas and Moskvitches were very popular in Europe and elsewhere around the world. Even today, those vintage cars have many fans. RBTH takes a look at the western love affair with the Soviet automobile.

I think that as few of these Russian cars were seen in the west due to the cold war, they make for an interesting topic for collectors of real classic cars and for modellers. More info on the GAZ Volga M21 can be found here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAZ-21
