I had a girlfriend who grew up in Minsk in the 60s,70s,80s. She was not a techie at all, but she had a great knowledge of automobiles. She told me, because of the lack of repair garages and the poor roads in Belarus (part of the Soviet Union back then), you had to learn how to do basic maintenance on your own car before you could drive. She was taught the basic knowledge of every part of the car in high school - if you wanted to drive you needed to pass that class. Tune up, oil change, change tire, coolant maintenance, brake inspection/replace, inspect wires and ignition, clean and gap spark plugs, chassis lube, clean air/oil filters... they reused oil filters, tighten bolts... the list went on.

His small company was a car dealership, had a driving school, and Heinz Melkus and his sons were racing drivers, building and driving their own cars like the SRG MT 77, an open wheel car with the engine of the Lada/Fiat 124 and the gearbox of the Wartburg 311. The Melkus 1000RS used the 3cyl 2stroke engine of the Wartburg 353 and also its front screen.

When I was a kid in USSR in the 80's, one of my favorite pastimes was to learn and be able to recognize all car models, not just by the way they looked, but by their sound. So I could tell whether it was a Volga or a Moskvich / Izh driving by my window without looking. It wasn't hard. There were about 10 models, I guess, on the street. I remember my own excitement, when newer models, like VAZ 2108/2109, Moskvich 2141 and Tavria started showing up. But I have never, ever seen Melkus. I would probably jump out of my pants, that's how fast I would run to see that car. Nope. All I could see were the usual cars: ZAZ-968 (and, occasionally, older ZAZ-965, I still like how it looks), Moskvich 2140, sometimes a Moskvich 408 or Moskvich 412 would show up (hey! it had fins! I used to like these cars because of their taillights). Then there were IZh cars, this factory was a Moskvich (AZLK) offshoot, so they shared a lot. Like there was Moskvich 412, and there was IZh-412. But there were other models, like station wagon IZh-2125. VAZ cars (Ladas) were numerous, of course - VAZ-2101 (including 21011 and 21013), VAZ-2102, VAZ-2103, (then) newer VAZ-2104, 2105, 2106 and "Mercedes wannabe" VAZ-2107. Volgas, like GAZ-24 (or even older GAZ-21) were far fewer in number, but it surprisingly, they were used as taxis (by state taxi companies, the only taxi companies). GAZ also produced "executive-class" cars, like Chaika ("Seagull") GAZ-M13 and GAZ-14, but those were rare sights on the street. When I was a kid I kept hearing you could rent one for wedding. Can't tell if that was true or how hard would that be (note: not "how expensive", but "how hard would it be to get all the approvals and permissions"). As you can see, not that many models, especially considering that some (like the ever popular VAZ-2101, VAZ-21011 and VAZ-21013) were essentially the same model with different engine options or trim levels. In addition, they were not that much different, like 1.2L or 1.3L engine variations.

Moskvich cars were much lower priced than other cars of the USSR, so they were affordable to many who wouldn't have even been able to get a Lada, and it was planned that way. Moskvich made affordable cars, Lada was the mid range, and Volga was the top tier. There were niche market cars, like the limousines that high ranking party officials used, but you couldn't buy those as a member of the public. Even if they were available to the public, the price would have been so high, that you wouldn't have been able to afford one on a workers pay. They were the Rolls Royces and Bentleys of the USSR.

They were jealous of the wealth and privilege of the Czar, and wanted it for themselves. They never lived in poverty after the revolution. Stalin had apartments and summer homes all over the USSR, and the best hotels would all have a suite for him that was never rented out to anyone else, just in case he decided to come to town without a formal announcement of his visit. Communism and Socialism are a scam, designed to channel resources away from the people to the ruling class, while making the people think they are the beneficiaries of their policies.

As somebody who was lived in USSR it is nice to see someone from forign country to have interest about our past and culture. Basic knowledge in this video was correct but I think I should comment some points. The thing is: despite new car with purchase licence via workers union might took really 7-10 years like You said there was many other options as well - and not only corrupted way what You mentioned. 1) used car - both private persons and state owned companies was able to sell their used cars and privat persons typically could buy them freely. 2) all new cars did not required licence for buying - small car zaz was most times available without any restriction, also during 80s there was the same case with other manufacturer Moschvich. 3) there was huge amount of cars what was owened by state owned companies but in reality nobody was banned their usage for private purposes - all kind of micro buses, light trucks, taxies etc. 4) people who had relatives in west or personal access to there (like ship stuff) had possibility to import western car, they was not banned in USSR, just complicated to keep alive without proper servicing. So.. despite there was some limiatations - it was actually like 50% easier to use or own car in USSR than this video points out :)

The plumber was going to come the same morning 10 years in the future as the car (not the following day). I got confused because it sounded like the plumber was going to come the following day and the car was going to come in 10 years.

This makes it the most practical option for a country that had Just gotten out of feudalism 50 years before, and industrialized only 10-20 years after that. It's easy to look at it as bad from a vantage in the US but for the soviets to even be making these by the mid 20th century is a testament to the strengths of a communist government(not that there aren't a good few weaknesses too.)

The main problem with both these cars was their electrical components. They were so unreliable with tons of different bugs and gremlins, it was really impossible to fix them once and for all. Ignition often refused to work especially in the rainy day, so I used to leave them where they stopped and took a taxi to get where I needed, then came next day and engine just started easily like nothing had happened

My grand-dad finally got a permit to purchase a car after many years of waiting. When he was finally allowed to go get his car from the car lot, it was sitting in the middle, blocked behind all kinds of broken or extremely old cars. He was told he can wait few months or get one of the broken ones right now, spending the permit. This was a hint to get the cash out and start paying the local guys. After a small fortune and few bottles of vodka changed hands, the blocking cars were moved out of the way, only to reveal "his" car didn't have wheels. "All yours" they said. Some time and quite a lot of cash later, he was driving his very own car. He kept that car for more than 25 years, maintaining it by himself. Then, after immigrating to Israel, he had the choice of either owning a car or receiving state "pension". Can't have both, they said. If you own a car, you're doing well enough to get by on your own. So he had to avoid owing one. Governmental laws are shit. Stay away from socialism, kids!

A revolutionary "council" was an assembly of workers or peasants purporting to represent their local community/city/region and deciding on policies within it. Kind of like legislative and executive power all rolled into one (and rarely elected in today's sense, of course). In early days of the revolution, these councils were the ruling power. Hence the expression "Vlast' sovietov" i. e. "rule of councils". A bad idea, of course - legislature and execution should be separated to avoid corruption of the former by the latter.

My father had an m21 when we were living in Italy. 2.3 in-line engine correct, I remember distinctly that it sounded like a tractor when turned on, had flat "bench" in the front that could be laid down and would allow an adult to sleep comfortably by resting the head on the rear "bench" and straighten the legs on the flat front one. It had a hydraulic Shifter pump and this was eventually what made it unusable because the pump's support bracket broke and my father couldn't fix it to the chassis anymore and couldn't find replacements. We became homeless in 2006 and parked the car across a river on the road while we slept in an abandoned trailer we found across that river in a field. One morning some hunters were shooting in the area and we were woken up by projectiles flying over and into the trailer, luckily we didn't get hit. Maybe they didn't know someone was living there. My father said they were doing it on purpose to have fun and scare us but who knows maybe they genuinely didn't know someone was in there. When we went to the car to go to the village and buy some food, as the car was stuck in 1st gear due to the pump being unusable, we saw several shotgun pellet holes in the right side of the car. Maybe the hunters thought was an abandoned car, and you already know what my father thought. Malicious acts. The projectiles didn't penetrate to the other side and to this day when you open the right hand side doors you can hear the pellets tumbling around on the inside of the doors. Before all this, many years before we were traveling through Slovakia and we stopped for a break, but the car wouldn't start back up. The starter was low on juice. So my father took from the back a lever, inserted it into the front grill(you'll see a small recess on the front chrome bumper and a hole when looking at the car from the front), climbed with his feet on the lever and cranked the engine that way. We went along our way just fine after that. It had blue sort of wool interior, the material was similar to those stuffed animals from the soviet Era that had metal wires in them to help them maintain their shape. It's synthetic and coarse, people from eastern europe would know what I'm talking about. The cigarette lighter worked and the radio had all letters in Cyrillic and we couldn't really tell what they meant although my father was forced to learn Russian during the 70s he could at least tell which one was volume, on and off and which one was the heater. The horn was actuated by a chrome ring running on the inside of the steering wheel bolted to the center and could be pressed wherever your hands were on the steering wheel. They were miserable times but this car was very unique and interesting to me.

I'm not sure where the reliability myth started from but it wasn't from people who owned them. My 1st 20 years were spent in Soviet Union and my family owned one of those copied Fiat's, namely VAZ-2101 or Lada 01 as we knew them. When temperatures fell below 0 C, our apartment backyard was filled with whining from starterengines as the drivers tried to get their cars started in the morning. Some just didn't dive at winter. And VAZ's(idk why but we called them Lada's like in the west) were the good ones, Moskvitš was the bad one. Suspension was indeed tough but the spring coils went soft overtime, so they were filled with rubberballs. IF you had spring coils, leaf springs were a real thing for other cars like the Moskvitš or Zaporozhets . Ignition plugs would constantly get wet or suddy and needed re-calibrating, clutch disks wore out way too fast. And the cars rusted everywhere, good thing they were made of thick steel. Cars were incredibly simplified to bring reliability up, but they were still bad. They were very easy to repair, that part the video got right. And parts were widely available. Also they were rear-wheel drive, which made them fun during winter, like dirt-poor version of BMW. My father allowed me behind wheel when I was 11, can't have that anymore either :)

Your vehicular problems remind me of a Polish friend of mine. So he decides to buy his first washing machine, and his father says a certain model is absolutely the best. He gets the thing home, and three days later it throws a belt. "Why did you recommend this boat anchor?!?" He snaps. "It may break every other load, but it's very easy to fix." I think that was the idea behind the Lada. Still, Soviet cars are rare and special here in the US. I saw a... Pobeda, I think it was called? for sale here for over $5000, quite a bit in the Midwestern states. .

"Gnyotsya, ne lamiotsya" - it bends, but it won't break. We used this saying in the context of Soviet products. Some of them really were tough and functional (those less complicated like kitchen pots), but the quality of majority of products based only on the ease of fix and low cost of maintenance, they broke very frequently. Washing mahines in Poland of that time gad only one weak point: an electromechanical programmer device. It was a drum revolved by a synchronous motor in 1 rev/hour speed, that turned on/off the mechanical contacts placed on a perimeter of the drum. It was wearable and a horror to fix (if it was possible), in case of replacement need, this part was not so easy to find and buy.

Ladas were very popular in Canada during the 1980s, especially in the province of Quebec. They were the cheapest cars available at the time, were assembled in the Maritimes, and worked reasonably well once you've resolved its electrical issues under warranty. I'm curious to see if the rumours that they might be coming back to Canada turn out to be true. With the heavy competition from Japan, Europe and South Korea, I suspect they make much better cars today and could find a new audience.
@SurprisinglyDeep2 жыл бұрын
I agree. Also there's apparently a huge market in Quebec for "winter cars". Like apparently some people in Quebec have a different car/truck/SUV that they use for winter instead of the vehicle they use during ths rest of the year. The "winter car" endures the snow and the salt on the roads so that the other vehicle the person owns doesn't have to. A Lada SUV could be a great winter vehicle. Also I think that's why Mitsubishi's North American offices are headquartered in Quebec City. Mitsubishi offers their cars for less than other car companies that sell in Canada (I don't think they're as good as other car companies cars though) which probably makes Mitsubishi vehicles good "winter cars" and probably leads to Mitsubishi regularly selling lots of automobiles in Quebec.

My dad had a VAZ 2106 in the 80s, I still love that car (actually thinking about getting one). Yes it is true, Soviet cars technologically wore pretty far behind Western auto industry, and getting them in USSR was a challenge (my father got his with out waiting because he purchased it on his father's name, my grandfather was many times awarded veteran of world war 2, so he had privileges, like purchasing a car with out waiting). But there is one thing that many people miss about those days, and that was valuing what you had, many people in the West will probably think it's a bit strange, but if you purchased a car in USSR, you felt like you wore on top of the world, and that went for many other things too. Today we went to far in the opposite direction, enormous overproduction, and as a result very little sense of value in anything.
