Tchocky, maybe you mension Niva (VAZ 2121) - That's the true masterpiece of a country car. It's cheap and it can go anywhere at all no matter is there any road or it isn't

More modern version: Chevrolet Niva still the cheapest 4x4 but not quite as good money/quality ratio as it's predeсessor has

Best Regards

Niva is great fun to drive.

Another even more is the UAZ-469 that we had in the army, we used to race with them in the forest.

I recall ads we had in Canada (yup they sold Ladas) "How do you like your Lada? I like mine just fine." Hehe. Well I always thought not every Russian car would be crud, after all I always liked the T-34 and Il-2 and while far from fancy machinery they worked well and were durable.

Here are some photos from small town Sebezh (Себеж) in Pskov Region (North-western parts of Russia). I've lived there for two years in 80-s during my father's military service. These photos weren't taken by me - I wish they were but they are from an official site of the town and nereby Nature Park :

More to come

Ah Pskov,, beuatiful town and a church on every corner so it seemed.

I'll have to dig out a photo I took of a church, the Sky behind is black with cloud but the sun was reflecting nicely off the white church. almost holy like.
