For well over 50 years, the Lada has been ruling the streets of Moscow! By ruling, we mean plying. Yes, the Lada was considered the standard car for a man or woman living in the former Soviet Union.

The Lada’s birth came about when the first Russian manufacturer, AVTOVAZ (Formerly VAZ), was formed back in 1966 in Togliatti. AVTOVAZ was a collaboration between Fiat and Soviet Vneshtorg (Department of Foreign Trade). Their objective was to produce cars in the Soviet Union.
