A very unexpected topic for a video on soviet/russian cars. People outside the former USSR are usually just talk about Ladas or if they want to dig deeper - Moskvitches. And yet - here we are. A detailed look on something very few know about. Love it. Thanks to the forementioned Pig for shouting you out. Also, i find the lack of Volga 3111 in the video disturbing. That was truly the last grasp by Gaz at a modern Volga, and was produced in bigger numbers than 3105, and was kind of a cheaper smaller more avalible to the people. Yet, still costed the same as western counterparts
@IntergalacticBinman
Жыл бұрын
I didn't cover the 3111 because it was much more a do-over of previous gen volgas, with much of the floorpan sharing similar fundamentals from what I've been able to learn (although I'd be interested to be corrected!). I was more so trying to focus on the new developments being made, to emphasize the point that not *everything* in the USSR was a tarted-up 60s turd. On top of that, if I covered the 3111 I'd feel obligated to cover every single modernisation attempt of the old Volga platform which would've blown the video out of proportion; I did that once with the Rover video, and that took me (admittedly on-and-off) 3 months!

@@IntergalacticBinman no, actually it's other way around. Volga 3111 was an all original car at the design stage, but in order to get into production, some parts were "temporary" changed to the Volga 3110 one's (like, for example, rear suspension). But after the 3111 failure, some parts of 3111 were remade for 3110, thus making 31105 with new front suspension, based on the 3111.

Hello from Nizhny!You actually showed the true history of both GAZ and ZIL,however,you missed the modern part(2010s and 2020).Gaz is still operating and is making more cars(vans)now than ever In 1994,when GAZelle first launched,it was the main and the only vehicle to keep the factory alive.The main thing why did people buy them are cheapness and being able to work in all kind of conditions. It didn't have a good quality,but it was the only van in Russia in the 90s.Right now the quality stood up a lot(mainly due to Cummins engines).As for the ZiL,their trucks are still used,but as a farming tools.Since the only cars that they made were officials,they are still in a very good condition and considered as a retro-vehicle,like 60s Mustang in the US. As of a factory,it's dead and there's nothing left in it.Overall good video

A very well researched video, especially for someone who doesn't know Russian. A couple of remarks though: 1- You left out the GAZ 3111 Volga from the early 2000s, which failed for the same reason it's predecessors did: a good car that wasn't significantly cheaper than it's established competition in the executive car segment. 2- GAZ wasn't "robbed by Putin and the oligarchs" (a very oversimplified relationship btw). Its civilian plants and brand name were bought up by Oleg Deripaska's "Basic Element" industrial group, and is now the country's largest manufacturer of vans and pickup trucks, and the second largest manufacturer of buses and coaches. Last but not least, they went from an enterprise that relied on state funding to survive in the 1990s one that actually turns a profit (yes, even without it's military vehicles, which accounted for the bulk of its revenue in Soviet times).

I kind of laighed as you were prepping for the GAZ 3106...i was not ready and almost made an audible yell seeing thay first image. It actually gives me the legitimate creeps. I've never had such a negative physical reaction to a car design.

Just found this video and my hyperfixation on weird cars was piqued. I'd love to see a dive on the DDR's Rovomobil or Melkus RS1000 also from DDR. Or one from my home FSO Syrena Sport. ex-Warsaw Pact Sports car concepts are definitely a strange thing to witness. Also cool story on Ghost of Belgrade

The Volga V12 Coupe is probably my favorite custom car combining German engineering and Soviet era design. Love the retro spy look.

That's opposite way to make a concept - you'll get an oil-thirsty engine, barely making it's living between services (which, you'll be visiting *alot*, just to keep it running) inside a world's famous lemon. The *real hero* is the chzechen guy, who swapped 190E with a 1.5 8-valve from Lada Samara, making it *ethernal* (and cheaper to run, than the average washing machine of these days)

Just found this channel and honestly it's one of the funnier things on KZitem atm Great songs choices, actually funny, talking about cars. Honestly a hidden gem, with the editing style and the narration I'm very surprised you only have a small subscriber count P.S: Could you talk about Subaru and Mitsubishi in a video? Massive rallying legends with aircraft and tank manufacturing history, now reduced to making Crossovers that no-one wants? Would probably make an interesting video, and I'm sure it would be hilarious

Ataman was a truck cabin merged with 3110 Volga's front parts. I've seen a nice Ataman pick-up, rusted as hell, but cool and really powerful. Quite sad to know that black ZIL-4104 only exists as a cut front part (they literally destroyed it). Btw, if you need any help with ex-ussr cars, I know a lot of relatable sources, over the years I collected many good pictures etc.

In your end bit about multiple models, I WILL say that I wouldn't be surprised that the reason they tried several different vehicles in the same class at the same time, was because under the soviet military system, they would submit several and unlike the west where often none are approved and after a decade ONE is approved, the soviets would submit 3 and have 2 approved JUST in that ONE submission event ALONE. Or submit 5 and have 3 approved. I think it was this mentality living on.

Hi from Sydney, Australia. Your video appeared randomly as one that may potentially be of interest. AND yes it was. Thanks for your excellent presentation and visuals for what are now super rare cars. Well done. I loved the blunt magnitude of the two Zil prototypes. I'm now 67 yrs old and on 7th September this year have been driving for 41 years a "flat-pack" sent as kit 1974 Cadillac Talisman to be built in Sydney by General Motors Holden's as right hand drive. This was the most expensive , elaborate version of a Cadillac. Made for just 3 years Talisman offered massive luxury and were powered by an almost 8.3 litre V8 engine, the introductory 1974's like mine were the most elaborate. I bought mine from the first owner, Black in color with "italian tan" (mustard color) leather interior, it looks very "official" 6 metres long and 2 metres wide it does not blend into the environment with todays little cars.

GAZ & ZiL also did trucks, as well as ZiS. Most people will know the GAZ from War Thunder. Either the version with 4 maxim MGs, a single 25mm AA gun, or twin 25mm AA guns. Another War Thunder alumni is the YaG-10, which had 333 of them made between 1932 and 1940. Of these 333 units, 61 of them were converted in AA trucks. Mounting the 76mm air defense M1931, this was known as the 29K.

As Gaz-31029 owner say,pretty good and interesting for considering opinions about the Russian car industry not around lada's) As I read the history of the Volga, the gas engineers had enough ideas and solutions for them, but the soviet government simply did not allow "radically different" cars to be made.

@@RedBird7 pretty good old Soviet car, it middle between old classic volgas and more modern models. In fact 31029 it's 2410 and early 3102 but much cheaper and with very bad quality from factory. I like it, more comfortable and interesting than old ladas
