From the Russo-Balts of the last decades of the Russian Empire to the Moskvichs and Zhiguli of the late Soviet years, from a car as a luxury item to an expensive, but still affordable and necessary purchase - the book by Sergei Kanunnikov tells the history of cars and motorization in Russia and the USSR. What tricks did car enthusiasts resort to in conditions of constant shortages? How did owning a car affect behavior and psychology? How were the problems of the entire country reflected in the problems of the industry?

This book examines in detail all the stages of Russian and Soviet automobile history - and, of course, the brands of cars that everyone knew: from the experimental NAMI-1 and elite ZIM to the democratic Zaporozhets and revolutionary Zhiguli.

Sergei Kanunnikov is a journalist, an employee of the magazine "Behind the Wheel", a specialist in the history of the automotive industry.
