An old USSR's car.

Russian cars are not often seen in Ukraine. Mostly, they are old Soviet Ladas or Volgas. Ronald Reagan told an amusing story about Soviet cars. There is just one detail in this anecdote that does not reflect reality: the money for the car had to be paid at the time of purchase, not in advance. I never managed to buy a car in the USSR. By the time I was third or fourth in line, the Soviet Union had collapsed. So, I bought my first car at a second-hand car market in Poland.
