Passenger Cars. The Complete History

The book by British car enthusiast Andy Thompson presents the complete history of the Soviet automotive industry.

A story of a closed state industry, driven not by fluctuating consumer demand, but by planned policies and carefully thought-out ideas from the ministries.

The author provides a detailed account of the history of all brands of Soviet passenger cars and minibuses, discussing the circumstances of their emergence, how they were improved, and their fate in the post-Soviet period. The material is effectively complemented by over a hundred magnificent color illustrations and rare photographs.
