Lol. This is actually probably one of those purchased in the late '70s. Now tell me honestly (I'm not a patriot of Russia, but still interesting) - it really in the USA, Germany, etc. sincerely believe that everything that the Soviet Union/Russia could buy - it is only second-hand old junk? |

The colour sheme is exactly that of the West German Red Cross. In other countries and for other emergency services it was and still is different. P.S. Back then it was much more difficult to export used cars to the Soviet Union an other COMECON countries. btw.: it was also more difficult and more expensive in Western Europe in pre-Schengen-times, but not that nearly impossible as to the COMECON. -- Last edit: 2016-02-19 22:21:55 |

The fact of the matter is that in the Soviet Union the imported on-duty cars (especially ambulances) does not always repainted (I do not know exactly why). I have even seen in the early 80s militsiya (police) Opel and Mercedes cars in the original Germany white-green Polizei color. |

Really? The legendary Militsiya-BMW and -Benzes of the 70ies got the local colours: Link to "www.2048px.life" Link to "byggsatser.brommahobby.com" Link to "scontent.cdninstagram.com" http://www.militarists.ru/wp-content/uploads/inomarka_in_ussr-01.jpg |

You're right - I was only looking at the thumb's thumb. Now it's not so funny any more. |

Accidentally I've just found a specific website about Lada in DDR-Polizei-usage: http://www.polizeilada.de/html/body_landespolizei.html The police in East Germany has no vehicles from COMECON-times in usage any more, but the fire fighters do. And the Feuerwehr hasn't to repaint the vehicles in the actual colour shemes, so several volounteer fire brigades in the East German countryside still have COMECON-cast iron in the original style in their fleets. The pics here: Link to "fotoarchiv-kunkel.startbilder.de" show also retired Feuerwehr-trucks, but some of them are still in use. P.S. On the polizeilada-page there is a photo of Ladas and Barkas with the text "vor der Verladung nach Litauen", so Lithuania got used DDR-police cars.

This is rather with red, because of the "Notarzt" (emergency doctor) sign on the roof. |

About Senator A I'm not sure, but Senator B were used for many years as civil camera-cars bei the Autobahn-police. |

Interesting... But I really don't know why they needed it. Ex-Soviet Republic, all in all - they had their own Ex-Militia Ladas. P.S. I know that Albania got Ex-DDR Fire Emergency IFA's (Maybe some other Ex-Emergency DDR transport). Bulgaria bought Ex-DDR Volkspolizei motorcycles in 90's and used it in their Police. |

It can. But it's interesting, that it has the plate, which series was only for Militia. |
