Beat up, rolled over and set on fire as a symbolic message that Estonia doesn't or no longer wants to be part of the USSR:![[Image: villumoskvitch1.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch1.jpg) ![[Image: villumoskvitch2.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch2.jpg) ![[Image: villumoskvitch3.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch3.jpg) ![[Image: villumoskvitch4.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch4.jpg) ![[Image: villumoskvitch5.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch5.jpg) ![[Image: villumoskvitch6.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/villumoskvitch6.jpg) |

Today is really hard to find vehicle running on Soviet plates in Estonia... |

Yes, and it's very hard to find Soviet vehicles at all in Estonia, or any of the Baltics. I think many people are relieved by that, as the Baltics hated the occupation the most. Strange how you still see them in Ukraine, Belarus, Russia of course, but also the Central Asian republics (Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan) But in the former GDR, you don't see any of the two-stroke stuff anymore... |

Notning strange about Belarus, Ukraine, Caucasus and Asian republics - Russian government saved partnership with all of them. But, they couldn't make the same with Balics. Soviet cars were never hated in all these countries - too many years passed with them. It was no alternative for lots of people in post-soviet republics in 90's too - people couldn't buy used foreign vehicles cause they had no such money because of instability (in money and politics) in their independent countries. Somebody stayed with their Soviet cars not only because no-money situation - they just loved them. Easy to repair, easy to ride, easy to buy and to sell it. Details are cheap and quite common. |

Instead, people in the Baltics bought lots of US-only cars - like this US Camry spotted in Tallinn in 2002: http://www.fotokam.com/eesti/Tallinn/stadt050.jpg Also: http://eng.auto24.ee/used/335899 http://eng.auto24.ee/used/634994 and something I would have never, ever even dreamed of seeing even there: http://eng.auto24.ee/used/2031717 -- Last edit: 2017-03-19 10:16:07 |

Lots of foreign cars in ex-Soviet Baltic republics were imported from European and Scandinavian countries. US-spec cars were not so common as European... Also, some Baltics imported Soviet/Russian cars too (because of low prices, good condition (European-import as well), easy to find details...). Lithuania got them from Netherlands in most. Estonia and Latvia got them from Scandianavian countries in most. http://rus.auto24.ee/used/2472044 Also, Russian cars sold in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in 90's and 00's too. Especially Nivas. Samaras were offered too. Later came 110/111/112 and Kalinas. http://rus.auto24.ee/used/2355801 In early 90's few reexported Ladas used in Politsei... Link to "vk.com" |

Ive seen pretty much old Ladas in very good conditions in Latvia. |

Yes, and Ladas continued to be sold over here, however, only Ladas (Samara 2 excluded) and not VAZes. Currently they have the Taiga (Urban only, Taiga was originally the Austrian name for the Niva but now used in Germany too) Vesta, Granta Hatchback, Kalina Cross and Kalina hatchback. http://lada.de A Lada 111 was tested by Autobild for its durability in 2003-04, and at the end it "felt like it had three times as much miles on the odometer" -- Last edit: 2017-03-21 19:37:12 |
