When everyone has a car, it means you can’t get anywhere without one. Instead of freeing you, the car becomes a cage.

տեսեք է, Թբիլիսիյում դեռ սովետի ժամանակ որտեղից էլ ճարել են սենց ավտո էին քշում։ Բա էն դեղին շորիկով աղջիկը որ լրիվ սովետից չէ։ Թբիլիսցիները միշտ սծիլնի էին, վերջն են։
Look, even during Soviet era Tbilisians managed to find such a stylish car. And that girl in a red dress - she does not look like soviet girl, they did not have anything colourful to wear. Tbilisians were always stylish, always different.
Գիտեք, Թբիլիսիի սլոգալը՝ Թբիլիսի լավզ յու, իսկ քանի որ անպատասխան սէր չի լինում, ես էլ եմ սիրում Թբիլիսին, այն անհնար է չսիրել։
If you don’t know, the slogan of Tbilisi is “Tbilisi loves you”. And because there is no unrequited love, I love Tbilisi in return. It is just impossible to not love it.

I know how crappy car is this. And god knows why, probably because it’s a relatively cheap SUV like car, it’s very popular in Armenia. Of course everybody hack and tune it. Nobody can use it out of the box, it’s just unusable then.
And even by knowing how bad is this car, I noticed that I want it by looking on these posters. May be because orange nivas look better.
Other posters here: http://www.adme.ru/kreativnyj-obzor/sovetskaya-reklama-za-rubezhom-462255/ Besides I own Zenit cameras, Zorki, Smena, used em a lot. Zenit is one of the crappiest SLR’s ever made. Even if we don’t take into considerations that most of them were cheap ripoffs. With the inferior quality to originals.
What’s interesting in these posters is that they suggest to manufacture nivas yourself. Probably they wanted to license it. However, I am not surprised that nobody wanted to produce nivas. (: And what a cynicism, they were stealing so many technologies from others, but wanted to license nivas. At least you have something to license. Something original. Which is always inferior anyway.
Also it has no real improvement since then. if we read about mitsubishi pajeros we notice how engineers do improve them. but not niva, it’s so anachronistic that is almost a relic.
