Comments

VAZ 2105 (LADA) VFTS

Great list! But there is also the Tatra 603/613 in the list

Wartburg 313 is from GDR, not USSR.
And what about Syrena Sport ?

No Lada Niva, one of the coolest off roaders ever

The coolest they ever built is the Gaz Chaika 14. I love Soviet cars, they are so weird and fascinating.

Tatra 613 easily belongs there. 3.5 litre air cooled V8 in the rear, 200 bhp.
