Russians Can’t Afford A Russian Car (Chinese car) 

Thanks Olivier for the information! Really appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

@@SanctionedIvan Thanks Ivan! You are a good person and I really enjoy your videos. It's a shame for the Russian automobile industry because Renault had studied a specific car to meet the country's demand in terms of quality level and price. Renaults made in Russia were different from French Renaults.

The same thing went down with quite a few Western companies that left Russia. Russia is burning all their bridges, oh well

@@Gertieness No, it's the opposite. It’s Western companies that are cutting ties and I don’t think that’s good for Russia because soon there will be no more foreign investors for the country and that’s not good for the economy. Only China and North Korea will remain as Russia's partners.

The deal was that they sold it for 1 symbolic ruble but with the small print that they have the right to buy back all the assets in a period of 6 years for that same symbolic ruble. In the meantime the gov of Moscow make a deal with the Chinese JAC to use the factory to produce these cars. So that ¨6 years¨ deals says a lot... probably more than one VIP politician knows they plan to restore relations within 6 years after february 2022. We mortals never know how these guys play on our backs. All the info is online.

My granddad had a moskvich, I remember riding in it in the early 2000s, he sold it roughly around 2012, he had it for 40+ years, I remember from the back seat you could see the road from a hole in the floor, not only had it survived 40+ years but that was also in our small town in Ukraine where the roads were really atrocious, plus he was an on-call dentist that would drive out to people at odd hours - my point is it couldn't have been that bad of a car to have such survivability. He wasn't a mechanic or anything and never said it gave him much trouble, although he swore at the thing like no tomorrow. The only reason he got rid of it is because we all saved up to buy him a way nicer car from 21st century. My uncle had a similar car although maybe 10-15 years newer, which we would take to the black sea every summer - so based on my own experiences, i'm not doubting the roadworthiness of the old moskvich cars.

wow that is very cool!

Wow very cool too from me!!@@SanctionedIvan

What did you ask him ?

I would never buy one of those , even at Chinese payment. They want way way way too much in your country. Ivan Ivan Ivan !! Insanity has come to town

God prefers Russia : we have cars, they have place for parking.

Try to visualize three years salary to buy a Chinese car. Just WOW. I feel for the Russian people.

Well in Romania it's about the same and we're now part of the western world. With a medium monthly salary of 500€.

@@mihnealazar7039 But you guys gave the world Nadia Comaneci. But its changing here too, everything is more expensive. Seeing the prices explains why I love Russian athletes, and Romania before they joined the west. The athletes are awesome because they have no other choice. Here there is still a way out from low wages if you did not become an Olympic star. It's all corruption.

@@mihnealazar7039 I'm sure the interest rates are much lower in Romania though. And you have easy access to used car market in Europe. But nice try at whatabouthism! (Not really.)

Lololol yeah, I’d say it’s to prevent the workers to run away ahahaha

Verrry Niiice.

Prevent anything too big from being stolen

He's inside the fence of a property adjacent to the Moskvitch plant.

Reagan joke 😂

This is an old joke...I heard the same joke about a guy who found a chit in an old jacket from a Jewish tailor shop.

@@user-fo5qx7xb7s Reagan cited it as one of the jokes he picked up from the Russian people. Told it in that collection a number of times

Joke was told 50 years ago …. Or search : Ronald Reagan Sovjet Jokes .

Yes and not only that Ivan went to school in Ireland 🇮🇪 and his mum is French and his dad is Spanish and his cats are German and his girlfriend is from Poland 🇵🇱 and he is moving to Greece 🇬🇷 and going to open a shop there selling goods from Portugal 🇵🇹

They stole every intellectual property 😤

​@@TheSpyder699窃取啥知识产权你要不问问那些企业？你不会说是西方企业未来知识产权吧😂

@@TheSpyder699 sure all Western cars are original, and don't copy others

I counted 28 employees, may have counted some twice. Saw a few in car door reflection and counted those.

Bakilov Live has that wrapped up !

He nose how to defeat nazi Germany! Thanks to him.

Big honkers are not to be sniffed at

Stalin - real name Dzhugashvili. Just another criminal nickname, as well as Lenin- Ulianov. None of those two bruts sign any do kill orders by their real name.

Very disrespectful if it wasn’t for the Russians army we would have lost ww2 GERMANY would have succeeded and the world would be a different life under GERMAN leadership.

He Couldn't see a nose without getting up it

ahahah thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@SanctionedIvan 🤣Love you Ivan! ❤️❤️❤️❣️

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

That is a genius idea for the channel doing Russian history , I loved it and you should do many more , it was perfectly narrated IN ENGLISH and people around the globe have a new education and video like this wll make you go viral ! Did you know US exports car parts to China and there is a good chance some of the parts from China might be American ( the good parts ! lol ) Peace@@SanctionedIvan

Did you know my hubby worked at the same automotive parts factory for 43 years. Sure it sold out a few times. Well Obama DID TO STOP JOBS FROM LEAVING THIS COUNTRY. He also passed a law to stop monopoly garbage out of companies, like that At&t been pulling now since Trump got in and undone all that Obama passed to stop corporate abuses. So what happened after not rich Trump got in and undone those protections which explains why Trump has filed bankruptcy 10 times and a failure, by running into the ground all his dad and grandpas work. Jobs started going to Mexico so that factory had less jobs. Less pay and no benefits for workers in Mexico and buy new machines for down there because old ones was about beyond repair at old factory. Ok what happened next, two Chinese men came here for a year to see how the rest of the automotive jobs worked. So company rented a building over there and new machines bought and those two men ran it. That's what Trump did, lost millions of jobs here. So factory went from 400 tops working there and most times 350 with 3 shifts to only 80 people working and 18 months ago doors was closed. Biden has to brought millions of jobs to this country and stock market been some thing else, the dow and all. If we get Trump in again, it will be just like Putins Russia within one year of that jackass in.

Excellent presentation Ivan. Shows clearly average person’s aspirations in Moscow cannot be met. BUT what of the vast countryside

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Years ago they tried to sell it in South Africa. Maybe because we are a developing country, what we got was absolute junk and had no facilities to service them.

@@debrutomeyer9117 There isn't much to service, a child could work on a Lada

@@Thelostgoldhunters possibly, if there were the parts available

no rust...here in germany these cars have rustr after 3 years. and the are not comftable and need a lot of fuel. as you have no torque converter and a gasolina engine with less torqque......the niva is very limited.

To be fair, where in the US can you find a job for minimum wage? Middle of nowhere here and starting wage is 15 an hour

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the video!

@@SanctionedIvan You have improved so much over the time I have been watching you. You have turned into a real professional.

Thanks!

yes exactly this is what I'm talking about. This supposed Russian car is just a very cheap Chinese car sold for very expensive in Russia

China is selling for the same price. Kremlin is marking it up and sticking it to the people.

@@SanctionedIvan have to consider the price of the famous Moskvitch brand, the emblem the logo, the prestige, and the precision assembly done in Moscow. Don't be fooled, these are 2 very different typs of cars. Cruise around in a JAC and the girls roll their eyes, a Moskvitch gets you street cred. You may be loved by all the local tow truck drivers.

Russian Girls are an important consideration

Question is who are they you meant?😅

yes I would be afraid to be in an accident in one of those

I have Chines car since this summer (Geely ) and it scored 5 star on Euro NCAP test ,so no complains there ,and active safety is just great ,like active braking works perfectly ,safe me already maybe 10 times.My only complaint is that maybe is try to be to safe,like in corners it will slow down by its own on active cruise control ,i have also 2 BMW and they would never slow down

If u crash in one of those cars... U will look like a Chinese person, cheap plastic surgery.

Plus he's comparing used Cadillac escalade with compact cars.... of course, most cars would feel small & the starting price of Cadillac in US is like $82k, most would end up around $100k.... if he claimed that the chinese cars cost twice in russia compares to the chinese cars in china then I would guess that the same car would cost around $170-200k in russia if there's no sanction..... Plus most new 'sporty' cars won't have old "wooden" panels that he loves inside his car.... "wooden" panel is so 2000s..... with the way inflation is in the last 4-5 years, even the same japanese cars comparable to the chinese cars (in term of amenities) would cost extra 20-25% easily...... So it's definitely not apple and apple comparison......

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

oh you are talking about the niva and the uaz I'm guessing

Yes I remember you went to a military museum and you glaced over some 4 wheel possibly 6 wheel drive vehicles, isn't the sherpa built there?

That was a off-road show or something

OK I believe you are right, but there are some capable 4 wheel drive vehicles you could maybe review

Good question! Its done so that they don't freeze to the windshield, also so that no ice condenses on the actual rubber side of the wiper

Yeah it’s very interesting, glad you enjoyed the vid!

Ford was in Soviet union 1930 Robert Robinson stayed he was ford engineer. I see that design in the old vechiles which im suprised Russia hasn't master there new ford design. Like F 150.

Yes most people do that because they want a new car to be under warranty

My thoughts exactly! Thank you very much for watching brother!

it is what dreams are made of, or is it nightmares? I forget.

@@KEVINBAKERREALESTATE Fortunately you can't buy them in Germany (also because of the embargo), also the chinese cars they are based on. 🙂

Wow thank you very much!
