Well, thank God, the AvtoVAZ problem seems to have been solved. The Ministry of Industry and Trade found a way out. A special economic zone will be created in Togliatti, where the auto giant’s employees will be employed to produce other products instead of cars. Namely, “full-cycle toys made of plastic.” As well as bicycles, children's construction sets, educational games and - most importantly! – children's toy cars. I had one like this as a child. A pedal car - however, with the Moskvich emblem. The AZLK plant, by the way, has already given up the ghost. And to prevent the same thing from happening to AvtoVAZ, it’s time for it to start making pedal and electric Zhiguli cars and Rubik’s cubes.
The state was faced with a Zugzwang choice between continuing to produce killer cars - Lad, Prior, Kalin, Samar - and a social explosion if the production of said scrap metal was stopped. And the solution was so simple and obvious. Conversion! Full cycle toys!
