The Minister of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov said that in the Russian Federation they plan to revive the production of Volga and Pobeda cars that existed during Soviet times.

“Colleagues have plans to revive, for example, one of the Volga or Pobeda brands. Or both,” he said.

At the same time, Manturov said that this project could be implemented at different sites, but did not specify the possible dates for the start of production.

The GAZ-M-20 Pobeda was produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant (GAZ) from 1946 to 1958. In total, more than 240 thousand cars were produced under this brand.

Cars under the Volga brand have been produced at the Gorky Automobile Plant since 1956 (GAZ-21, GAZ-24, GAZ-3102, GAZ-3110).

After the collapse of the USSR, GAZ tried to create new Volga. For example, in 2008, the production of Volga Siber began. However, the car was not popular. In 2010, its production was curtailed, and the plant in Nizhny Novgorod focused on the production of commercial vehicles.

But already on May 16, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said that the production of the Moskvich car would be resumed. They will be assembled on the basis of the former Renault plant, which became the property of the Russian Federation.

The signed agreements provide for the transfer of Renault-Russia shares to the city of Moscow, AvtoVAZ shares to the state represented by FSUE NAMI, subordinated to the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Russia, writes Economic truth.

• 67,69% of the shares of the AvtoVAZ auto concern become the property of the Russian Federation represented by FSUE NAMI.
• the remaining shares of the AvtoVAZ auto concern will be retained by the Rostec DC.
