There were three passenger SUVs in the Soviet Union. These are VAZ-2121 Niva, UAZ and LuAZ. There was also a GAZ-69, but the assembly was eventually transferred to the Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant. Then on this chassis they developed the UAZ-469. Of all the Soviet off-road vehicles, only Niva and LuAZs could be purchased by ordinary people. The first were originally developed for the civilian market. The latter were not in special demand, and for the military there was a separate front-line all-terrain vehicle. But the Lutsk all-terrain vehicle, even in the USSR, was considered a "collective farm" technique. Rarely seen in the city.
But today the conversation will not be about serial SUVs of the Soviet period. There were interesting developments in the USSR on the LuAZ, VAZ-2121 and UAZ chassis. Some of these cars disappeared in the 90s. Something was dismantled for metal, some copies were secretly sold into the hands of collectors, possibly abroad. But there are cars that have survived to this day. They were restored and put on display in Patriot Park. You can see this technique with your own eyes. And if you can't come, no big deal. Thanks to the video of the Review Machines channel, you can learn about them without leaving your computer.
