Yes, since the 1970s, this situation has progressed, becoming catastrophic by the 80s. But the problem is not that there was a shortage of talented designers in the Soviet Union.
Why spend money on developing the industry? Only when Soviet cars began to look frankly outdated did they change outwardly, often remaining technically almost at the same level.
But today you will get acquainted with unique prototypes of Soviet factories. Thanks to the channel "Mix Facts" and its author, who created such an interesting selection! You will have the opportunity to see what cars were created by Soviet design engineers!
If some of these cars went into series, eminent world magazines would excitedly tell the world about unique cars from the USSR!
