Wow...some were cool (like a few trucks and Land Rover wannabes) and others were comical. I loved the BMW 320 kidney grille wired to the front of the East German Trabant....that was hilarious!
I guess the kids over there also love to bolt a stupid looking wing thingy on their cars, too. They seem to skip the big shiny wheels craze that plagues us over here.
Very entertaining...glad to see no older Volvos were bastardized in their attempts. It does appear that a few Alphas got chopped and modded.

Some were very cool.

I didn't know they had an Earl Scheib Auto Body/Paint store over there. The 5th one down (the one with the red stripes on the trunk and red wing with turquoise body) is the same blue Earl store painted my 63 VW bug just before I sold it in the early 70s. 
Before they were worth a lot of money.

I wonder if "Быстрые и злющие 4: Советская Мышца" will still be starring Paul Walker... I hate that guy...
... maybe Vin Diesel will make a return!!
Hooray for Yugo!!!

Who decided Paul Walker and Vin Diesel could act?
Probably the same people that thought Steven Segal and Keanu Reeves could act.
Give me a break!
