As Dmitry Vorona, member of the Federation Council Committee for Economic Policy, said in an interview with the Parliamentary Newspaper, the legendary “Zaporozhets” could well become a modern “people’s car”. To do this, it is necessary to restore the assembly plant: the Kommunar plant, as it was originally called, was built to produce cars, so a complete production chain was created around Zaporozhye to ensure local production, the senator recalled .

Vorona noted that production of Zaporozhets should take place in a full cycle to avoid problems with engines that Soviet engineers once experienced. He did not specify whether the car would be built on the basis of some Chinese model, or whether the car would be developed from scratch with the Soviet Zaporozhets in mind.
