As the head of the department, Denis Manturov, said in an interview with RIA Novosti, a “technological partner” for the revival of Volga will be identified in the near future:

— As far as I know, the Nizhny Novgorod car cluster should complete this work in the near future and, taking into account the planned plans, put the first assembled car on the market by the middle of next year. In the initial stages – with a technology partner and gradual subsequent localization,” the official noted.

This means that the Volga will be revived in the image and likeness of the Moskvich – that is, this or that foreign car will be turned into a “domestic” car by replacing the nameplates. Manturov did not say which of the Russian manufacturers will produce cars of the revived brand, but with a high probability it will be GAZ, which previously produced Volgas. In addition, the governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, previously reported that the production of cars under his own brand would return to the region – and that it would be a “domestic brand of Nizhny Novgorod.”
