After the simplified “Grant”, Togliatti resumes production of “Niva”, and then – and “Largus”. The plan is quite ambitious given the circumstances, but will they be able to put it into practice?

So according to them, the police recorded only 2,380 car thefts in the first four months of the year, which is 20% less than in January-April last year. Sure, but that’s hard to believe. After all, a month ago, the ministry published completely different data…
