As a result of May, passenger car production in Russia decreased by 96.7% compared to the same period last year. Rosstat was unable to release more recent results in July. The drop figure does not indicate temporary difficulties, but the all-Russian shutdown of the industry.
Not everyone wanted modernization, and not equally strongly. Actually, I dreamed that everything would stay the same, just a little better. On the exit from the USSR, I clearly wanted jeans, sneakers and the Beryozka store for rubles instead of Vneshposyltorg checks. Still, new things appeared, which are particularly striking in the example of offices. In these buildings with a foreign name, a new category of people of unusual appearance began to appear – boys in ties, who tapped computer keyboards with fat fingers. Previously, the keyboard was associative only for women.
But the rest of the country remained unchanged. With broken asphalt, a general fence, a column instead of a water pipe and a gloomy man with a shovel, an ax or a sledgehammer. The man’s appearance turned out to be unshakable and timeless. And while holdings, leasing and other forms of erotic massage were featured in newspapers and televisions, the peasant unshakably personified the failure of the reformers who were starting a new country.
The foreigners who left the country took theirs and it turned out to be our car industry. It turned out that in the past decades we couldn’t do anything ourselves, mastered nothing, learned nothing and today we have not only the final assembly, but also the production of components.
But the gloomy man remained immovable. It turns out that we didn’t fit the farmer to the land, but the land to the farmer. We managed to leave everything as it was, which made it just a little bit better. And now they have returned to the usual, for the sake of which they held a shovel, an ax or a sledgehammer in the hands of a peasant.
And now, left without production facilities, without technologies, knowledge and prospects, we heard something not forgotten from above, uttered by the director of AVTOVAZ: “The main task is to maintain and maintain the professional team.” The job used to be to produce cars and now the job is to keep the man in his original form so that he has to come sometime at 6:00 am and usually hit a few bolts with a sledgehammer.
