Soviet Bloc vehicles

A considerable part of the USSR automobile industry consisted of vehicles from the socialist countries, that were members of the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance starting from 1949.

Czechoslovak Jawa motorcycles were the most prestigious in the Soviet Union, Hungarian Ikarus buses were actively used in passenger transportation, Polish Nysa minibuses and vans for a long time made up for the shortage of similar products from the Riga bus factory. At the same time, Nysa engine was actually a copy of the GAZ-M20 "Pobeda" engine, which was originally produced for Warsawa cars, "Pobeda's" twin model.
