Somehow I think this Russian VAZ-21059 (aka Lada 2105) got a small identity problem:
JDM or USSRDM VAZ-21059
Or could it be that it is actually a 21059 replica powered by a Mazda 12A or 13B?

Apparently not only the Japanese are tossing their cars into the trenches and leave them to rot: the Russians clearly are able to do just as great job as their Japanese neighbors:
Dumped Nissan Cedric Y31 in Russia

A damn shame: I would have given that car a great home! :(
While browsing some pictures of old JDM tin I found a topic on a Russian forum about old Japanese cars in Russia. One of its members owns this great white Carina GT-TR TA63 sedan:
White Russian Carina TA63 sedan
Somehow the wide Russian plate really makes it look more bad than the tinted windows! (???)
The Carina only travelled 162002 kilometers so far:
162002 km on the odometer
And according the owner the 3T-GTE engine is quite powerful. Of course, anything in such lightweight car feels powerful. ;)
Cruise computer, Aircon, autoreverse tapedeck, sunroof!
And the options just keep on going:
electric windows, electric mirrors, cruise computer, air conditioner, gidrach (?) power steering, electricity boards, sunroof, LSD, all disc brakes, the music on 5 speakers (4 + subwoofer), illumination of the driver’s seat and the ignition lock at night
If you are interested in the enormous amount of late 70s and early 80s JDM tin in Russia, see here:

Even though I don’t understand a word Russian, I do get the feeling I understood about 90% of what the guy said in this video about his Celica AA63:
From what I understand is the following:
Welcome to my garage. As you can see I also have a German Ford Taunus Mk III which is very very rusty. On the other side of my garage I have my Toyota Celica AA63 coupe. It features a 4AGE engine and GT seats. I stripped it completely bare because it is so rusty and I’m doing a full rebuild. To do so I needed an engine lift, which is in this corner, to remove the engine and transmission. That’s about as far as I got with my project.
Maybe it is because I’m getting used to watch and try to understand Japanese car videos or could it be that there is a universal language called video???
