Russian President Vladimir Putin tested the new Volga car model at a factory that was legendary and European. The test was carried out personally by the president, who guarantees that the new vehicle is very easy to drive.
Volga is a historic brand of Soviet automobiles that is being relaunched by Russia. The new model is being produced at a former European factory, in an attempt to revitalize the Russian automobile industry after the departure of several Western brands from the country.
Putin stated during the test that the car is comfortable and affordable, demonstrating the Russian government's support for this project to replace Western brands that abandoned the Russian market in recent years.
This relaunch is part of a broader strategy by Russia to develop an independent national automobile industry, reducing dependence on foreign manufacturers who suspended their operations in the country.
