Watching the cars of this movie, I'm getting the question in my mind: was there any foreign made car visible in USSR-movies, filmed in the USSR, before 1989/90? I've heard, that it was officially impossible to import cars to the Soviet Union (which means, that a few Nomenklatura-members could arrange it anyways). |

It was possible, but impossible high taxes to pay, so nearly nobody did. |

Yes, they were foreign cars, but... From eastern Europe was only utility cars - from Poland most of them was Star, Nysa and Żuk, from Czechoslovakia trucks and limousines Tatra and trolleybuses Skoda, from Hungary buses Ikarus. From behind "iron curtain" - only cars for nomenclature (limousines and sedans), some for police, even from USA, but most of them are only in big cities, like Moscow or Leningrad. |

I remember some Soviet film from the 1980's where main character (indeed some VIP) owned a Renault Fuego with talking board computer. |
