Thank you Erik, I am back to normal now.
These are the Ikarus trams and bus in your pictures. They were made in Hungary and they were used in all communist countries - they were cheap and easy to maintain. The bus versions of them were so noisy inside the cabin made it impossible to have any discussions without shouting.
Greece had only Ikarus buses for public transport in the 80s and early 90s.

We call this type of buses "trolleybus". They have like a tram an electric motor. Not very noisy, but in Belarus they are extremely cold.
