Farmer's market, Chisinau, Moldova. November 2008. Many of the vendors would come to this market from the breakaway region of Transnistria to sell their produce.

This was our first family car, passed on to me later on. I think a 1978 model, 1.200cc and 65hp (in its heyday). You had to follow a special ritual to turn on the engine (press the throttle pedal a couple of times and pull the choke whilst turning the key). I was driving it for two years with its engine gaskets being completely burned out. Great car 🙂

Forever unfinished. With the dissolution of the Soviet Union in December 1991, these centrally planned and budgeted projects in the Soviet Republics came to a sudden halt.

My wife's family had one. When I first rode in it on highway it seemed that wheels/tires were not well connected to the rest of the car.

We were driving all over Greece with it and I have good memories of it. At some point it had to be recalled to install seat belts on the rear seats. Our car mechanic loved it - anything could be fixed with a hammer and a screwdriver. On the Motor way it would reach 80km/hour safely - past that it was becoming slightly dodgy.

Very nice shot, Pan!

This must be one of my lasts; I'll do some research to find more.

Some time ago I saw another of your pictures, portrait format, a child on the bottom left of the frame, possibly sitting on a electricity pole (not the one you have posted already) - I can't remember that details as I cannot find it any more. I believe it must have been from the same series.
