Soviet car boom reshapes society and urban life
In a sweeping view of the coming auto era, the piece contrasts Western car abundance with the Soviet Union’s limited private car access. It notes planned auto production growth, new plants, and models like Zima and Volga, while detailing high prices, long waits, scarce service stations, and shifting housing needs as Moscow adjusts to more car ownership. The analysis cites Brezhnev and Kosygin, and discusses public transport versus private mobility under a five year plan.
