At least our Russian friends are pragmatic - if the roads are not to be fixed - why not get people to drive over bad roads. Both ads for their 4x4 Urban and the Vista Cross emphasize the same point: If the roads are full of holes or are in bad condition, then driving a Lada get you off the hook (it also gets the ministry of transport off the hook as well). By the way - there several car ads on the roads these days, not sure why especially that this is the school month where parents have a lot to pay so not sure anyone is exactly able to afford thinking of cars.
