Russian officials have decided by acclamation to drive Russian-made vehicles rather than luxury Western automobiles, according to a senior Russian lawmaker. “Everyone supports this decision,” State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said Friday.
“Everyone supports this decision,” State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said Friday. “We agreed that the deputies will use Moskvitch, Lada, Aurus cars.”Volodin and his deputies discovered their enthusiasm for parochial altruism in the auto manufacturing sector amid an ongoing exodus of auto companies, including Volkswagen, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, and Nissan.
Russian authorities are making the best of the Western exodus by regulating the sale price of the companies trying to wind down their operations. Putin touted his “buy Russian” requirement in a meeting with representatives from Russia’s manufacturing sector, according to state-run TASS, as Russian authorities seek to weather a storm of economic sanctions imposed by the United States and its allies in response to Russia's full-scale war in Ukraine.
Russian government purchases loom large in the domestic economy, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov acknowledged Thursday.
