The village of Tatar Saiman in central Russia used to be a collective farm in the Soviet days. Since the breakup, however, all the old equipment was stripped down and residents have used it to make their own cars.









So cool! Innovation is alive and well in this village, especially liked the truck the old man had, that had to be started manually, (with a crank), Russian Rat Rods! Those old Soviet grain trucks prolly get better mileage than some of the new non-commercial trucks for sale now! (being roughly the same size and ?two stroke?) And you can work on them easily, which is more than what can be said for more modern vehicles, too bad vehicles today are not made as durable and serviceable as they once were.
