 Business Scene; New Russian Car: Pretty Good Deal - New York Times
Zhigulis, similar in appearance to Fiats, account for more than half the nearly 700,000 new cars sold annually in the former Soviet Union.
It does this by requiring dealers to sell new cars only to people with coupons that they have obtained from an employer, a trade union or by putting their names on a waiting list, as Mr.
The coupon entitled him to buy a new Zhiguli 2106 from a dealer at a fixed price, one that is almost always much lower than a new car's immediate resale value.

Mr Simachev fitted out the waiters at the Zhiguli beer bar with their T-shirts while the cleaners wear housecoats and headscarves, evoking memories of the Soviet babushka.
Zhiguli, named after the Soviet Union’s cheapest beer, was one of the most popular bars in the 1980s, a place where non-party youth could drink, as long as they could afford a five-rouble entrance bribe to the bouncer.
A decade after the collapse of communism, the Russians are yearning nostalgically for the foibles and frustration, the slogans and stupidities of a system that was built on fear, ran on hypocrisy and fell apart amid cynicism and ridicule.

 Notes From Hairenik: An Armenian Blog About Life in the Homeland
There were quite a few Nivas there that day, as well as the usual Volga models 2400, 2410, and 3100, Lada Zhiguli models 2101-2107, Lada Samara hatchback and sedan models, old Opel, BMW, and Mercedes models, and so forth.
The Zhiguli is perhaps the most basic, but practical automobile ever made to date.
In fact, a picture of the Zhiguli should visualize the definition of “car” in the Merriam-Webster’s or American Heritage English dictionaries—it is the most perfect example of an ordinary car I have ever seen.

 Der Beseylem, by Ber Halpern, Translated into English
The Zhiguli sedan sliced [through] the air, the tires whirred along the pavement (*2).
But, among these few was the one who'd initiated (*6) a whole chain of generations, from which even HE -- Itsik Surits -- is descended, [he] who is presently sitting at the "bagel" (steering wheel) of his Zhiguli and turning it carefully, this way and that, in order to avoid a pot-hole or a bump.
The wet gravel grinds under the wheels, and sometimes it seems to Surits that it is not HE that is sitting here in the nice new Zhiguli, but rather it is his GRANDFATHER, Khone-Ber the "balegola" (coachman), who is riding along in his beat-up old wagon with his old nag.

 Avtovaz Joint Stock Company Business Information, Profile, and History
The VAZ-2106, referred to as the "Six," was introduced in 1976 as a modernized version of the luxury 2103 Zhiguli.
In 1979 the classic Zhiguli was updated with the introduction of the VAZ-2105 model, followed by the VAZ-2107 rear-wheel drive sedan in 1982 and the VAZ-2104, an updated version of the hatchback model, in 1984.
Avtovaz was a very profitable enterprise, since the Zhiguli was practically the only car available to the average Soviet citizen.

The killer escaped in a Russian-made Zhiguli, which was found a few minutes later on a residential street.
The killer set the getaway car on fire to cover his tracks, and no one has been arrested in connection with this murder.
The price of a new Zhiguli Model 10 (product of AvtoVAZ) is $10,500; however it will likely need much more maintenance than a ’98 Camry.

 News from the Republic of Letters
A small Zhiguli police car was parked nearby, bestowing the air of security on the block.
I don’t know where the name Zhiguli comes from, whether it’s a play on the Italian gigolo, and whether the car is a copy of a Fiat, but there is definitely a second-hand air even in a new Zhiguli, and the cops looked a little second-hand and disinterested.
First a small car stopped, and a mustachioed man stepped out and insisted that all of us, luggage and passengers, could fit, and was mightily offended when I said we could not fit.

 Autosoviet: LADA (Part 2)
In fact, since the introduction of the first Lada model (the "Zhiguli/124") in the 1970, the Russian engineers started with the projects of new cars (never entered in production for several reasons).
The "Zhiguli" Wankel had the same coachwork of the normal version, but under the cowl there was an electronic section very advanced for the period: a processor analyzes the data of the accelerator position and of the rotor's speed, and with these data it regulates the ignition.
This car features, differently from the "Samara" and the "110", the same mechanical part of the old "Zhiguli", with the longitudinal 1700 cc.

According to the newspaper, the blast took place at the precise moment that Kostoev’s jeep was passing the VAZ-2109.
The jeep flew into the Zhiguli, the [collision] was very strong, the gas tank caught fire and both cars blew up,” Ingushetian Interior Ministry press secretary Nazir Yevloev told the newspaper, adding that the passengers in both cars died immediately.
According to Kommersant, virtually nothing remained of the VAZ-2109 that contained the explosives or the Zhiguli that was hit by Kostoev’s jeep.
