Home » Economy » Lada restarts its production, but with ‘zero technology’ cars: this is what they would look like
A couple of months ago and in the midst of the crisis generated by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, it was announced that Lada would once again produce cars with the minimum of electronic components and older Euro II type engines. That is, in practical terms, how they were more than 20 years ago . It would be a strategy against the economic blockade that this nation suffers today against other powers.
Everything seems to indicate that this will be the case. This Wednesday, June 8, AvtoVAZ will restart production of its car line after Renault sold its shares from it to a subsidiary firm of the Russian government. Thus, it would have as a novelty an extremely simplified vehicle based on the subcompact Lada Grant .
This subcompact model, in force since 2011 and in sedan, station wagon and liftback versions, you will lose much of your electronic equipment (ABS, airbags, multimedia) and will have an engine from the ’90s, categorized with obsolete environmental standards. It is one of the most popular cars in Russia the same, without much technology available.
the russian portal Bikes true to his usual elaboration of ‘renders’, imagined how it could look the Lada Granta 2023 in its simplest version . According to the proposal, which could be very close to reality, these cars would have black plastic bumpers as well as other pieces in the same presentation (door handles, moldings and mirrors) and plate rims without cups .
About the interior there is not much to assume. Most obviously, it will have a primitive steering wheel without airbags and you will lose your multimedia equipment. Regarding these changes, the brand has not yet issued any confirmation, but it should arrive in the coming days.
For his part, the old camper Lada Niva of which a new generation was projected for 2024 based on Renault Duster that it was already canceled , continues in production with hardly any changes . In it, however, no electronic elements or technology had been implemented, so does not depend on component import of that type.
Sad, but if you still had in mind the old Lada derived from the Fiat 124 that we met 30 years ago in Colombia, these new models they won’t be too different . At least, in terms of its endowment. In these Lada Granta we have a car from the last decade, reversed to decades ago .
A lack of respect? Desperate decision in the midst of the crisis? Eager to sell as it is? Or all of the above? Be that as it may, its arrival on the Russian market is imminent. Yes indeed, only to the Russian market .

The marque was launched during the Soviet era by AvtoVAZ, which was originally a state-owned company, but has been part of France's Groupe Renault since 2017.
Renault's holdings in Russia account for approximately 40% of the country's car production, and Lada accounted for the two best-selling models of 2021.

An AutoVAZ spokesman told The Wall Street Journal that the suspension was due to the global chip shortage and refused to comment on whether economic sanctions were a contributing factor.
Renault had previously paused production at other factories in Russia, citing short supplies of parts, but it has not taken any steps to exit its Russian operations in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Lada is expected to resume production next week.

Lada dominated the Soviet market during the 1970s and 1980s, and its Niva SUV remains on sale today at a starting price below $10,000. Russian President Valdimir Putin has used a personally owned Lada Viva painted in camouflage colors to promote the Russian automotive industry.

"[ Desperate Characters ]―tense, quick, prickling with suppressed panic―is very much of its time and has a lot to say to ours, too. If you’ve never read it, or if, like me, it’s been a while since you did, now is an excellent moment to pick it up." ― Alexandra Schwartz, The New Yorker "Paula Fox’s narrative feels singular, particularly in the way it captures, through effervescently intelligent dialogue, the tenuousness of intimate relationships." ― Rose Courteau, New York Times "A masterwork of economical prose…Remarkable…[O]ne can only wonder who is more fatally deluded―the desperate characters of the Bentwoods' era or the hyperconfident ones of our own." ― Andrew O'Hehir, Salon "The first time I read Desperate Characters …I fell in love with it." ― Jonathan Franzen "Fox dissects a marriage and a social class with the sharpest of knives, cannily undermining not only one couple’s false pieties and deceptive comforts but our own as well." ― Marisa Silver "Absorbing, elegant." ― Charles Winecoff, Entertainment Weekly "Packed with lucid insights." ― Isabella Biedenharn, Entertainment Weekly "A perfect short novel…As in Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich , everything crucial within our souls bared." ― Andrea Barrett "This perfect novel about pain is as clear, and as wholly believable, and as healing, as a fever dream." ― Frederick Busch
Paula Fox (1923―2017) was the author of Desperate Characters , The Widow’s Children , A Servant’s Tale , The God of Nightmares , Poor George , The Western Coast , and Borrowed Finery: A Memoir , among other books.

It was a book that I saw recommended in the NYT. It was very interesting and I think worth reading a second time to appreciate the subtle nuances. It's all about a couple's marriage and a cat bite that plays a prominent role in the story.
It’s written lovely and made me laugh - I wondrous if the author lived in the heights.She described the suburb in the city with
I loved the author's writing style and intense descriptions. The story didn't have much substance, in my opinion, but it kept my attention just because of the beauty of the language the author crafted.
Comedian Eddie Izard once observed that there are no British blockbuster movies because nothing ever happens in British movies. He joked that, unlike American movies full of explosions,murders and noise - British films all consist of people standing still in rooms saying things like “I’m arranging these matches.” Paula Fox’s much-ballyhooed novel felt a lot like that for me -watching two people staring silently at each other in a series of rooms where nothing really happens and no one really does anything except arrange matches. Circling a few days in the lives of two middle-aged dilettantes I kept waiting desperately (get it? “Desperately”) for something (anything!) to actually happen. But nothing does- Sophie gets bitten by a stray cat and worries obsessively she will die from her wound - but won’t go the doctor...and when she finally does she worries obsessively she has rabies. She doesn’t have rabies and nothing happens. The bite gets better. Her husband is dissolving his law practice with a partner who had been a dear friend for years but now these two men can barely stand the sight of each other. Why? Who knows? Nothing really happens there either. His partner behaves badly and yells a bit. And - oh my - the continuous casual racism is hard to stomach. Forty years later, endless references to “Negroes” - their “smell” and their “quaint” ways are tough to read. Ouch. What Fox has an impeccable eye for are the settings these very dull people move through. Her descriptions of the foods people eat, the homes they live in and the clothes they wear are a delight - if only the people in these intricately described spaces ever actually did anything or even interacted with them! Instead it’s like paper dolls - in which static, lifeless figures are just placed in different settings to see how they look. Then they are moved to a different setting to see how they look over here. Everyone at the beginning of this tale is the exact same as they are at the end - no one grows or changes or seems to learn anything at all from their interactions - they just blandly continue moving through landscapes - arranging matches.
This is a well crafted novel with economic and precise descriptions and dialogue. It also evokes a place (New York City) and a time (late 1960s) with well selected details that ring true and give the reader a glimpse into that time in American culture. The scope of the novel is small, so as to better analyze the complexity of human relationships, which is the over-riding quality of the novel. It is a short novel which corresponds well to its concentrated scope in terms of time, place, and situation as well as Fox's ability to select the single word or detail to explain or illustrate larger meaning to the reader. However, I could not give the novel a score of 5, despite its many good qualities. I found the Bentwoods, both Sophie and Otto, to be highly privileged and spoiled. Otto Bentwoods' `know-it-all' responses to almost everything his wife says was irritating. The novel is limited in time, a single weekend, and focuses primarily on the break between Otto and his legal partner, Charlie. These two men appeared to have different styles that complimented each other in both their friendship and legal practice, however I got the impression that after many years, they were somewhat sick of each other. The Bentwoods are highly-educated, wealthy, liberal, and Fox does a good job of showing the intrusion of the real world into their existence. As Fox describes it, the upper class can use their wealth to isolate them from the messiness of poverty but it creeps back in, much like the nasty tom cat that bites Sophie in the first pages of the novel. I once read a quote by Dawn Powell, that youth float on the illusion of luxury. Fox would expand that sensibility to indicate that the upper classes also wish to float on that same illusion but for those over 40 the illusion is about more than luxury, it is about life's consistent and nagging barriers, irritations, complications. The cat bite brings all this messy reality back into Sophie's life. The book is very well written and is admirable in its ability to limit time, place, person, situation for an examination of a situation that generalizes beyond the limitations Fox has created for her art.
It was a short read. I like the emotions it made me feel. At times I was frustrated with the main character, but then at times I sympathized with her
I can’t tell if I’m missing something, or the book is. It reads easy, with a lot of dialogue. It almost reads like a play—I could see it easily being transferred to the theater. The prose, while quality, often feels sketchy. I suppose it is “economical,” per one of the glowing blurbs. It is also a barrier between the reader and the story. Transitions happen very quickly—new rooms, new people, new conversations. It can be hard to get a sense of place, or a feel characters, given everything is so fleeting. The book’s brevity, however, is a plus, in my opinion, as I never considered not finishing. In this sense, I suppose the novel is a success.
I really don't mind the lack of a so called "plot". It is about relationships. Ralationships between people who are for lack of a better word"nut jobs". I didn't find the revealing of their personalities and inner thoughts instructive or entertaining.
5.0 out of 5 stars
This book is a rare treat.
I know I am coming late to this party, but this is easily one of the most stunning novels I have ever read. The story is interesting and cohesive, the characters feel recognisable and real, the writing is masterful. So far, so good. Then, in addition, the issues that throw modern life into relief and test all of us are held up and examined before our eyes: a partnership is dissolved, a lovely neighbourhood is positioned flat up against an area of poverty and disorder, a traumatic animal bite repays an act of kindness, a much loved home is invaded and senselessly vandalised. All these things taint "the good life" we work so hard to achieve. Just how fragile is the life we want for ourselves? Everyone should read this book. It is a rare treat.

A very poor print
I haven't read the whole book yet, mostly because of the shoddy print! It might be hard to tell from the photo but there is a speckling to the paper and a fuzziness to the print, almost like a bad photocopy of a copy of a copy...

Appalling print quality - looks like a cheap photocopy. I'm returning the book to get an earlier version I can actually read.

Perfect condition and arrived ahead of schedule
Love this book. Lost my original moving house so bought this as my replacement. Very happy with it. Perfect condition and arrived in a very timely manner considering what’s going on in the world. Absolute bargain too for a classic! Thanks!!

Proper Writing
Intense, ominous prose. Precise observation. Very fine novel. Like many American novels now it is highly filmic or play-like but that's no criticism; it's a form that concentrates prose and makes every word work. No point me rehashing further the very high praise of the great and the good. I agree with whoever suggested reading the Intro after the novel btw.
