Quote:

Mal (Ozstatman), please try again, but this time with the vehicles from 1939.

Ross, thanks for the impressive image of the industrial ruin. Imagine the emotions, if one of the former employees would see this.

humanpotatohybrid, thanks for the interesting video. A breakdown puts your life in immediate danger. People rely on products from countries with harsh conditions. A Soviet car rolling on Canadian tires, heated by a diesel heater once patented in East Germany.

The last picture shows the same subtle shade of green in the driver's workplace that we previously saw in the "luggage" compartment. If you look closely, you will notice the broken window crank on the passenger side and also that one of the windshield wiper motors apparently has a directional switch.
I suspect that the ashtray was not removed because medical staff are more concerned about their own health, and not because it was removed due to non-use. No, it has probably fallen victim to intensive use.
My short report ends with a picture of a ZIS ambulance driver smoking.

Speaking of the crucifix: today a picture that was apparently taken on the set of a film shoot. A dead body is being transported away. (Aren't the dead always transported feet first?) The actors' clothing in particular makes me think of the 1940s. The detective in the leather coat is just leaving the crime scene.
The motorcycle in the background appears to belong to a time traveler - it seems a little too modern.

A look into the rear area reveals the undisguised concentration on functionality. Rough metal tube frame construction in an indestructible design, stainless steel surfaces that are easy to disinfect, wipeable artificial leather and linoleum floor speak a clear language. There is even a crucifix ready.
