Well I could continue publication of foreign-language advertisings until the point it would all Greek to you. Just for the record, the U.S.S.R. made a determined but ultimately unsuccessful marketing effort to sell Chaikas to the world outside of the iron curtain. Perhaps they used impressing pics of Chaika's just with the intention of getting public attention for good sellers.

Compared to the TL-system the Chaika suspension wasn't something special. The Soviets regularly avoided a thinking beyond conventional approach, unless they entered uncharted waters. Ok, that is a classical oversimplification, because never in the human genesis had taken place a "national thinking". A mental process especially is defined as individual process.

Now I have lost the thread of the conversation.

front: independent, trapeze-shaped A-arm suspension, coil springs, hydraulic dampers

rear: solid axle, semi-elliptic leaf springs, hydraulic telescopic dampers
