In August last year (2014) we visited the VDNKh, a permanent expo and entertainment facility here in north of Moscow where I am based, as I mentioned in this post -- Pictures from an Exhibition.
And here's the GAZ-53A truck that I saw there.
The GAZ-53A truck (even though the English wikipedia entry on it contains an outrageous claim).
Seen many of these in my time on a daily basis.
But now they seem to have disappeared even more completely than comparable ZiL trucks... at least in Moscow.
