I take it you've never been in, let alone driven a Russian-made car.

Actually, I've driven *in* a *Polish* Fiat 125, which was a copy of an Italian Fiat 124 sedan. It was about 20 years old, had 300k km or so on it, and belonged to my uncle. Seemed like a sturdy, basic car, and kind of reminded me of an older Volvo (144). Communist-bloc cars weren't all as bad as Trabbis.
ObRussianCars: The bigger Ladas were were similar to the Polish Fiat 125. However, I'd suspect that assembly quality was lower.

Lada. Or Zhiguli in Russian. First Lada was a copy of Fiat, but a bad one. You were expected to overhaul pretty much everything right after you got it, and engine life was about 100kkm
Here both were quickly JUNKED!
