Hello Friends!!!

In the summer of 2021, I was on a trip to the northern region of Russia in Karelia.
One of the points of our trip was a dying village. There are now less than 20 residents in this village and, as far as I remember, 4 families live in total. All the houses in the village are old, which are more than 100 years old. They are like a monument of history in the open air.
There are also several old, rusty Soviet cars in the courtyards. The picture shows the model ZIL-130, if I'm not mistaken (correct, who knows for sure). This model has a glorious history, it was one of the most massive trucks in the USSR. It's very unusual to see this in person, I was overwhelmed with sad feelings....but the fact that this specimen is alive and has a state number means he can still drive on the roads and he is registered with the traffic police, this made me happy.
The translation of the photo into b \ w is justified here and emphasizes the texture of the metal and shows the old age of the car.
