Proposed Nationalization of Volkswagen Plant in Russia and Renaming to Buratino en

Russian politicians are increasingly talking about the nationalization of companies that supported sanctions against the Russian Federation. Sometimes, the statements are quite absurd.

For instance, Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Pyotr Tolstoy proposed nationalizing the halted Volkswagen plant in Kaluga and resuming car production there under a new name – Buratino.

The deputy did not specify where to get the car kits for assembling Volkswagen Tiguan and Polo Sedan. Due to a lack of imported parts, even VAZ is currently at a standstill in Russia, and here it involves 90-100% foreign components.

Apparently, the deputy thinks that car production is like McDonald’s: change the sign to DonMak or Uncle Vanya and you can continue working. We publish a video of this brilliant speech.
