Intelligent people do not compare apples (German assembly drawing) with oranges (Russian “let us copy this wheel” drawing). If somebody do so… he can end with opposite effect. You will not show up superiority but… your own stupidity.

I was not aware Yuri the Cunt was a fake engineer on top of being a fake historian (famous mother of the fail Lowe). And since he is neither, how can he tell whether a drawing is of sound quality, or whether it is a legit drawing, to begin with?

I do not see any identification details on those drawings, and I am not going to take Mr Yuri’s word for it. After all, he is the same guy who concocted stuff like the VK 70.02, WTE-100, and who promotes them as historically accurate.

While I will not judge Signor Pasholok, as he might be a student of the SerB school of customer service, I believe the correct response to Guthy’s comments is, “thank you”.
As an engineer and draftsman myself, it is clear to me you know what you are on about. +1

If there is nothing to break down (try the brakes, try to accelerate in less than one era/3rd gen Moskvitch would be perfect example). Soviet factories had low standards as far as 1980s IIRC. Can`t blame them-all workers got more only if more than a 100% of quantity norm was met for one day. Of course these house machinery works! I just in july sold a washing machine from USSR-crank operated, perfectly designed around women working hard. DDR isn`t really soviet now is it? But hell, i`ll bite-it is obvious that Jerries did stuff a lot better than any average commie factory worker. They have a mind installed quality control. That went offline when they made atrocities like “wartburg” or these funny all-steel sewing machines that broke every needle in 50mile radious on usage.

I don`t really care about your economic POV-that has nothing to do with engineering and quality of products made in USSR. Keep your anti capitalist propaganda away. And just to be clear-i am nowhere near supporting capitalism. I just don`t get how anyone that had soviet stuff can say with clear conscience that it was superior to western made things (apart from obvious things like AKMS, Igla and so on). And just for pure fun-soviet economy engineers made whole countries collapse money-wise.

Funny considering Lada never breaks down unless you seriously abuse it, of course it breaks down today because its either used for 50 years without maintenance or its made by Capitalist factories in the Russian Federation.

Fridges, radios, televisions, washing machines all lasts till today. In fact there was a Eastern German company making fridges and they were so good that after the collapse of Eastern Germany this company became independent they continued to roll out their reliable fridges but they went bankrupt, you know why? Because they were so good people did not have to buy new ones.

So much for Socialism, makes stuff last forever does it not? Guess that is why Capitalist factories you apparently endorse so much makes stuff fail couple of years forcing people to buy new stuff so they earn more money.

Grow up kid. Read the reason for the accident before just assuming something like a kindergarten kid does.

From reading all of the expert opinions above I can see that certainly the main question at hand has been comprehensively determined – Yuri is a giant cunt.

100% agree with you. When a factory is about captured by enemy, they will try to destroy all important documents, leave behind the less one. So normally when they capture the factory, they only found trashs, raw drawings… And he use that to compare with some “re-drawing” by soviet engineers after the war, when they have time and a real tank to mesure?
