Sales data for Russia today is quite accessible but go back to this time and it is not so much. In fact prior to 2001, I don't have much at all. There are many readers from Russia that come to this blog so if anyone from that region can let me know where I can find older sales statistics, please drop me an email rdc1234@gmail.com.

Lada was totally dominant back then with Western makes just taking off. Lada had 75% of sales in 2001 and just over 50% by 2004. Clearly Lada's share was not sustainable in a competitive environment as the market opened up. I have colour coded the list below by region so you can easily see where the brands come from.
