We all know that the Soviet Union had a developed automotive industry that produced many types of automobiles under different brands. Nowadays you rarely see these USSR products anywhere. Therefore, modern youth do not know, for example, the difference between VAZ 21011 and GAZ 3102 and how they are deciphered. In fact, there were quite a lot of factories producing cars under different brands. Therefore, in this article we will not limit ourselves to answering the question of how VAZ and GAZ stand for. Let's tell a brief history of each of them.

Identification of Soviet cars
The designation of the VAZ 21011 modification corresponds to the car brand designation system approved in 1966 in the Soviet Union. This system uses an alphanumeric display method. Letters and numbers are separated by a hyphen. The letters indicate the manufacturer. VAZ is short for Volzhsky Automobile Plant (AvtoVAZ). GAZ - Gorky, MAZ - Minsk Automobile Plant.
There are numbers to the right of the line. This is where the confusion begins. A Russian-speaking person is used to reading from left to right. From general to specific. In the designation of “Soviet-style” car brands, the second most general category is the type of car. The authors of the industry standard made a mess with their own hands. They have exactly the second, and not the first, number indicating the type of car:
The first digit, that is, the leftmost digit, indicates the class of the car, and its decoding depends on the second digit. In the case of passenger cars (the second digit is 1), the first digit means, depending on the technical characteristics, the following:
Foreign cars
VAZ error codes
In most modern cars, you can look at the information data in the plate on the left (passenger) pillar of the car, although there are exceptions. If you couldn’t find the numbers in this place, you should inspect the engine compartment of the car
Most often, the digital designation of car enamels is displayed under the large inscription “COLOR”, in the absence of which you need to pay attention to all combinations of consecutive numbers longer than three characters. Each marking has its own system, some of the systems are described below; if they are not listed, you should check the manufacturer’s website:
- Alfa Romeo - plates in the wheel well on the front passenger side, on the inside of the trunk lid.
- Audi - spare tire niche in the trunk or the inside of the lid (codes from car enamels to plastic and the main part are indicated through a slash).
- BMW - under the hood, on the rail and on the supports (risers).
- Fiat - a fire-protecting partition under the hood, right wheel niche in front and trunk lid.
- Ford - in the engine compartment, on the front radiator trim (to determine the color you need the number in the “K” line).
- Honda - a pillar on the driver's side, in the space closed by the door.
- KIA – driver's pillar (paint number – last two digits).
- Mercedes – passenger pillar and radiator strip under the hood (enamel code – second digit in the penultimate row).
- Renault - you can find the nameplate on both supports in the engine compartment.
- Volkswagen - radiator cross bar in the front of the hood and passenger (left) pillar.
The manufacturer is free to classify factory enamels in any way, give them abstract names, encrypt them, etc. Therefore, you can definitely determine the right combination of tinting pigments either by contacting the original classifier, or by using the help of a specialist. Those. You can find the necessary car enamels by bringing the found code to the colorist or by checking technical documentation, catalogs, etc. They simplify the search procedure with paint selection programs (Spies Hecker guide, DuPont ColorQuick analogues, etc.), although in this case you will have to deal with the same databases , but in electronic form.
Even with a code, it is not always possible to determine the shade with certainty. Tinting machines can make mistakes; small changes in shades distinguish cars of different years of production. In this case, you can find out the exact shades of car enamels only with the help of a test fit - you can do it yourself, since the difference in tone can usually be leveled out by adding a dark and light shade. On the websites of some manufacturers you can also find information about what colors of cars were produced in a given period of time, information about the colors of cars in production. In order to find out the color number in this way, you need to have accurate information about the production date of the car.
History of names
Numerous abbreviations and product names of the Soviet-Russian flagship of the automotive industry have interesting stories and explanations.
Decoding the abbreviation "VAZ"
The nameplate of the vehicle bears the name of the manufacturer. When in Soviet times they were choosing a location for an automobile enterprise, Togliatti, located on the great Russian river, seemed to be the most attractive place (in terms of climate, communications, distance from Moscow). .
What does "Lada" mean?
If the decoding of “VAZ” lies on the surface, then the “Lada” emblem is not entirely clear, especially to foreigners. The symbolism takes us back to the old days, to ancient Russian legends about knights, victorious conquests of new lands on boats (sailing and rowing boats).
The Lada badge was designed by one of the plant managers, A. Dekalenkov. Initially, the sketch clearly showed the letter “B” - the first in the name of the plant. Later, the emblem, like the VAZ badge, was modified to a modern look by Yu. Davydov and a group of factory designers.
Meaning of model names
Entire departments are working on creating model names even at the development stage. The name is the business card of the car. The competitiveness of the car also depends on the name.
"Vesta"
The name of the Roman goddess of the family hearth is easy to remember, sounds soft, and inviting.
LADA XRAY
"Crossover for active recreation of young people."
This name is included in the abbreviation of the prestigious car brand.
"Granta"
The name was chosen by the whole country. An all-Russian competition was announced.
Out of thousands of proposals, the commission chose Granta, focusing on the English reading: “gift” or “to give.”
Lada Largus
The name did not appear by chance: the station wagon is associated with the Spanish “largo” (long).
From English “large” is also translated as “big”.
"Niva" and LADA 4X4
4X4 means all-wheel drive (on all four wheels).
The name “Niva” was given by the chief designer of the SUV, P. M. Prusov, who compiled an abbreviation from the initial letters of the names of his children – his own and a friend’s.
"LADA KALINA"
The name was chosen as a result of a competition.
The winner was a resident of Krasnoyarsk who saw a symbol of Russia in a viburnum bush. The commission members agreed with him.
Lada Priora
There is no official decoding of the name: only an approximate translation from the Latin prior - “first, senior.”
What do the numbers in the model names mean?
The index of each car consists of letters (name of the manufacturer) and a digital code:
- The first digit is the car class. In Ladas this “2” means: a car with an engine capacity of no more than 1.8 liters.
- The second number is the type of car. In the Lada digital code it is “1”, which means “passenger car”.
- The third and fourth digits are the model - from 01 to 99.
- The fifth digit is modification - from 1 to 9 (or 0 if missing).
Other abbreviations and abbreviations of AvtoVAZ
The letters CNG have been added to the names of the cars “Vesta” and “Largus”. This is an abbreviation for Compressed Natural Gas.
Small modifications to bodies (rarely engines) to increase consumer demand are called restyling. Modified models are marked with the letters FL (short for Facelift).
Jargonisms
"Lada" is truly a people's car. But people love to give nicknames, and among drivers there is a special slang.
By analogy with the decodings “UAZ”, “GAZ”, “VAZ”, with the light hand of the humorist M. Zadornov, the meme “TAZ” spread - the Tolyatti Automobile was transformed into an ironic “basin”.
The Samara car began to be called a “fighter” due to the owners’ passion for tuning this particular brand to a “sporty” style. And for the characteristic shape of the hood and radiator grille, the “eight” and “nine” were wittily dubbed “chisel” by car owners.
Methods for determining paint number
Knock sensor error codes P0325, P0326, P0327, P0328
You can find out the paint number of your car in several ways:
- If you bought a new car from an authorized dealer, the paint number can be found on the vehicle itself. Typically, a plate with some technical parameters of the car is attached to the inside of the trunk or door. Such a plate may contain the following information: year of manufacture of the car, tire pressure, engine number, paint color number, etc. When purchasing a car, you must check that the registration certificate and warranty card indicate the same color as on such a plate. But it happens that the plate is damaged and the information on it has become unreadable, or you have purchased a used car and there is no such source of information on it at all. Therefore, this method is not always effective.
- Almost all automakers post on their official websites a palette of colors used on cars produced during a certain period of time. So, by finding the year and month of manufacture of your car, you can find out its color.
- Another way to determine the color of a car is to contact a car service center, whose employees will be able to determine the color of absolutely any car. All you need to do is bring your gas cap with you. Any car service center has a catalog that contains hundreds of different shades with numbers assigned to them.
- Well, and finally, the last and most accurate method. Calculate the color number from the VIN code, which encrypts all information about the car.

The evolution of the Lada emblem
In the rush of building the plant and producing the first cars, the engineers somehow forgot about the trademark. They realized it when components arrived from Italy, including radiator grilles, on which there were empty spaces in place of the emblem.
The designers got to work: V. Antipin repeated the outline and size of the Fiat logo, writing three Russian letters inside instead of four Latin ones.
The author of the rook itself, which looks like the letter “B,” was A. Dekalenkov. To his displeasure, Yu. Danilov creatively redesigned the boat. The result was what is today considered a classic emblem.
The first copies, supplemented, contrary to the rules of heraldry, with the word “TOGLIATTI”, were made in Turin. By an absurd accident, the letter “I” inside the word was turned backwards: the Latin “R” turned out. Only 30 of the first badges look like “TOLRTTI” - this rarity among collectors today costs hundreds of euros.
Already on the “kopeck” the emblem began to change: the inscription was removed. At three, the rook stretched out slightly, and the edge, wide at the bottom and narrow at the top, “turned over.” The logo acquired a rectangular shape on the “six”.
They began to save on the “sixes”: the background was filled with black paint.
In the following models, the waves were abandoned altogether, the chrome was replaced with plastic, the proportions of the boat were flattened, and the edges of the rectangular edging were rounded.
How VAZ, GAZ and other cars of the USSR stand for. Complete list.
DmitryCorsten Blog Error codes for on-board computers of the Samara-2 family VAZ 2113, VAZ 2114, VAZ 2115
We all know that the Soviet Union had a developed automotive industry that produced many types of automobiles under different brands. Nowadays you rarely see these USSR products anywhere. Therefore, modern youth do not know, for example, the difference between VAZ 21011 and GAZ 3102 and how they are deciphered. In fact, there were quite a lot of factories producing cars under different brands. Therefore, in this article we will not limit ourselves to answering the question of how VAZ and GAZ stand for. Let's tell a brief history of each of them.
How does VAZ stand for?
VAZ is the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The first cars began to be produced in 1970 in Tolyatti. The leadership of the Soviet Union purchased all production technology, including equipment, as well as personnel training, from the Italian auto giant FIAT. The plant specialized in passenger cars.
How does GAZ stand for?
You probably noticed that the last two letters of VAZ stand for automobile plant, and the first letter is associated with the area. This decoding formula is applicable to almost all Soviet car brands. GAZ – Gorky Automobile Plant, founded in 1932 in the city of Gorky, now Nizhny Novgorod. Basic technologies were purchased in the USA from the FORD automaker, but subsequently Soviet designers armed themselves with their own technologies, displacing foreign ones. The plant produced not only passenger cars, but also freight vehicles and even buses.
What does KamAZ stand for?
The Kama Automobile Plant (KAMAZ) was built in 1969 in the city of Naberezhnye Chelny. And “Kamsky” - because the plant is located on the banks of the Kama River. The largest plant in the USSR for the production of trucks and tractors.
How does ZIL stand for?
The ZIL plant was founded in 1916 in Moscow, stands for Likhachev Plant. It went through a difficult path before becoming one of the largest in the USSR. A year after its founding, the revolution thundered, and it was taken into state ownership. For several years, the plant repaired cargo vehicles and also carried out tasks for the tank industry. During the leadership of the country by Stalin, the plant was renamed in honor of Stalin, and the products were produced under the ZIS brand. Production has expanded most widely since 1957 after a radical reconstruction.
Now you know not only how VAZ and GAZ stand for, but also a little about the history of the Soviet automobile industry. Below you will find a complete list of all factories in the USSR, and there are as many as 20 of them, and this is not counting factories for the production of motorcycles, trolleybuses, trams, and tractors!

Main productions and subsidiaries
During its activities, the plant opened assembly, body, and pilot production facilities.
The main ones by 2014 were:
- Belebeevsky. Located in Bashkortostan, the company produced fasteners for the country's domestic market.
- "Dimitrovgrad Automotive Unit Plant". Automotive components were produced in the workshops here.
- "Skopinsky Automotive Unit Plant" Auto parts produced by the company were supplied to the domestic and foreign markets.
- "AvtoVAZagregat" Supplied units and parts to VAZ.
- Thermal power plant of the Volzhsky Automobile Plant. The station covers the auto giant's energy needs.
During privatization, all industries became joint-stock companies.
The list of AvtoVAZ subsidiaries and affiliates is much longer. Field of activity: car sales, warranty service and repair, sale of spare parts, financial transactions for granting loans, leasing of real estate, other commercial activities.
Abbreviations: the most comprehensive list of abbreviations.
Abbreviation (Italian abbreviation, from Latin Brevis - short) - in manuscripts and ancient books: an abbreviated spelling of a word or group of words. In modern publications, an abbreviation is used to refer to any abbreviated word or phrase. An abbreviation is usually (but not always!) capitalized. Abbreviations that are read from sounds (rather than from letter names) and denote common names are written in lowercase letters (for example, university, rono, bunker).
What are the different types of abbreviations?
Initial reduction. A word formed from the names of the initial letters or initial sounds of words included in the original sentence. (For example, ACS - Automated Control System, ODE - Ordinary Differential Equations, YOD - Data Description Language).
- Abbreviation in alphabetical order. An abbreviation consisting of the letter names of the initial letters of the words that make up the original sentence. RF (er-ef) (Russian Federation). KGB (ka-ge-be) (State Security Committee), TFKP (te-ef-ka-pe) (theory of functions of one complex variable).
- The abbreviation is alphanumeric. An abbreviation is formed partly by the names of the initial letters, partly by the initial sounds of the words of the original sentence. CDSA (tse-de-sa) (Central House of the Soviet Army).
- Sound abbreviation (acronym). An abbreviation formed by the initial letters of the words of the original sentence. Hydroelectric power station (hydroelectric power station). University (higher education institution). TASS (Telegraph Agency of the Soviet Union). Unlike a letter abbreviation, it is pronounced as a separate word ("GUM" like a rubber band, not "ge-u-um"), rather than letter by letter.
Recursive reduction. Abbreviation, transcription, which includes itself. For example, GNU (GNU's Not Unix), ALT (ALT Linux Team), PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor), ATTA (ATTA Agency for Creative Technologies).
Compound words. A word formed from the initial parts of two or more words (grocery store, collective farm, etc.) or representing the addition of the beginning of a word to another word in a sentence (maternity hospital, theater club, television company, etc.).
Difference from Svarog square
The Star of Lada of the Virgin is visually almost identical to the Star of Rus', also called the Square of Svarog. The external similarity of these signs leads to the fact that sellers often mislead buyers by simply confusing these symbols or deliberately slipping a similar amulet for lack of the necessary one on the counter.
If you do not want to become a victim of such ignorance or dishonesty, carefully study the information about them before purchasing amulets. As for the Star of Lada and the Square of Svarog, the difference between these signs lies in the ellipses. In the Lada symbol they are round, expressing feminine softness, and in the Svarog Square they are sharp, like a spear or sword, which is an integral attribute of a warrior.
Star of Rus' (left) and Star of Lada (right). The first amulet is worn by men, the second by women.
The similarity of the amulets does not end with the appearance. Both signs help to turn to the gods for support and strength, thanks to which they can fulfill their obligation to the Family. But the purpose of men and women is different. A woman must keep the fire burning in the family hearth, and a man must protect his family.
It should also be noted that neither the first nor the second symbol is suitable for children. They are too young and inexperienced, and therefore cannot understand the full significance of these sacred traditions. This applies not only to the symbols of Lada and Svarog, but also to other signs associated with protecting one’s native land and turning to ancestors.
Advertising of the domestic automobile industry by V.V. Putin
At the start of its sales in 2004, the Lada Kalina logo was slightly optimized - the image became more voluminous, and the outline of the boat changed just a little. The Lada Granta also traveled around the country with the same sign. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin made a great contribution to the promotion and advertising of both the trademark and the AvtoVAZ cars themselves. While holding the rank of Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, in 2010 he drove more than two thousand kilometers in three days in a yellow Lada Kalina, giving it a positive assessment.

And in 2022, already at the rank of President of the Russian Federation, during a conversation with a resident of the city of Bryansk, the owner of such a car, he called the Lada Kalina a good car. She did not perform so well in “communication” with the president of Lada Granta. At first the trunk didn’t want to open, and then it didn’t start for a long time. By the way, when Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin arrived at the meeting of the Valdai Club, he spoke about the Lada Vesta just as well as he did about the Lada Kalina, mentioning its acceleration, ease of control and smooth ride.
Continuing this topic, it is impossible not to mention the fact that the video about the crossover “Lada X Ray” was shot in the genre of trash comedy and a travel film about Putin – “President’s Vacation”, where, according to the plot, he goes to Crimea in this particular brand of car.
Why Lada 4×4 was previously called Niva
The name “Niva” belongs to the SUV since 1977, and in 2003 it was changed to LADA 4×4. The company owns the Niva name through the former GM-AVTOVAZ JV, which was acquired at the end of 2022.
At one time, in an interview, the chief designer of Niva, Pyotr Mikhailovich Prusov, spoke about the real origin of the name:
"Niva" was named after the children - mine and the first chief designer Solovyov. I had daughters Natalya and Irina. And he has two sons - Vadim and Andrey. There was a slight hiccup with the name. It turned out that there was already such a Niva combine. It was possible, of course, to rename it, but for me it was very personal.
Bronto is a division for the production of special vehicles and SUVs of AVTOVAZ JSC.
Urban – translated from English as “urban”.
Diagnostics
- Check the panel backlight brightness adjustment slider. It often happens that the brightness adjustment is at a minimum and the backlight is very dim or does not light at all;
- Check the panel hanger fuse. On Kalina, the fuses are located under the cover of the light switch block. In the block you need to check fuse F7, it is responsible for the panel illumination. The fuse location diagram is on the light switch block cover;
One of the most common problems is a wiring problem that causes the panel backlight to not work. This usually happens when some wire breaks. In this case, only an electrician can help you.
What does the Lada logo mean?
A ship or a boat, what does it have to do with our AvtoVAZ?
Sanhes
It doesn’t mean anything, just a beautiful name that replaced the name “Zhiguli”, apparently this is connected with export, since in some languages “Zhiguli” is consonant with obscene words, so they came up with such a logo and the name “LADA”.
Jared502
Initially, VAZ cars were called “Zhiguli.” But when they were exported, translation problems arose. In foreign languages, the name is not entirely euphonious and difficult to pronounce. They decided to change it. The choice fell on LADA - according to one version, it is the goddess of spring and fertility. And according to another, LADA is a boat that sailed along the Volga, on which our wonderful Russian automobile plant stands.
Kanglaoshi
I assume that the name “Lada” appeared first (on behalf of the wife of one of the VAZ bosses), and only then the logo - rook. In ancient times, the boat was a popular means of transport. The city of Tolyatti is located on the Volga River, along which the boats sailed. So, everything fits together very well here.
bolshoyvopros.ru
Initial sign
Before this, the inscription Togliatti should have appeared on this place. But the first cars already had a completely different trademark. Throughout history, changes to the logo have been made 6 times. This name symbolized the Volga. The author of the first sign was A. Dekalenkov, whose task was to enter the letter B into the Lada, which was reminiscent of the famous river.
Below was the word Tolyatti. Previously, this was the name of one of the cities on the banks of the Volga. The name of the city was the name of the general secretary of that time - Palmiro Tolyatti.
This city is famous for the fact that in the late 60s of the last century the production of “national” cars was organized there.
The initial sketch was finalized and sent to production. When creating it, a mistake was made; instead of the Russian I, they wrote the Latin R. For some reason, this particular letter was mirrored.
This incorrect version did not go into general production; it was snapped up by the owners of a private collection. Collectors are now offering a round sum for such a sign.
vaz - from Erzya to Russian
Dashing nineties
In the early nineties of the last century, the AvtoVAZ production association, together with the entire country, was in crisis. The plant, despite the crisis, could indeed “get fantastically rich”, since the cost of production was less than half the real cost of the car. But the plant received nothing: the dealers took everything upon themselves, clinging to AvtoVAZ like bugs, sucking out every last ruble. The producer was confidently heading towards bankruptcy.
At the same time, it was a time of radical change. Of course, we also touched on the Lada logo. In the West they borrowed the oval shape. The tower was stylized as the Latin letter S, and the sail as the letter V (intentionally or not, this turned out to be the famous ancient Roman abbreviation meaning “against”). White arches radiated from the sail in different directions, forming another oval, this time unfinished. The background is blue, as is the word LADA in large font.
From the point of view of execution and the philosophy of Western thinking, the brand has become a real logo of Lada VAZ. We have long seen plastic with a chrome plate in cars of the “tenth” Lada family.
Preface
In Soviet times, they did not bother with the particular complexity of depicting trademarks, although the story of the UAZ Swallow, which led to claims from Opel, is indicative in itself (the emblem had to be replaced). Pardon the tautology, the scary-looking “VID” logo, resembling either the first president of Russia or an old witch with a toad on her head, was invented by the wife of Vlad Listyev, a well-known TV presenter and journalist in the nineties of the last century. In fact, the mask of the famous eastern philosopher from Ancient China, Hou Xiang, was taken as a basis. The logo of the upcoming world football champion in Russia visually repeats the award for winning it - the cup. And the three main emblems should evoke associations with love for: football, space exploration and, through iconography, God.
The topic of this article is the logos of the Lada car. The history of their creation, interesting and related facts about them. These logos are from that series of world brands that everyone speaks to themselves, once you see them or reproduce their image using an associative connection.
Bottom part
Let's look at the indicators at the bottom of the control panel. If they don’t light up, it means the machine is working normally, and when any of them lights up, this indicates a malfunction in certain components. Most often, this is a signal that repairs are needed, and the sooner the better. From left to right:
- The indicator on the far left at the bottom is the air damper light (if you have a carburetor engine);
- Icon in the form of an oil can. If this light comes on, it means there is insufficient oil pressure in the engine. An alarming signal. You need to stop, find the reason;
- A round icon with the letter P inside on the control panel indicates that you have the parking brake on, which, as you know, should be turned off when moving away;
- Indicator of a fault related to the generator or battery (a symbolic image of the battery is shown on the indicator). Perhaps the battery is not charging from the generator, there is an open circuit, or the generator belt is loose or broken. In any case, your intervention and repairs are needed, otherwise troubles cannot be avoided;
- If the engine is running and the Check Engine indicator is on on the control panel, this is the most unpleasant thing for the driver, since it indicates serious malfunctions in the engine. In general, when this indicator lights up, it is recommended to stop driving and turn off the engine. Most likely it needs repairs;
- Typically there is a red triangle above the Check Engine. It lights up when the “hazard light” is on - an emergency signal sign;
- The headlight light indicates that the high beam is on. Designed to control headlights: when an oncoming car appears, do not forget to switch to low beam;
- A very important indication icon on the front panel (in a red circle) is a signal that there is not enough brake fluid. Perhaps it is leaking somewhere, which it is advisable to find out as soon as possible and, if necessary, carry out urgent repairs and replenish the level;
- The icon of a burning light is a control for turning on the dimensions;
- In addition to the indicated lights, the front control panel has time indicators (and a button for setting hours and minutes) as well as a display that shows the total and daily mileage. On the new panel, this display may be narrow.
