If you like this check out Unsung Icons of Soviet Design on 99% invisible. I highly recommend that podcast in general.

Also, Bones And Grooves: The Weird Secret History Of Soviet X-Ray Music., an article on bootleg music from Russia called "bone music"

That LP bootleg article is a great interview! Heard about that before, but this is very detailed info.

That door handle without a door on the thumb car is kind of odd. Apparently you get in from the other side. Still not sure if the front opens somehow. There can't be much storage space there.


edit - no, really, that's a door:

Reverse engineering a hatchback from just the name I guess.
