We are a team of media guys from Russia with passion for cars. No Kalinka-Malinka bullshit. We offer car shoots and features for magazines as we've got plenty of cool stuff here to tell about. Let our presentation tell you more about the undiscovered Russian car scene. Hit us for features, we've always got a lot of good stuff in production.

1. CAR CULTURE IN RUSSIA

2. WHO
WE ARE
THESE RUSSIANS is
an agency with an
expertise in Russian
automotive world.

3. WHAT
WE DO
We provide a 360˚
content support
from automotive
culture in Russia for
your editorial needs.

4. WHY DOESTHAT
MAKE SENSE?

5. OKAY, LET’S START
WITH A BITOF HISTORY

6. For decades Russia has been perceived by rest of the
world as a country with bloody leaders, richest cultural
heritage, leadership in space development and military
potential. But Russian domestic automotive market has
never been outstanding neither in terms of engineering
nor in terms of design.

7. Russia is still perceived by rest of the world as a country
where bears are met on the streets, people drink vodka
and drive Ladas so recklessly that dash-cam videos
from russian roads get millions of views on YouTube.

8. We might have lost the advantage on some fields, and
vodka with bears and Ladas still happen with us. But
what Russia has always had are the craftsmen and the
engineers. And these people finally got their hands and
fantasy on cars. In the last 10-15 years a new generation
of automotive enthusiasts developed a wide range of
automotive subcultures worth telling about.

9. NOW

10. What should be
mentioned first is the
domestic market. Once
been copied from Fiats
and Impalas these cars
now get their new life in
hands of enthusiasts.
DOMESTIC
MARKET

11. This is where the resto
culture gets its roots.
These cars also serve as
a low-budget entrance
point to drift and time-
attack movement.
Here young engineers
try their first swaps and
modifications.

12. STANCE
SCENE
Visitors and judges
of European stance
contests already had
a chance to meet few
ultimate projects of
Russian stance scene.

13. The truth is - stance
movement in Russia
had time to grow up
and, despite the roads
quality, got mighty and
independent. Every
summer there are at least
twelve big stance events
in the central part of the
country.

14. CAR
CLUBS
The next thing getting
popular in Russia is a
car club meetings. For
example VW and Audi
festival is held for the
jubilee 10th time this
summer.

15. Similar events are also
held by NISMO Club
Russia, and once a year
there is a global JDM
bash going on where
visitors get a chance to
see hundreds of VIP, drift,
stance and other custom
project Japan imports.

16. AMERICAN
CLASSICS
Being quite far from
the USA, we didn’t get
American import in the
same proportions as the
JDM or the EDM, but the
remaining cars are being
sought after and carefully
restored by collectors.

17. This leads to an increasing
amount of muscle car
and hot-rod oriented
garages and quite
authentic exhibitions of
all-american classic stuff
along with the cars.

18. CLASSIC
CARS
The most exclusive
and rare examples of
automotive history can
be met on Russian streets
too. But compared to
any other cars, these
oldtimers come out of
their garages only for
special occasions.

19. Mostly, they can be seen
on various luxury events like
the L.U.C Chopard Classic
Weekend Rally, Bosch
Moskau Klassik rally, etc.
However, some of them
are still weekend-driven
and even take part in
classic car track-days and
competitions.

20. TIME
ATTACK
Many years after the
world-known success of
Soviet autosport Russia
is back in the game.

21. Today we have
several FIA-sanctioned
motorsports curcuits and
a growing number of local
racetracks, which makes
it possible for the races of
MitJet, Legends, RHHCC,
WTCC, MaxPowerCars,
DTM, F1 and other series
to happen nearly every
weekend.

22. DRIFT
This is where things
get hectic. Russia, like
many other countries, is
affected by the rubber
burning syndrome.

23. This year, forty pilots entered
the first lap of Russian Drift
Series in Moscow. And it
is only a quarter of those,
able to compete with
serious budgets and 500+
horsepower. Apart of it,
thousands of cars are being
built and hundreds of local
events are held yearly in this
discipline over the country.

24. DRAG
It was definitely drag
racing, that started a new
era for Russian autosport
when it appeared in our
country about 20 years
ago. Need of powerful
engines then launched
many good changes.

25. What we have now is
one of the three world’s
fastest Nissan GT-Rs
(MOSES) built in Russia
and Lamborghini Gallardo
Nera, which set the
quickest standing mile
record on December 22,
2013 in Greece.

26. UNLIMITED
CLASS
Since there are people,
whose fantasy, budgets
and philosophy make
it impossible for them
to meet the technical
regulations of the existing
racing classes, the
Unlimited class was born.

27. Creatures that hit the grid
in this class in Russia host
mindblowing big-dollar
solutions and are a thrill to
see on track. MaxPowerCars
Championship is home
for this class along with
the GT1/2/3/4 and Touring
classes. Its events happen
on the best Russian
autodromes, and are
definitely worth seeing.

28. If all of this makes sense to you, and you would like to
enhance the geography of featured cars and events
and include Russian automotive content, now you have
got a reliable partner to do it.

Several magazines
and websites have
already discovered
the advantages of our
feaures.
