The top of the State Duma was transferred to Russian cars to "popularize the domestic auto industry." However, the elected officials failed to either save money or get closer to the people, journalist Alexander Yunashev reported.
But there is a nuance: the elected officials failed to either save money or get closer to the people. Instead of BMW and Genesis costing about 20-30 million rubles, they are now driving an Aurus for 40 million rubles.
Lower-ranking deputies also received new cars. But they got more budget-friendly models - Lada Aura. In the maximum configuration, such a car costs up to three million rubles.
