As a Soviet, it’s mad seeing this kind of shit being unearthed. I had toy versions of this exact trailer thing as a kid, but the actual ‘product’ was mythical; it wasn’t ‘sold’ as such, or even advertised.
Everyone knew it existed, and being the USSR, there was only one version of this thing in existence, with a decades-long waiting list which required you to be in a privileged position within the Communist Party to even be eligible to sign up for. Nobody had ever seen one IRL, but everyone had an uncle’s best mate’s third cousin who had one.
Every kid had the toy though, along with the ‘Vazik’ (Lada Niva) tow vehicle.
