context_page_description: MTV-82 is a Soviet four-axle tramcar. MTV
  stands for Moscow Tram Vehicle. The first prototype of MTV-82 tramcar was built on
  the military Factory No. 82 in 1946. The mass production started in 1947 on the Factory No. 82
  and it was transferred to Rīgas Vagonbūves Rūpnīca in 1949.
  In 1961 mass production of MTV-82 in Riga ceased, it was replaced in
  production by its direct successor, RVZ-6 tramcar. In total, Factory No. 82
  and RVR produced 453 and 1707 MTV-82s respectively. These tramcars worked
  until 1983 in Moscow, Kiev, Gorky, Sverdlovsk,
  Vladivostok and many other Soviet cities and towns. The Soviet tram
  drivers and repairmen liked MTV-82 very much for its simplicity, reliability
  and durability. Most of MTV-82s were in operable state before scrapping,
  but renovation of Soviet trams was fatal for many types of "old-fashioned"
  Soviet tramcars.
