The answer is simple: a Soviet-era Lada.
In the spring of 2011, North Korea’s leader Kim Jong Un had a car crash. The Lada he was driving went through a guardrail and over a cliff. The car landed in a lake. Kim was not injured. He was, however, embarrassed, and ordered a new car.
His new Lada, which was a white Soviet-era car, was a gift from the country’s military. The car was chosen because it was cheap and easy to maintain, and it was the same model used by Kim’s father and grandfather.
The Lada was a “Soviet-era car,” as the CIA puts it, a reference to the Lada, a small, cheap, and reliable car that the Soviets produced in the 1970s. The Lada is a good example of a “people’s car.” It was designed to be affordable and easy to maintain, and it was the car of choice for many Soviet citizens.
The Lada was the car of choice for many Soviet citizens.
But the car that Kim Jong Un was driving in 2011 was not the same car that his father and grandfather had. It was a Soviet-era car, but it was not a Lada. It was a black Mercedes-Benz SL-Class, a luxury car that is popular with the country’s elites.
