Employees of the Ministry of Finance will be the first to replace foreign company cars with domestic Lada Aura sedans, as stated by the head of the Ministry of Finance Anton Siluanov.
«Employees of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation will be the first to switch to Lada Aura, it is very comfortable, no worse than its foreign analogues», — Anton Siluanov was quoted by RIA Novosti.
I was probably the first to contact AvtoVAZ. The first five cars should arrive at the beginning of next year to the Ministry of Finance. In any case, the Ministry of Finance has placed an order for this car. And I am sure that the employees of the ministry will be the first of all ministries to travel in domestically produced cars.
