Melkus RS 1000, 1969. An East German sports car that was powered by a tuned, mid-mounted Wartburg 3-cylinder 2-stroke 992cc  engine. In total 101 cars were made with production ending in 1979. In 2006 15 replicas were made to celebrate the car's 50th anniversary but an attempt to make a successor Melkus RS 2000 failed when the company was registered as insolvent.

Tolys may have lost the master's favour, nearly all his freedoms, and most of his sanity, but he did gain one thing: An oasis in the desert, so to speak, where scarred arms on his shoulders were a comfort and where laughter echoed off the light-blue wallpaper.

Škoda 110 R, 1970. The 100/110 Type 717/722 were rear engined 4-door saloons that date from the communist era when Škoda was state-owned. The 110 R (Type 718) was a fastback coupé based on the 110 saloon created to appeal to Western European tastes and generate foreign exchange. It remained in production for a decade during which time 56,902 were made.

What could have been?
After the dissolution of the USSR in 1991, Russia went from being the federative keystone at the head of a global economic and military superpower, to being largely politically irrelevant overnight. Nearly a decade of economic liberalization meant that capital was being terminally funneled out of the country towards western businesses, and this coupled with the war in Afghanistan during the ‘80s, and rapid consolidation of power among wealthy oligarchs, meant that by the early ’90s the nation was hemorrhaging.
Members of my extended family grew up in Soviet cities, being provided relatively easy and immediate access to everything they needed to survive, and all of that was taken in an instant. Political upheaval and violence became commonplace. Wars broke out. Some of my distant cousins were conscripted to fight in Georgia and Chechnya. Others starved to death.
I’m homesick, but my home is gone. It was gone before I had the chance to see it. I’m nostalgic for a time and place that I’ll never get to experience. I often think about my lost and distant relatives gazing up at the stars on the cold streets of Moscow - the same stars as are in my sky, and given recent events in Eastern Europe, it begs the question:
What could have been?
