It is very easy to propaganda советский автопром when you can buy any modern car, as well as it is very easy to propaganda comminism, living in the capitalistic USA and being able to use all the benefits of the modern civilization.
I seriously doubt if you could be driving Soviet Lada for "tens of thousands of miles" without having to damn Lada, USSR, Karl Marx and communism.
