Please, correct info in the model list! The "family" of the buses from Leninabad-30 looks like: "Таджикистан-5" => "Таджикистан-3205" => "ЧАЗ-3223". Also, there are "clones" from the town Rodniki, called "Родник-3230", looking very similar to them (the engineers from ЧАЗ ran away from Tajikistan to the new factory in Rodniki with all engineering documentation in mid-90's)
That's a really fascinating story! Are there still any closed cities in Russia?
Of course there are - cities with danderous or secret factories, institutes... There is special control for all people incoming and living there.
But now all world know about those cities
There are many articles about them, even in Wikipedia. Also, abandoned cities (with the world's most known Prypiat) are very interesting.But the control is very strict - even not every Russian citizen can visit them
By the way, Pripyat is "in theme". The ЧАЗ factory in Soviet time belonged to Ministry of Atomic technologies (Minatomprom, Минатомпром), and when the Chernobyl atomic station explosed, at the ЧАЗ in one week the special buses for the Pripyat zone were constructed - "Svinobuses" (acronym from "Свинец и автобус", "Plumbum buses"). They were equipped with the plumbum boarding, with little windows and were rather safe from the radioactive hazard. The "reserves" of the ZIL chassis, which was engineered for the 6-tonn trucks, done a good deal - the weight of lead plating did not affect the dynamics of the bus.
In USSR there was a mass of little departmental factories, producing buses of their own construction. Later I'll try to show their great variety =)
I'm really curious about it! Even details about popular Russian constructions are interesting a lot.
