Fallen auto giant ZIL

ZIL, the oldest autoenterprise Russia, is now experiencing the worst times in its history. It is the largest of the Moscow factory, and its territory is continuing interest from municipal authorities and developers. Last year, Sobyanin said that instead of the plant there will be another luxury residential district. Most of the shops are now eliminated and preparing for the demolition.

This entry shows one of the small shops, is engaged in repair of electric cars and trucks. ZIL was so grandiose that only the relatively small shop - five floors, two elevators, private substation, an assembly hall, trade union, two baths. Let us examine all this economy.
