A member of the guard at the entrance. Plant fundamentally guarded only by women.



The total area of ​​the factory more than 600 hectares. Workers move through it on buses and taxis.



Workshop 71-1 - one of the newest in the "AvtoVAZ". Here is melted and stained plastic parts. Staffing includes 1,500 workers, but in 2009 the equipment operates at half strength, the equipment was mothballed. As a result, instead of 500 000 items Lada Kalina, Priora and 2110 will be produced only 250 000-260 000 pieces. Details for "dozen" are produced for export to Ukraine.

Assembly shop body Chevrolet-Niva business, the Enterprise GM-AvtoVAZ literally wedged into the center of the body for the production of plastics for Lada Kalina and Priora. It looks like the body Chevrolet Niva before sending it to the conveyor.



Once on the Chevrolet Niva hung doors and trunk, semi-finished serving his back to the factory GM-AvtoVAZ - in his own paint shop.



Employees of GM-AvtoVAZ plant seems to have no intention of strikes.

Form appeals to working exploits remained unchanged even after a quarter century after the collapse of the Soviet Union.



Iron foundry located in the most distress. From 8500 about 3,000 workers lost their jobs in their field. These people are engaged in furnishing the vast territory of "AvtoVAZ": care for your lawn, sweeping the sidewalk.



Cast iron plant "AvtoVAZ" bears little resemblance to modern production - before the crisis, it is not even cleaned. "Before, we did not have time for such cleaning, but now it appears" - agrees shop employee 11-5.



Hot iron is poured into sand molds. How old is this equipment, no one dares to say no.



In a cast iron furnace workshop 3: two imported and one Soviet. According to the staff of "AvtoVAZ", their performance is about the same. This oven has arrived in Russia from Sweden 39 years ago.



The efficiency of the iron foundries workshops on "AvtoVAZ" is two times lower than abroad. In Europe, one worker produces 140 tons of pig iron a year, "AvtoVAZ" - only 70 tons.



The last days in the iron shop. "I was forced to retire. Here I leave, "- says the veteran.

The famous "final assembly line»



Shopping, which weighs on the suspension arms, categorically contradicts the safety instructions. But it is very convenient and easier to work fairly. So assembly line workers bypass the rule that they have to go for each item separately



In the assembly hall Lada Kalina specially recruited the youngest - to match the image of the car. Compete with this team can unless the wiring harness assembly shop, which has its own specifics: there are working girls patient with thin fingers
