Its true size model of a yellow bus hoisted on top of a concrete platform.
On the base is a memorial tablet with the words Veteran of the Road.
LiAZ-677 was former Soviet Unions most famous bus.
The plant produced pressed wood products, as well as wood particle boards.
Fifteen years passed and LiMZ decided that it was time for another upgrade.
They also changed their name, this time calling themselves LiAZ.
But LiAZ was not easily satisfied.
Before long, it started thinking instead of making buses for ZiL, why not make our own?.
In 1962, the first prototype of LiAZ-677 was ready.
Encouraged, LiAZ released another prototype and tested a few buses in the area of Sochi.
The bus finally hit the roads in 1967.
It became a symbol of its time and the most familiar sight on Russian roads.
Its engine had an enormous appetite for gasoline, consuming 35 liters of petrol per hundred kilometers.
The transmission also made a characteristically loud noise similar to the sound of empty bottles.
But it had a large capacity of 110 passengers which was useful during rush hours.
Nevertheless, LiAZ-677 became a Soviet icon.
All of these monuments features the bus either a real specimen or a replica hoisted on a pedestal.
The factory no longer manufactures LiAZ-677.
Production stopped in 1996.
