One of the Soviet Union's most popular bicycle brands has been revived by a Russian factory after spending decades in obscurity, the latest Russian-made product to hit shelves as Moscow champions domestic production over Western imports.
Originally mass-produced by a state-owned Soviet plant in the Russian city of Perm, the Kama bicycle became popular in the 1970s and 1980s for its foldable design and distinctive red frame, but fell out of use after the Soviet collapse of 1991.
Now Russia's Forward car factory is bringing the Kama brand back with a new model resembling its Soviet counterpart, marketing what was once considered a vintage collector's item to a new generation of cyclists.
