The opinion of Ivan Likhachev, the director of the plant, who for some reason did not like single-wheel
wheels, was also important.
Commenting on today's ceremonial launch, Rosatom Director General,
Alexey Likhachev, said:“The‘Ural' together with its sisters are central to our
strategic project of opening the NSR to all-year activity.
In 2010, the plant in the Urals was closed due to bankruptcy, and three years later, production was permanently stopped at
one of the oldest enterprises in the automotive industry- the Likhachev plant.
