UAZ-452 also known as Buhanka or "The Bread Loaf" in Russian - is a special four-wheel drive passenger van. If you watch any documentary involving Russian wilderness, chances is the vehicle that carries the production crew would be a UAZ-452. It is tough 4x4 van, while not pretty by any stretch of imagination, it's look has certain honest charm similar to the German Unimog. The machine is manufactured by Ulyanovsk Automobile Plant since 1957. It is available as a window van or dual cab version. Body of the car can be equipped with single-wing side doors and rear folding door (door configuration depends on the version).
