More Moscow from another discussion group. A parade of vintage vehicles being celebrated on City Day. The second video, at around 5 min 31 seconds shows a group of 'enthusiasts' much like ourselves jockeying for position with cameras clicking away.

Please notice one old fire-truck at 3:33 and two old LAZ buses. Looks like the old MTB-82 cannot move itself without help... :D

This is Part 2 with the historical buses and trolleybuses lineup at the beginning, but then only trams.

This video on 'rutube' about the Moscow trolleybus (etc) system may be of interest. Its 25 minutes in length, and includes much archive footage.

Note that the aspect ratio of the footage is wrong, making everything seem somewhat 'squashed'.
