Small piece on the radio 4 program Today this morning about Nissan's ongoing expansion in Russia and how they are re-introducing the Datsun "moniker" there.
NISSAN | NISSAN ANNOUNCES MAJOR INDUSTRIAL EXPANSION IN RUSSIA
Their St Petersburg Plant is to double manufacturing capacity to produce the
next generation Qashqai for Russian market and they have entered a joint agreement with AvtoVAZ [ the company that run the old LADA Plant in Togliatti] to start making DATSUN cars for the Russian market and beyond.
