AvtoVAZ said Tuesday that domestic sales of its Lada-brand vehicles jumped 54 percent in April versus the same month last year on the government’s so-called cash-for-clunkers program to support the industry.
AvtoVAZ sold 52,400 Lada cars in the period, 18,000 of which were bought using state credits, the company said. Four-month sales were 124,100, or 1,200 more than in January through April of last year.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
