About This Design

Russian Car And Dacha Mouse Mat

Russian Car And Dacha Mouse Mat

A faux propaganda image featuring a rural scene from the early post-war Soviet Union. Depicts a GAZ M-20 Pobeda automobile, in front of a dacha (rural summer house). Across the upper part of the image is an "M20" hood ornament, Cyrillic (Russian) text reading "ГАЗ" (GAZ) and a side ornament found on the vehicles featuring stylised Cyrillic text reading "Победа" (Pobeda). The image has been "aged" to suggest that it dates from the early post-war period. Internal Soviet propaganda often tried to inform the people how good life was in the USSR. A dacha and a car to get there signified the good life. City dwellers dreamed of having a small plot of land outside the city to flee to on summer weekends, away from the heat and dirt of the city. The Pobeda, was the first automobile manufactured for the public after the end of World War. The M20 was produced 1946 to 1958. GAZ (ГАЗ is a Russian acronym for Gorkovsky Avtomobilny Zavod - Gorsky Automobile Factory) Pobeda (Победа) is the Russian word for victory. The name was chosen because the car was first tested in 1943 when an Allied victory in World War II began to appear likely.The Pobeda was manufactured under license in Poland and a few were assembled in North Korea. The Pobeda was the first post-war Soviet-made automobile and the first Soviet vehicle to have turn signals, two electric wipers, an electric heater, and a built-in AM radio. The car came to be a symbol of postwar Soviet life and is today a popular collector's item. A total of 235,997 Pobedas were produced. A number of M20s have been extensively customised in recent years. There are even a few "muscle car" versions on the road.

Seems to be made of good quality rubber, it is thicker than my current one, which really shows that they have taken their time to get quality materials. So far so good , i am very pleased. The product is very vibrant and exactly as it shows on the website!
