Who knows, let the factory be late with the release of the« zero of fifth » for a couple of years, and it would have the destiny of LiAZ which did not managed in first half of « valiant ninetieth » to put on the conveyor a LiAZ-5256 and was finally gone bankrupt. And here PAZ was in time with the novelty which allowed to pass vague time without any in special losses. As in its time Vasily Kaplun, who held the post of the technical director of PAZ, exclaimed, « PAZ-3205 is our « camel » on which we earn money. The model appeared to very universal, we created it on base of a huge quantity of updatings which satisfied all the slightest whims of our customers ».
