Wow, that is an impressive restoration they did on that GAZ MM.
Looks like they even found parts of one of the soldiers too:
If only he could talk! Yes, RIP.
According to the license plate on the front, it states "GAZ-MM truck. It was built in July 1941. During the liberation of Novgorod, January 19, 1944, it went under the ice of the Kopka River. It was raised from the river bed on August 15, 2014. Restored by restorers of the Novgorod Museum-Reserve and the team of OAO "261 Repair Plant" on April 6,2015."
