Yuri,
Very good synopsis, I too have Russian experience, I married girl from Volskiy, very good with Kalashnikov especially when angry, actually this is nearly all the time except when sitting in Mog with designer sunglasses and shuba pretending the kids are nothing to do with her, also very good at destruction with malatok when anything annoys her.
Quite a lot of third generation imigrants here now and they are just like the multi generational locals, I employ some of them the only difference is visible, they are often good workers etc, suspect your hardtop made by non colonial foreigners somewhere foreign, probably somewhere never heard of a Morgan but manufacturing labour costs very cheap, might have come from UAZ factory where a 2 inch tolerance is big success or from that Ukraine auto maker.
Best find a good fibreglass shop, someone with cut it all to bits, glue it back together with armoured strips and it will keep AK47 bullets at bay and also malatoks too.
You will even be able to drive it safely in Grozny.
