It's not a 'fake' Fiat, it was built in cooperation with Fiat. It's basically a Fiat 124 which was adopted for the market of the SSSR, e.g. had thicker steel, a raised suspension and drum brakes on the rear axis. In addition, for very cold temperatures they had crank to start the engine in case the battery was too weak. Also the engine was more modern (at the time) compared to Fiat.
