TODAY’S WATCH

​

​

The Black Volga: The Cold War Car Everyone Feared
​Across the Soviet Bloc, people whispered the same rules:If a spotless black sedan with white curtains rolls up at night—don’t look, don’t answer, don’t linger.They called it the Black Volga. In this folklore retelling, we explore the legend and the world that birthed it: secret police and surveillance, disappearances no one dared name, and how an official’s GAZ Volga became a ghost story. We break down the “rules,” the theories (state agents, organized crime, occult, phantom car), the real history of the Volga, and why this myth still chills today.
