Because of the ability to use Nivas for trips, events, trials, etc - not to mention the need for aftermarket support groups - there is a astonishing number of Niva clubs and forums around the world. In addition to the obvious Russian/Slavonic speaking groups, there are many others (on-line translators at bottom of page).
Is your Niva club or forum missing, or details incorrect? Please contact me.

forum - Once the main English speaking Niva forum (with helpful advice
and great attitude) but now run by a paranoid person who bans people left right
and centre for seemingly no good reason and without
warning, so sadly is the forum is now largely useless other
than the archives - most users now use the Lada

Translator tips:
Niva often translates as "field" or "cornfield" from
Russian.
"W-Niva" translated from Russian refers to the Chevolet Niva.
Differential translates as "bridge" from Russian, Locker as "blocker",
and Transfer-case as "razdatka".
If you start reading about Hippopotamus' & Crocodiles, a Hippo is Russian
slang for the 3-door Niva, and Croc for the 5-door.
Avoid talking about the "driver's side" or "passenger's side"
and stick to the "right side" and "left side" to avoid confusion
between those of us who drive on different sides of the road (fyi the side of
a vehicle is determined from the driver's perspective, not
from standing in front of the vehicle looking at it).
