AZLK, an abbreviation for Avtomobilny Zavod imeni Leninskogo Komsomola, started its journey back in 1929 in Moscow, Soviet Union. Originally a car manufacturing company, their miniature toy models soon found huge popularity amongst collectors. The Moskvitch models, produced by AZLK, bore incredible similarity with the actual vehicle, making them a sought-after treasure for vintage enthusiasts. One interesting fact is that the miniature Moskvitch model was considered the unofficial toy car of Soviet Russia, cementing AZLK’s place in toy history. Despite experiencing a shutdown in 2001, their intricate and historically significant products continue to be a talking point in collector circles.
