are there some derivated from Lada models (apart the Pangolina)?

No. As far as I remember, there were no Ladas at all.
But an exposition of rescued an AZLK/Moskvich museum.
Some more protoypes. Sorry, the cars were too close to each other and I had just a simple pocket camera then.
Still hope to visit it again in august )
