Russia: The ZIS-115 armored limousine used to serve the late Soviet leader Stalin was found one day after being stolen in Moscow.

The ZIS-115 was discovered in another garage in Moscow on December 28, Russian media reported. A day earlier, six thieves broke into a garage north of Moscow and took the armored limousine. The thieves are said to have used a truck to drag this ZIS-115 weighing up to 4.2 tons to the hiding place.

It is unclear whether the group of thieves had planned to bring the car to the new garage or simply left it there because of a stir in the Russian media. No suspects have been arrested.

ZIS-115 was a limousine manufactured in 1949-1955 for high-ranking Soviet officials. The armor of the vehicle is very thick, able to withstand FMJ rifle bullets from a distance of 25 meters or a grenade explosion under the vehicle.

This version includes only 50 cars and the stolen vehicle was once used by the late leader Joseph Stalin, estimated to be worth about $ 2.8 million.

The car is believed to be owned by the head of the security forces for Ukrainian businessman Ruslan Tarpan and he is under house arrest. The car has not been running for 10 years and has no registration.
