New Chevrolet Niva nothing will break through the bureaucratic barriers. The management of AvtoVAZ has been looking for investors for a long time for a project of a new-generation Russian-American SUV. However, as they say, things are still there. Currently, an application has been filed for serious negotiations at the highest level on securing production. Chevrolet Levels State guarantees. This application was received yesterday at the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of the Russian Federation from the head of ZAO GM-AvtoVAZ, Romuald Rytvinsky. What do these warranties mean? And the fact that the bank that invested in the project, even if the project fails, will receive money invested by it from the state, that is, it will not lose anything from it. The bankers themselves, at least those whom the management of Avtovaz addressed, see in the project новопоколенной Шнивы only a dark horse on which it is dangerous to put. Therefore, they are interested in public security of their investments. 
Representatives of the ministry said that they were ready to advise the automaker’s leadership on the paperwork needed to obtain state guarantees. In short, the bureaucratic machine rolled on itself further.
The head of the Samara region, N. Merkushkin, last June announced the approximate amount of investment that production would require новопоколенной "Шнивы". It was then about twelve - fourteen billion rubles. The project leaders were hoping for financial assistance from Vnesheconombank, but analysts of the latter decided that the risks of losing the invested funds were too great and therefore refused to provide a loan to automakers. 
Partially finance production новопоколенной Шнивы Sberbank was previously ready. At least in June, the Russian government instructed to decide on the investors of the project, and then Sberbank did not say no, but agreed to participate financially. Although that for Sberbank, this tiny amount by his standards - 12-14 billion? With its multi trillion assets. But for some reason, bankers are huddling, maybe they don’t get money from their investments in this case?
In general, only the leadership of the Samara Region and Romuald Rytvinsky actively advocate for the project. It's hard to say how they will succeed.
The current version of Shnivy, by the way, is in quite good, and most importantly, steady demand among Russian motorists. So, from January to June 2016, dealers sold out nearly fifteen thousand of these Russian SUVs. In the top five in the segment of the most popular crossovers Shiva the third is stable for quite a long time. And in the ranking of the most popular vehicles sold in Russia, irrespective of the type of car, it ranks ninth.
