The former Nissan plant in St. Petersburg, which AvtoVAZ became the new owner at the beginning of the year, is now called Lada St. Petersburg LLC. The resolution, which allows the use of the name of the city, was signed by the governor of the city Alexander Beglov.

“To allow limited liability company Nissan Manufacturing Rus to include Saint Petersburg in its official name,” Alexander Beglov said in a statement.
