Barev Dzes, Armenian Car people!

I have found it interesting, how the automobile Soviet heritage in Armenia looks like:

While there are thousands of Soviet cars in all sorts of state are running in Armenia, I often see lovingly kept or restored Ladas, mostly 06 and 07s... On the other hand, whenever I see a Volga (maybe with the exception of the few 21s), they are almost always bashed up cargo taxis or "dashti mekena". And while not few Ladas share this fate, I could not explain to myself why I hardly find well kept 24s or 31s, knowing that they are basically a higher tier car than the Lada.

Could someone share insights?
