Volkswagen: Decision for Russian factory made!

It seems like Volkswagen has finally made its decision to open a factory in Russia.
For a long time it wasn't clear where it will be build, but now a location seems to be found: Kaluga, 160 kilometers south-west of Moscow.

Planned production capacity is 250.000 cars per year (in 5 years). Models to be build are the Skoda Octavia and the VW Gol, until now only known from Brazil, but dedicated to be exported to other European countries.

Here is a Google-translated version of the original article.
