Black Volga

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A black Volga

The legend of the Black Volga is a modern legend that was widely spread in Poland from the 1960s to the 1980s.

According to her, after sunset, a black Volga brand sedan (GAZ 21 or GAZ 24) drove through the streets and abducted children. Depending on the version, the car was used by priests, Jews , vampires or satanists . The inmates hid their faces behind white curtains in the rear side windows. Regardless of who was being chauffeured there, he drained all of the blood from the abductees and then made it available to rich Germans suffering from leukemia .

In some variants, the victims were stripped of their internal organs, especially the kidneys. In other cases, the driver asked passers-by the time. If they told him this, the time of day would automatically change to their own time of death on the following day.

According to supporters of conspiracy theories , the modern legend was started by employees of the Polish State Security in order to give a semblance of unbelievability to real, secret arrests and abductions using cars popular in the state apparatus. The black Volga was also the official vehicle of Soviet officials who were seen in Poland as representatives of an occupying power. A black Volga never came into private hands.
