40 years since a premier Expedition Adam'84
The Czechoslovak 'Visitors' or Expedition Adam'84, famous Si-Fi series, originally ‘Návštěvníci’ with LADA Niva as a time machine, dates 40 years since a premier in 5 November 1983.
Czechoslovakian director Jindřich Polak turned on the iconic Soviet Lada Niva into a first-time-movie time machine. It has been filmed for a few years before Steven Spielberg and his Back to the Future trilogy. The heroes of the science fiction series " Visitors " get out on a scientific expedition from 2484 to 1984, back to Past to find the notebook of the young genius Adam Bernau for preventing a collision of the Earth with a comet. The expedition to the Past started on Lada Niva car imbued with futuristic technologies, including communication equipment.
The project had been realized in cooperation of Czechoslovak Television and the German public broadcasters Westdeutscher Rundfunk and Bayerischer Rundfunk. The regular sample of Niva car was given a more attractive look with percales and alloy wheels. Two copies were provided by the German side and the third car was purchased by the Barrand film studio. But originally guests from the future would arrive to 1984 in Skoda 120 model. But the Mladá Boleslav’s AZNPA automobile works did’t interest in such promotional, so that way make LADA Niva the series hero.

By the way, the series only released in the countries of the socialist camp - Czechoslovakia, Hungary, East Germany, Yugoslavia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, as well as Spain, Germany and Switzerland. But in the USSR that movie never one seen. Probably thanks to the abundance of erotic content performed by Dagmar Patrasova, who played one of the main roles, journalist-historian Emilia Fernandez.
