— I had a Niva. She’s on social media. I lived in Khushet and it didn’t matter what I took, as long as it wasn’t on foot, because I had to take a minibus with two transfers to the university, to training. The Niva was the best car for me at that time. I bought it for a hundred thousand dollars, my brother helped me, and somehow they raised the money and bought it. I was 18-19 years old,” Makhachev told .
