Vehicle History Writer
About
Misha Lanin is an automotive journalist with roots in New York City and St. Petersburg, Russia. His infatuation with questionable vintage vehicles began at the age of 16, when he and his father purchased three two-stroke mopeds from the 1970s (which they attempted to restore on a Brooklyn sidewalk with mixed results). Between semesters at Skidmore College, Misha spent his summers in Russia, where he endeavored to own Soviet classics like the ZAZ 968, Moskvich 408, Lada 21011. These experiences inspired him to cover car culture for Jalopnik, resulting in stories about New York City, Finland, and Russia. Misha has expanded his portfolio and now shares his automotive knowledge with Vehicle History.
