>had their own assigned garage nearby
They were wasn't "assigned". It was garage coops. People joined coop, it received land plot rent from towns authorities and they build garages on that plot for co-op members for their money.
Soviets lived in commieblocks, those didn't have garages so it's either parking on the street or that garage co-op.
Soviets didn't like to park car on the streets:
1. Theft.
2. Bad anti rust protection of Soviet cars + wet snowy wintes = car rust and Soviets expected their car to serve decades (muh precious treasure).
That garage co-ops had entire layer of their own culture (where is father of the house on weekends? Well he is in garage "working with car" aka drinking wih buddies ).
Today garage coops fell out of favor. Cars are more resistant to rust, they expected to serve less time, land is expensive, richfags can have mansions with their own garages. City folks just park cars near commieblocks on streets and drive ways now.
