Mercedes O325 buses were built in Turkey at the local Mercedes plant in 1988 - 1996 and were delivered to Russia in 1994-1996. About 400 pieces ended up in Moscow, about 150 each in Ufa and Kazan, and they were also sent to other cities in smaller batches.
In Moscow, Mercedes with a tall floor and a very unusual appearance against Ikarus and Liaz ran until 2011, after which some of them were given to other cities, but most were decommissioned.
To date, the transport community is aware of only 27 surviving O325 buses in the world (according to the fotobus website).
The hero of this video has been preserved in the 16th bus depot of the city of Moscow and serves as a mobile canteen for linear bus drivers.
Of course, the bus does not last forever, but when its service life comes to an end, it should take its rightful place in the Moscow Transport Museum: there it can be used for its intended purpose (as a canteen) and feed museum visitors delicious buckwheat or barbecue.
