The ZIS-115 is a Soviet-built, armored version of the ZIS-110 limousine, designed and built especially for Joseph Stalin.

Stalin, paranoid about assassination, always rode in the rear of the car, seated between two armed bodyguards.

He never rode in the same armored ZIS two days in a row, and frequently changed the route driven from his home in Kuntsevo to the Kremlin.

[2] After Stalin's death in 1953, the armored ZIS limousines continued to be used for many years by successive Soviet leaders.

In 1955 Nikita Khrushchev donated 2 of these vehicles (which are on display in the Slovenian museum Bistra) to Yugoslav president Josip Broz Tito.
