The motorcycle used by the Red Army before the Ural; the PMZ A-750 (or PODOLISKI), with a vee twin engine which was inspired by the American Indian motorcycles. It had 15 hp, 100km/h maximum speed (80 with the sidecar). The difference between the Indian and the Podolski is the frame, it is stamped steel sheet on the Russian bike. It was produced between 1935 and 1939; during the following years this bike was replaced with the well known flat twins of IMZ-Ural

The frame on the russian one looks like a ccopy of the early Zundapp the German army used which would tie in with the copy of the BMW made by Ural

Also there was the Polish built CWS "M-111" (1933) a copy of the Indian motorcycles, with a v-twin side valve engine of 14 hp (the sidecar in the picture was designated for the Polish mail service
