Part of my family is from Ukraine. A couple of the men have married Russian women. It leads to interesting discussion. Have not heard about Harley, though maybe they did make some there around or after WWII?

Harley's were shipped to Russia in WWII along with Sherman tanks, Studebaker trucks, P-39 fighter planes and a shitload of other war supplies. But, the H-D's as were the tanks, trucks, airplanes, etc. were made here in the USA.  The link list tons of material shipped but oddly does not list motorcycles.

Never made any harleys in Russia. They made a copy of BMW side car bike
 Ural or as we call it Anal, that are totaly junk
Stalin told the russian people the Willys Jeep was russian. Made in a secret
factory behind Ural mountains

Stalin, and Russia in general, is much like that little fellow called "Rocketman" and North Korea; if you listen to them, they are the center of the universe, and everything came from there...including mass graves. No Harleys were ever built in Russia. At least not without being copied.
