The engine in RWD-era ladas is indeed design by Fiat, but for some reason they abandoned the design and opted for a OHV engine (dunno lol) in their 124. Some soures state that FIAT had intended it to use all-iron top and block, thus requiring leaded gasoline but lada changed it to aluminium, as "progress" was a ideology when they redesigned the Fiat 124 to be Vaz-2101
