The answer is obviously yes, but the issue is whether we recommend it or not.
We do not recommend it for many reasons:
The question of language (A nightmare to understand the other russian drivers).
Second due to some different signs and the absence of roundabouts.
Third, because of the issue of insurance coverage, which can be very opaque.
In addition to what is described above, hiring vehicles with a driver in Russia is very cheap and easy, you just spend your time enjoying the views and not being stressed at the wheel.
