paperwork for Russia
I'm sure a carnet might be helpful, but it is definitely not needed.
We also entered Russia 3 times in the last 6 months with an Oz registered car, and All I give them at the border crossing is a photocopy of my rego papers. All they want to see is the registration number, vin/chassis number, make etc.
For info as well, we have an IDP, but no-one ever asked for it. If anyone wants to see a licence, I give a colour laminated copy of my Oz licence and thats it.
Another tip for driving in Moscow, as I learnt today. I made an illigel u-turn on one of the ring roads today. I tried to spot the police before I did it, and didn't see any. (The roads were quiet...a Saturday morning). They must've been hiding somewhere, because a few minutes afterwards I got pulled over. the fine would've been 1500 roubles, but after a few harsh words from myself, I got away with it...So if you think there are no police around, think twice.
