But somehow people buy and sell bikes here - they look for their countrymates or is the procedure different in the USA or Britain?..

From what I know, Russia's procedure is indeed a bit more difficult than other countries (you have to bring back the paperwork and the plates to get it off your name... and until then, you're expected to pay road taxes on it?).
Most foreign bikes sold in South America seem to be in North American plates - US or Canada - and bought with the vague idea that someone will eventually go back up to Alaska with them and change the ownership to their name.
