The BBC recently reported from Vladivostok and showed a clip of a lady in a right-hand drive car. Is this part of Russia right-hand drive (It is very close to Japan after all) or was it probably just an import car?

Although Russia drives on the right, cheaper used cars from Japan are almost as popular as LHD cars of the same class. Russia is estimated to have more than 1.5 million RHD vehicles on its roads. In the far eastern regions, such as Vladivostok or Khabarovsk, RHD vehicles make up to 90% of the total. This includes not only private cars, but also police cars, ambulances, and many other municipal and governmental vehicles.
