From a recent article. Remember that Russia is a very corrupt country:
An estimated 1.5 million stolen cars are being driven around Russia. The BMWs, Mercedes, Bentleys, Cherokee Jeeps or Humvees are often stolen to order in western Europe or the US, then brought across eastern Europe's porous borders.
Customs officers are paid off and the car is resold, with a new set of documents often supplied by enterprising police in Russia. The vehicle is registered in the name of someone who has died, or a homeless person.
