As for foreign drivers' licences in Russia, as far as I know, the UK participates in the Vienna Convention on Road Traffic of 1968.
In accordance with the Convention, a contracting state shall recognise - any domestic permit conforming to the provisions of Annex 6 to this Convention; - any international permit conforming to the provisions of Annex 7 to this Convention At the same time, foreign driver's licences are not replaced by Russian ones, unless otherwise stipulated by international treaties of the Russian Federation. The difference between the Russian motorbike and automobile licence is in category of the document. Motorbikers hold permits of category A.
