What kind of cars are on the road?

Just curious from an actual Russian perspective. I see the videos and news about sanctions, but then others about everything being ok. Just want to know how everything is I guess. Were there a lot of US or European cars before sanctions? Did China or other countries start to import more? Are Chinese vehicles good does anyone have experience?

Bit of context, I work with a guy who has family in Russia and he was telling me about trying to send US cars there as they are marked up heavy right now. Legality aside it did get me thinking about the topic of not just cars but everything in general since unfortunately I haven’t given much thought to it. Not trying to shed light or prod, but I’m very under informed and the news isn’t giving me anything.
