Funny but very good question... If you are in U.S. yes you can drive to russia you have to get to very west of Alaska and then drive over the ice during mid winter but for that you will have to drive like a snow machine or something there is no road there just ice and lots of snow. If you plow it and drive sure lol... as of the other locations Asia and Europe ofcourse you can.
