Could someone please tell me where I should go in Irkutsk to get my British driving licence changed for a Russian one.

Is it easy to get it changed to a permanant Russian licence?

Thanks in advance.

Under the agreement with a number{line} of the countries, the foreign citizens having a driving licence, received in other country, can use them and in Russia. A driving licence received by foreign citizens abroad, in Russia are valid.

A UK (photo) License is valid in Russia provided you obtain an international driving permit from the AA or RAC. There should be instructions on their websites. There is no need to get a Russian License.
Getting a Russian License can be done in one of two ways...
1 Going to "auto school", taking your test and so on.
2 Having good contacts and around usd200(-300?).
In any case you'll need a medical spravka from a hospital (small charge) and some colour photos (unless they are now totally digital in which case none). Although its almost 10 years ago, I think I got 100% in my theory test!
