Can I go to Russia with a Schengen visa

You can't go to Russia with a Schengen visa.

According to the Schengen Agreement, a visa issued by any Schengen member country is also considered valid in all other member countries, and there is no need to apply for another visa. The country that implements this agreement is the so-called "Schengen country".

Russia is not a Schengen country, so you can't go to Russia with a Schengen visa. If you want to go to Russia, you must apply for a Russian visa.
