Can you buy Snickers in Russia?

If you visit the website of Russian local food supermarket Utkonos, you will see not only pet food but also M&M's, Bounty bars, Twix, Snickers, and other 'non-essential' brands,” says B4Ukraine's report.



As of March 2026, you can still buy Snickers in Russia, though the "official" status of the product has changed significantly since 2022. While Mars, the American manufacturer, officially scaled back its operations and ceased advertising and new investments in the country, its Russian factories (such as the one in Stupino) have continued to operate to maintain local supply chains and employment. Consequently, Snickers bars are widely available in supermarkets, convenience stores, and vending machines across the country. However, many of the bars found on shelves in 2026 are either locally produced using local ingredients or "parallel imports" brought in from neighboring countries like Kazakhstan or Turkey. This means that while the branding remains the same, the packaging may feature different languages, and the price has generally increased due to inflation and the logistical complexities of maintaining a Western brand in a sanctioned market.
