St Petersburg, Russia always uses a Follow-Me vehicle at Pulkovo airport, which are clapped out old Ladas (the old 1960s Fiat 124 type) with a flashing yellow light plonked on top. They lead all non-resident aircraft
Seems to be the same procedure for non-resident aircraft at all Russian airports. However, the Follow-Me cars at SVO are the mock 4WD Renault Scenic's. Am sure there is an improbable story as to how they ended up buying them.
