Question

What methods of transportation were used in Russia in the 1700s?

Answer 1

Same as everywhere else -- horse-drawn carriages and riding on horseback...  Pack horses were rarely used, as Russia is mostly flat.  Donkeys are uncommon in Russia, and thus there were no mules, either.

One peculiarly Russian mode of transportation was by barges that sailed the inland waterways drawn by humans walking on the bank:
