The answer is YES.
It is not very modest, but I have _stepen kandidata filologicheskih nauk_
because I wrote _dissertacija na soiskanije uchenoj stepeni  kandidata
filologicheskih nauk_ and later I
_zaschitil dissertaciju na soiskanije uchenoy stepeni  doktora
filologicheskih nauk_
and when I wanted to have PhD in psychology I had problems with getting
doctoral degree and I had to write
_dissertaciju na soiskanije uchenoj stepeni  kandidata psihologicheskih
 nauk_
and now I am also _kandidat psyhologicheskih nauk_
and I can have the degree of doktor (if I want) only in five years.
They have rumours about cancelling this system but no one knows when it
happens.
