Does every Russian verb have a perfective and imperfective form?

Not all the verbs in Russian have perfective and imperfective forms, but sometimes they change as for example the verb live: жить is imperfective, and it changes to проживать with the same meaning live in English but its perfective. you can say я проживала or жила. the first one is rarely used now, but means i have been living.
