Is the Georgian- Russian border crossing open now? (near Kazbegi, not via South Ossetia)?

Question

I want go to Russia, by car, via Georgia.

Answer 1

i don't think so, ossetia is in bad relation with georgia

Answer 2

I really doubt it as there is some tension between Russia and Georgia right now.  Something about unauthorized flights over airspace.  The best information will come from the embassy website.  This link is in English.

You may also want to check out the US Embassy site and phone number as they always have good information about travel concerns.  They also tend to answer the phone and the Russian Embassy does not.  This is the link to the consulate in St. Pete. Russia.

If your not a US citizen you may want to try your home country consulate in either Georgia or Russia.

Good Luck and be safe.
