I climbed Cheget close to the Georgian border - not any military/police officer in sight, nor on Elbrus or on the way to/from Min Vody. In all honesty I must claim that the people I met were all very friendly. I think I only saw one military guy who was overweight and obviosuly was in charge of the barrier letting cars into Azau. He did not even carry his AK47.
One thing to cater for is of course to make sure that you have all your necessary docs 110% in order. I made tons of paper copies with all the docs, including my passport, page of the RU-visa, the OVIR, the letter from Pilgrim - everything, and stoved in various pockets and copies in my backpack as well as in my hotel. Also I scanned all my docs as JPEG's to my hotmail. This is my advice. Cheers, André
