FWIW, I entered Kaz through the Omsk border crossing and exited back into Russia through the Orsk one. Both were absolutely fine with me, in fact they went out of their way to be nice.

Re the 'dumb American' (can't believe I'm sticking up for a dumb American!) - maybe chanting 'I don't understand' until they give you what you want just to get rid of you isn't quite so dumb after all. It certainly worked for me when the police in Kaz / Rus were trying to bust me for speeding / overtaking :thumbup1:

i htink border is more and more difficult to cross
Specifically, I want to know if I can cross the following border crossings:

-The road between Astrakhan and Aktau
-The road between Saratov and Oral, which crosses near the Russian town of Ozinki
-The road from Pavlodar east into the Altai Kray, towards the Russian town of Kulunda
-The road from Ridder (Leninogorsk, KZ) into the Altai Republic

Thanks for any info,

Daniel
