Previous editions of A1 Russian Open took place in the capital of Russia – Moscow.
This year A1 Russian Open it seems will take in Vladikavkaz which is the capital city of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia.
Vladikavkaz is just 760 km (by car) away from Sochi (Alexey Voevoda’s hometown), and considering the huge size of Russia, is like they are neighbor cities 🙂 (View the MAP below):

” Vladikavkaz (lit. ruler of the Caucasus) is the capital city of the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, Russia. It is located in the southeast of the republic at the foothills of the Caucasus Mountains, situated on the Terek River. Population: 311,693 (2010 Census);[4] 315,068 (2002 Census);[9] 300,198 (1989 Census).[10] Vladikavkaz is one of the most populous cities in the North Caucasus.
