"In my observation, some variation of brown is most common (anywhere from to very dark) with darker shades of eye more of the norm. However, I've seen them anywhere from true blond/blue eyed all the way through black hair/dark brown eyes. The latter is relatively uncommon."
The Caucasus are basically a melting pot for a number of different ethnic strains. Not just Caucasian (Georgians, Chechens, etc.), but Iranic (like the Sarmatians and Western Scythians-nearest descendants probably the Ossetians), and others. I wouldn't be surprised if the blond hair/blue eye combo was the result of Iranic blood.
"In Moscow, you cannot much distinguish them from any other given Russian."
Unless maybe you're an anthropologist or ethnographer who's been trained to differentiate between the various specific racial types.
