Don't panic! The route that your daughter is taking via Mongolia is the most popular Trans-Siberian route and she will be among plenty of other travellers.
The conflict between Russia and Georgia is, at the time of writing, confined to the separatist region of South Ossetia and the border with Georgia.
This is south of Russia and a couple of thousand kilometres from Moscow where your daughter will be. Check out the Department of Foreign Affair's Travel Advice pages for country-specific information and general travel advice: www.dfa.ie/home. As the majority of the trip will be through Russia I would reco m m e n d your daughter tries to learn some R u s s i a n .
Admittedly it's not the easiest language to pick up but the country can be a struggle as you are unlikely to come across any written or spoken English.
Ask her to keep in regular contact to minimise your sleepless nights, once a week should be fine. A good source of advice for her is www.gogapyear.com.
