Salamova flew into Moscow on Monday, arriving in Russia for the first time in 11 years. Her plane was bound for Sheremetyevo Airport, not Domodedovo, which saw a bomb attack the same day.
Salamova's plight sparked a heated debate in Norway, with local authorities claiming they upheld the law and critics saying her human rights were violated. Diplomats said only her celebrity status differentiates her from hundreds of illegals quietly deported from Norway every year.
Salamova's family moved from North Ossetia to Finland in 2000. Her parents, Khetag Salamov and Yelena Gutiyeva, remain in hiding in Norway.
