There is the so called Schengen/Russian federation treaty for visa issues. What you need is a Transit visum, they have a fixed price of € 30,=. Just apply for it yourself at Russian embassy, easy. Ask for 2 days, officially it is 1day per 500km of distance but normally 2 days will be no problem. To go around st.P is quick with the new highway as is the new borderceossing at the Russian side. The EU side takes the most time but all together I think yiu will be out and in within 2 hours.
