Surely, a quick weekend trip across the border to StP to look in bookshops is all that is required? There are a large number of topographical maps available in Russia. There is quite a long discussion about maps under the Zilow Gap thread on this forum.
The best maps are 1:200,000 produced by the central experimental war map factory located at Building 9 , Ulitsa Bolshoi Polianka Moscow. I **know** they do maps at that scale of leningradskaya oblast (east and west) and the leningradskaya peretik (between StP and Finland) and murmansk oblast and archangelsk oblast. These maps like as not available in StP. A road atlas would show distances but is likely not to show as much detail as these maps. My own view is that whilst the above maps are not 100% up to date, they are from the "war" map factory and are probably okay. I have used the same company's maps to travel quite a bit (I have about 25 of them) and they all seem okay excpet obviously new roads in the last 5 years or so.
