Well getting to Poland shouldn't be that hard. From Warszaw or Cracow there's at least trainconnection to Moscow. Or you could just could go via Baltic states and take a train from Tallinn (Estonia) to Saint Pete. However I've heard that the train connections and railways in Latvia and Lithuania aren't teh best of the kind. So taking a bus maybe wouldn't be too harmful -Eurolines it is.
