In addition to the likelihood of cold spells, you may (depending on when the spring starts) also be riding through the last of the snow in places, meaning there will be a lot of dirty slush and melting piles of snow. This is generally the worst time to be in Russia, in my opinion. If you delay your trip by a couple of weeks it would be far more enjoyable I believe.
