Hi sorry for long delay to answer, I was travelling for few months and just back home from Africa.
Lots of bikes are trucked back and forth from Europe to the Russian custom union. It is no problem at all.
We used ADVFACTORY. In summer 2016 they had shipped about 40 bikes back and forth. Check their website. Some paper work is required but easy to organise this online and send pdf files of the bike docs and stuff like that. Very easy.
Also worth asking Muzto.ch in Osh ( Kyrgyzstan) as they sometimes organise transport back to Europe fo stranded travellers ( when their bike cannot be repaired locally ).
Good luck
