Hey, great news, congratulations. The world's greatest wilderness is at your feet! Don't stay in St. P too long!!!
@motorieter: the Kharkiv - Belgorod crossing is a major one and therefore more likely to be busy. If things are back open as normal next year, there are lots of other, quieter border crossings you can use. I crossed at Veliky Pisarivka - Grayvoron during the early part of the 2014 conflict and I was the only person at the crossing. Three years ago I crossed at the most easterly Russia - Ukraine crossing which is under government control and open to foreigners at Bugayevka - Prosyane. Also pretty quiet although it takes you through northern Luhansk region which must be one of the most neglected corners of Europe, pretty much the worst roads I have ever seen. But hardly any queues!
