I lived in Kyiv for 3 years and regularly travelled to Moscow for business. I was able to see a fair bit of the place and can say that it is a really great experience. There is a train from Moscow to St Petersburg and vice versa but it takes about 10 hours. St Petes is also a great experience but if you are visiting you need at least 2 days at the Hermitage to do it justice.
St Petersburg has the potential to be a real jewel if there was some money available to spend on infrastructure and cleaning up the stench from the network of canals.
While the time constraints do not permit a good poke around the trip is still wothwhile.
Enjoy it if you can get there.
