Pulkova 1 and 2 are easier to fly out of "with stuff" than is SVO in Moscow. I have flown out of both a couple of times and they always seem very lackluster. I have found this at the more regional airports too, the exception being Volgograd where they were very nosy about things being taken, though nothing was confiscated.
The best way to get stuff out is in St.pete; first, the train is a good bet. I have taken in to Finland and although customs gets on they don't seem to be able to match every bag with a person and so they did not search much.
Though I have never tried it, I imagine the best way must be the floating hotels / cruise ships i St.Pete. They stay there for a few days and I guess you could load up on whatever you wanted, bring it to you cabin, hide it under the bed so to speak, and sail off in the morning. I can't believe that anyone would check the entire ship nor every cabin. Anyone see a hole in this plan?
