According to Wikipedia:
Helsinki has a population of 650,058 and is located at 60°10′15″N 24°56′15″E while;
Saint Petersburg has a population of 5,351,935 and is located at 59°56′15″N 30°18′31″E
Saint Petersburg is one quadrant south and one quadrant east of Helsinki, or the same quadrant as Moscow as you said.
The bay gets a little thin before Saint Petersburg, and there is a parallel passing exactly through it. I’m guessing that’s whats making Saint Petersburg appear more inline then it is, or—more accurately—makes the shoreline appear to be more to the west then it actually is.
