On a popular St.Petersburg board, I had a conversation with a man working for Pulkovo airport owner. He wasn't willing to talk too much, but gave some hints:
1) Passenger traffic between St.Petersburg and New York does exist. 'Enough to fly at least thrice a week in the summer', as the guy wrote. NY is by far the most popular destination that has no direct connection to St. Petersburg.
2) Pulkovo management is passionate to find an airline that would launch the route, offering significant discounts for that.
3) Baltia, some time ago, dropped an office they used to lease in St. Petersburg airport, and the facility went to Emirates.
