Train will be safe and cheap.

http://www.bahn.de/p/view/international/englisch/international_guests.shtml

will give you timetables (takes around 5-6 hours).

The Finnish railway site will give you train times and fares for trains to Russia here:

http://www.vr.fi/heo/eng/ita/ita.htm

58.80 one-way, second-class.

Both above sites in English.

If you look at the incredibly useful:

and scroll down, you'll find more info about this journey.

The cheapest way to get from Helsinki to StPetersburg is a bus. There are every days (even twice - at 12.00 and 22.00) bus departures from the center of Helsinki (near Finnkino). It would cost about 20euros. Or you could try group taxi (marchrutka) - it`a more comfortable, minivan for 8-12 people only. You`ll arrive also in center of Saint-Petersburg to Nevsky prospect. It cost about 30-35 euros.
