Thanks for your advices; I hope share the trip with some of you.
I began a page to coordinate
Regarding the prices of the train I found it is very (very) varying,
from 150 € to 4300 €, and depends of many parameters like if it is a
global ticket or tickets for local sections, if you buy it on the Web or
in train stations, if you speak Russian, the period in the year, etc. so
a deeper investigation is needed.

This sounds like an amazing adventure, A couple of
years ago this
would have been very tempting, I envy those of you who will go this
way. If there are several of you it might be possible to sort out WiFi
perhaps one of those satellite connections?

I hate you, now I'm considering it.
That being said, it would more expensive than the plane from the
price I could find (as the tickets are one way tickets and the
plane it's a round trip) and that it doesn't all the extras you'd
have over the two weeks.
But still, that is an awesome idea :D
