Russia: Nizhnevartovsk destroy Orenburg. Comeback for St. Petersburg over Ural Ufa

After three advances played yesterday, other two matches of Russian Superliga Round 22 were played today.
Yugra Samotlor Nizhnevartovsk literally destroyed last-placed Neftyanik Orenburg (25:12, 25:16, 25:12) while Zenit Saint Petersburg, penalized by absences (without Kliuka, not entered Urnaut and Poletaev, and with Kobzar used only in serving), struggled more than expected against Ural Ufa. In fact they managed to defeat the rivals only at tie break, with a comeback from 2-0 (25:23, 25:18, 22:25, 1925, 11:15).
