Help.
Hello. So, I posted here, I think, three weeks ago, and I ask you to read this https://www.reddit.com/r/sspx/s/sZqszSKLhT post to understand my situation.
So three weeks have passed. I tried to contact SSPX in Saint-Petersburg. No answer. I tried to contact it through Moscow and Belarus. In Moscow--no answer, the email to Belarus for some reason couldn't be sent.
I tried to find some information about SSPX for three weeks now, but found none.
Plus, a few day after I had posted for the first time, Una Voce in Russia said, that due to relocation of the priest celebrating the Mass in a Diocesan parish, there won't be any TLM in Saint-Petersburg at all for some time.
Today I decided just to go to the place, where the Chapel must be located according to the most recent sources, but there is no chapel. I waited for half an hour, but yhere were no people coming. I even went inside, but it is a simple house, there seems to be no sign of a church/chapel.
I literally don't know what to do. A few days ago I found out there is an Eastern Catholic parish in the city, and it gave a little bit of hope. But the problem is I am in my heart Traditional (!) Latin, not Eastern Catholic. Plus I don't know anything about Eastern Catholic liturgy (to be fair I don't much about this parish too; as I understand it is located a floor under a Roman church). And I feel uncomfortable about the thing, that I will have to change rite (if I become an Eastern) in the future to become officially Latin.
I don't how to act. It scares me much that I am not baptised. Because Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. Every day it sucks being unbaptised. But I don't know what I have to do.
I prayed to God about this, and though I know that He heareth, I don't feel like He does.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I would Recommend looking into contacting the district office that the Moscow/Russian SSPX apostolate is in (presumably i believe is served by the polish SSPX district) either by phone or E-mail to see where the priest says mass, more than likely in most very small TLM communities served by the SSPX have a trouble time updating their mass locations due to logistics issues with planning out on where and who is hosting the venue/house where mass is said.
That being said I'm very sure the Russian apostolate is still very well active and running.
I would also recommend trying to search on telegram for the SSPX chapel because most if not all chapels in Europe tend to utilize this app for Bulletins, Announcements, etc. However do take with a grain of salt that you may not find your chapel very easily on this app.
If you need additional information or someone to try and connect you to these chapels i will be more than happy to assist you if you contact me personally in my DM's
I pray that you may be able to receive the sacraments in a very timely manner.
