I can't apply for Schengen visa here in Russia, cos first - I'm leaving very soon and it won't be ready, and second - I'm not yet sure about the dates.

Or I simply cant get it cos I'm not the British citizen?
I think a student visa, since it allows a temporary residence in the UK, would make it possible for you to get a Schengen visa in the UK. I know that it works the other way around - an Indian friend of mine had a German student visa and applied for a UK visa in Germany. It took a couple of days, but in the end it worked without a hitch.
