Will it matter if I cross the Russian border 6 hours after my visa expires?

I am visiting Moscow, Russia and leaving on a specific date in July, per my tourist visa. I'll be leaving via bus, going into Lithuania.

I just realized that the bus leaves at 10:30pm the day my visa expires and won't cross the Russian border into Lithuania until 6am on the 27th. So my visa will be expired before I even cross the border.

Should I change my bus tickets? Or will the 6-hour overage probably not be a big deal? I really don't want to get stuck in Russia.
