Ollie Lawrence scored a first-half hat-trick after Scott van Breda had opened the scoring with a seventh-minute solo effort.
The Russian club got themselves on the scoreboard early on as well, thanks to a Ramil Gaisin kick resulting in an Earll Douwrie try.
Fly-half Gaisin proceeded to add the extras, and then kicked a penalty on 16 minutes.
But in the second half, it was all one-way traffic, with tries from Marco Mama, Jamie Shillcock, Isaac Miller, Will Butler and Noah Heward, who scored twice – making that three in two matches for him.
The Russian club, bottom of the pool with zero points, have now lost all 14 of their away games in the competition – while Worcester have lost just one of their last 11 home games.
