this may offer some guidance
https://www.seat61.com/Russia-trains.htm
another source--https://www.russianrail.com/
or this --https://www.russiantrains.com/en/page/types-trains-russia
Hopefully there is someone on the forum who has 1st hand experience with train travel in Russia to offer help as I have none
Good luck!

The official site of Russian Railways is rzd.ru, with online purchasing at http://pass.rzd.ru/main-pass/public/en

If you go to the Man in seat 61 site referenced above , there is a direct link right there for ticket purchase via Real Russia . I used them recently to buy my Moscow to St Petersburg " SAPSAN " tickets . It was an easier site to navigate , and the pricing was fair . Response and confirmation from them was quick and efficient
