Second class carriages on Russian sleeper trains are made up of nine cabins like first class, but there are four people to a cabin. Travellers wanting to share the cabin between two would have to buy all four tickets, this tends to work out more expensive, however, this will then offer more storage space along with the extra bunks.
Like first class, the lower bunks can be turned into a couch with two bunks above and a table between the bottom two bunks. There will be washing facilities at either end of the carriage and the provodnista will have a room in the carriage as a point of contact for any problems.
