I have simple needs. I want to pre-buy 2 adult and 2 children's one way train tickets from Novosibirsk to Vladimir. I have studied the Russian train Sticky and tried hard on the rzd.ru website. But I can't see how you do it. On that site, I click "English" and it has tabs for tickets and passengers. But both of them lead to more publicity, not a place you can buy tickets.

If we can pre-buy this ticket within 30 days of the travel date things may fall into place. We have already bought one-way air tickets from Moscow to Chicago and one way air tickets from Seattle to Tokyo via Honolulu, as well as train tickets from Chicago to Seattle.

Several pointers. Tickets can be ordered on the rzd.ru website up to 45 days in advance of travel. I am pretty sure that the website pages for ordering tickets online are NOT in English.

If you read Russian, start with this page: http://ticket.rzd.ru/wps/portal/pp which states that in order to purchase tickets you must register. To register, go to this page: http://ticket.rzd.ru/wps/portal/register

If you don't read Russian, try using the translate.ru website.

Are you sure there are direct trains between Novosibirsk and Vladimir? If not you will need to buy two separate sets of tickets.
