First class carriage compartment
<space=1em><b>Highest comfort</b>
<space=1em>In pre-revolutionary Russia, passenger carriages were divided into I, II, III and <nobr>IV class</nobr>. As a rule, the privileged <nobr>public traveled in carriages of <nobr>I and II class</nobr> —</nobr> nobles, merchants, distinguished citizens, officers, industrialists. The <nobr>commoners</nobr> —</nobr> peasants, workers, small shopkeepers, servants — traveled in carriages of <nobr>III and IV class</nobr>. Moreover, <nobr>class IV</nobr> carriages were mainly used in the late <nobr>19th —</nobr> early <nobr>20th centuries</nobr> for transporting peasant settlers who, as a result of the reforms of Witte and Stolypin, went from Central Russia to Siberia and the Far East to develop uninhabited but rich territories.
<space=1em>The compartment of a <nobr>class I</nobr> carriage was the most comfortable on the railways. A ticket here cost about one and a half times more than a <nobr>class II</nobr> ticket, and two and a half times more than a <nobr>class III</nobr> ticket.
<space=1em><b>Chair-beds</b>
<space=1em>Chair-beds were developed to increase the comfort of <nobr>class I</nobr> passengers. They were used for sitting during the day, and unfolded for sleeping at night. Carriages with such places were called "chair-bed carriages". The chairs were located in a common room and were staggered along the entire carriage. One way or another, the chair-bed carriages were not comfortable enough for a full rest on the way. Therefore, it was decided to abandon the chair-bed carriages and replace them with sleeping carriages.
