If your requirements are very specific, sa particular seat or a particular train (eg 2nd class ("coupe"), lower bunk on the Red Arrow) - book in advance. If you are just looking to get to Moscow from Spb, you'll get there.

The more expensive tickets (1st class - СВ) are very likely to be available.
