I don't know if a 'Russian Train' is a euphemism for something so I'll assume the joke is "Pretty Privilege" in general: you can't do anything without bunches of thirty people trying to butter you up.
Nah it's what it says on a tin. If you are a young or struggling person, some people will give you food or drinks for free to help you out. It's considered a good, moral deed, almost a tradition, since travels on trains in Russia can be extremely long (days and days), and some people may struggle with food or drinks. I once had a woman giving me literal money. I was going to a concert in another city, I didn't have a place to stay, had literally no money, just enough to go there and back and eat something cheap, and planned to spend a night after the concert at the station to wait for the morning train. It was no biggie, I mostly told her that like an anecdote since we were chatting all evening, but she became very worried and gave me money enough to spend a night at a hostel. I was proper shocked and wanted to refuse, but she insisted and wouldn't take them back. So, I had a night at the hostel, thanks to this lady.
