	Irkeshtam, Fergana TK?
		Kyakhta had a telegraph office before it had a post office, and I'm sure there were other examples like that.
		I agree with Ivo about there being telegraph offices in remote corners of the empire, and it would make sense to have telegraphic communication to strategic locations even if regular postal service was not necessary.
		In regard to the Siberian telegraph offices that David mentions, Irkutsk and Kyakhta, these were certainly open in 1918-25 (Irkutsk) and 1915 (Kyakhta) as postmarks have been recorded from them - see pp.100 and 110 in my Siberia book.

		Appended to each protocol was a register of the precise definitions of the boundary, area by area, and sixty-three "beacons" were set up as border stones at vital points, with a description of the border inscribed on each in Russian and Chinese.
		The heart of the settlement was the commercial system, which according to the preamble to Article IV was specifically established in return for the frontier and fugitive settlements, that is, for Russian neutrality in Central Asia.
		The Treaty of Kyakhta obviated the inevitability of conflict by creating institutions that in and of themselves lacked cultural implications and avoided precisely those forms of contact in which intellectual or institutional conflict had already taken place.

	Stranded in Siberia - Page 3 - Salon.com
		Early written accounts of Siberia make no mention of the town because it was overshadowed by the bustling tea-caravan outpost in neighboring Kyakhta.
		Kyakhta's prominence eventually faded when train transport rendered the classic China-Russia tea-route caravans obsolete, but Naushki -- which took over as the train-stop -- never managed to live up to Kyakhta's memory.
		Thirty years ago, a Soviet-era journalist named Leonid Shikarev wrote that "Siberia always inspires hope for the future." Skeptics might attribute this notion to the fact that things in Siberia can't get any worse than the present.

	Pozdneyev: Mongolia and the Mongols
		Undoubtedly, however, it was not the Russians who gave Urga this name, and it was quite natural for the Mongols in ancient times to call this monastery-city Orgoo to distinguish it, as the residence of the Hutuktu, from all the other monasteries of Mongolia.
		Hides prepared in Irkutsk and Tomsk tanneries are in greatest demand, and of hides from Kyakhta only those of the Matreninskii tannery are in greater demand.

	Reviews - The Approaching Storm \| DC Metro Area Star Wars Collecting Club
		Before they set out, Bariss is kidnapped by two imbecilic Anwari outcasts hired for the job in order to force the Jedi to withdraw from the negotiations.
		Bariss is a practicing Jedi Healer, and Kyakhta's and Bulgan's mental infirmities prove to be amenable to her ministrations.
		These two become the most unlikely (and unbelievable) of guides; after years of mental cross-wiring, they conveniently remember facts, geography, zoology, and clan culture quite well when called upon to advise the Jedi.

		True, there is a scheming Hutt by the name of Soergg who is responsible for most of the trouble the Jedi encounter, but there's a plethora of plotting politicians of Coruscant as well, who are really pretty forgettable.
		Two supplementary characters, Kyakhta and Bulgan, begin as mindless servants of Soergg and are miraculously cured by Barriss' Jedi healing powers.
		But Bulgan genuinely feels appreciation, while Kyakhta seems to be considering the monetary gains of their trip.
