"Irkutsk can be called the first town in Russia (after St Petersburg) where the official teaching of the Oriental languages for interpreters began in the e3arly XVIIIth century. The most studied langauge in Irkutsk was Mongolian for the purpose of propagation Christianity among the Buriyat aborigines and to connect with the Chinese Ch'ing Empire's governors inUrga.
