Tchita, with a population of about 350,000, has been the capital of the Transbaïkalie krai since 2008. It is located at km 6 198 of the Trans-Siberian Railway. From the 1930s until the fall of the USSR, the city was not only closed to foreigners but also to ordinary Soviet citizens. Travellers who like to get off the beaten track should be aware that the city is opening up very timidly to tourism. Its almost virgin natural spaces, its past linked to the katorga and its old-fashioned atmosphere, with palpable Asian influences, make it an interesting trans-Siberian stopover. You will discover, among other things, the memory of the Decembrists. Also, from the 1850s, Tchita is a revolutionary bastion in the making: important workers' movements rumbled there and then burst out until the beginning of the 1920s.
