Ooh, you found some really old ones!

J is for Jaima

This is cheating, it should probably be spelled Zhaima when written in English, but There really isn't a letter J in Russian. Jaima is between Krasnoyarsk and Abakan in Siberia, and although I'd never heard of it 'til today, I think I might very well have passed through on the train. Strange!
