Both are legacy names.

Министерство путей сообщения --> Ministry of Railway Transport (now an agency within the Ministry of Transport)

Министерство связи --> Ministry of Communications (now Министерство информационных технологий и связи/Ministry of Information Technologies and Communications)

reminds me of an english translation of a russian document I came across a couple of years ago where it was translated (probably by automatic translation) as "The Ministry of the Way of the Message". My customer who does not understand a word of Russian thought this being a VERY ROMANTIC name for a state agency :-)
