About Khorloogiin Choibalsan
- Khorloogiin Choibalsan (Mongolian: ?????????? ?????????, spelled Koroloogiin Çoibalsan between 1931 and 1941 and ????????????????????? before 1931, (February 8, 1895 – January 26, 1952) was the leader of Mongolia and Marshal (general chief commander) of the Mongolian People's Army from the 1930s until his death in 1952.
- His rule marked the first and last time in modern Mongolian history that an individual had complete political power.
- Sometimes referred to as "the Stalin of Mongolia", Choibalsan oversaw Soviet-ordered purges in the late 1930s that resulted in the deaths of an estimated 30,000 to 35,000 Mongolians.
- Most of the victims were Buddhist clergy, intelligentsia, political dissidents, ethnic Buryats and Kazakhs and other "enemies of the revolution." His intense persecution of Mongolia's Buddhists brought about their near complete extinction in the country. Although Choibalsan's devotion to Joseph Stalin helped preserve his country's fledgling independence during the early years of the Mongolian People's Republic (MPR), it also bound Mongolia closely to the Soviet Union.
- Throughout his rule, Mongolia's economic, political and military ties to the USSR deepened, infrastructure and literacy rates improved and international recognition of Mongolia's independence expanded, especially after World War II.
