This monograph deals with issues of concern in the rewriting of the
20th century history of Mongolia. It provides interpretations of
the activity of the Third Communist International (the 'Comintern')
in Central Asia and of the politics of Soviet Russia towards the
East, using original research based on previously inaccessible
material from the Comintern archives. The book covers the 1920s and
1930s, when Mongolian society was in transition from a theocratic
monarchy to a republic. It describes the strategies of
non-capitalist development undertaken in order to build socialism,
and illuminates the political, military and economic aspects of
Mongol-Soviet relations. Particular emphasis is placed on the way
the Comintern and Moscow interfered in the political struggles
among the Mongolian elite, and determined the policy of social
transformation in this nomadic society. The emergence of the
Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, its coming to power, and
its complete domination of the capital city and peripheral regions
is decribed in detail. The politics of the MPRP towards the
Buddhist monasteries and lamas is also given special attention. The
central issue of the work is the problem of Mongolian nationalism
and the tactics employed by the Comintern in dealing with it. A
wide and useful bibliography is included and the book is
illustrated with contemporary photographs of Mongolian
revolutionaries and of Comintern activists in Mongolia. This book
is No.3 in the Inner Asia Book Series, published for the Mongolia
and Inner Asia Studies Unit at the University of Cambridge under
the general editorship of Professor Caroline Humphrey. The Series
is an adjunct to the journal Inner Asia from the same Unit.
