Nyctc7 achieves a hard-won victory with Damdin Sükhbaatar, leader of the 1921 Mongolian revolution. Born the son of a day laborer, Sükhbaatar couldn’t afford an education (though eventually he taught himself to read) and spent his early years in deep poverty. As a poor worker he was abused and discriminated against by the feudal nobility, giving him a lifelong hatred of the upper classes and social injustice. After Mongolia declared independence from China in 1911, Sükhbaatar joined the Mongolian army. He distinguished himself as a talented military leader and soon became a commander, being repeatedly decorated for bravery. After he was demobilized from the army he went to work in a printing house. While there he gained access to Marxist literature from Russia and became a communist. When China reoccupied Mongolia in 1919, Sükhbaatar joined the underground resistance. In 1920 he was a founder of the Mongolian People’s Party. The party established ties with Soviet Russia and gained Russian support for Mongolian independence. After the Russian Civil War spilled into Mongolia in the form of Baron Ungern’s White Guards, the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Army led by Sükhbaatar drove out the White Guards and the Chinese with the help of the Soviet Red Army, reestablishing Mongolia as an independent state in the 1921 Mongolian Revolution. The Mongolian monarch, the Bogd Khan, was reduced to a figurehead and the MPP under Sükhbaatar’s leadership began transitioning Mongolia into a socialist republic. Serfdom was abolished, the privileges of the nobility were curtailed, and the MPP set about developing a modern form of government with a modern constitution. Unfortunately Sükhbaatar didn’t live to see this project through to its completion; he fell ill in 1923 and died at the age of 30, most likely from pneumonia. The scale of his public funeral was unprecedented in Mongolian history. The Mongolian People’s Republic was proclaimed one year later in 1924.
