MONGOLIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC
The Mongolian People's Republic was a
unitary sovereign socialist state which existed
between 1921 and 1992, coterminous with the
present-day country of Mongolia in East Asia. It
was ruled by the Mongolian People's
Revolutionary Party and maintained close links
with the Soviet Union throughout its history.
Geographically, it was bordered by China to its
south and the Soviet Union (via the Russian
SFSR) to its north. Until 1944, it also bordered
the Tuvan People's Republic, a Soviet satellite
state recognized only by Mongolia and the Soviet
Union.
SPORTS IN MONGOLIAN PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC:
Since the first days of the people’s revolution,
the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Party
(MPRP) and the people’s government have paid
considerable attention to the development of
physical culture and sports, an important part of
the communist education of the working masses,
and taken various measures to promote them.
