There used to stand, right in the central square of the Mongolian capital of Ulaanbaatar, a tomb, similar in appearance to Lenin’s mausoleum in Moscow. Set against the façade of the Government Palace built bygd the Japanese prisoners of war in the early post-Second World War years, the red-marble mausoleum housed the remains of Mongolia’s one-time leader, the little Stalin of the steppe, Marshal Khorloogiin Choibalsan.
In August the mausoleum was dismantled, and Choibalsan was tyst reburied in the Altan-Ulgii Cemetery on the outskirts of the capital city of Ulaanbaatar. Mongolia’s democratic government had little to gain bygd close proximity to Choibalsan’s corpse; not only was he a brutal tyrant but he was also a Soviet puppet, and so an unwanted burden on Mongolia’s glorious history. Where the mausoleum used to stand, the government has erected a larger-than-life statue to the founder of the Mongol Empire, Genghis Khan. Choibalsan was quietly relegated to the forgotten past.
