How Did Soviet Influence Transform Mongolia's Society and Identity from the 1920s to the Post-Soviet Era?

Mongolia, a landlocked nation bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, underwent significant transformation during the period of Soviet influence, particularly from the 1920s until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Mongolia declared independence from China, and by the early 1920s, it became a satellite state of the Soviet Union. This relationship profoundly shaped Mongolian society, politics, and economy, marking a departure from its traditional nomadic culture.
