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

This industrial push sought to modernize the economy, moving away from dependence on pastoralism. However, this also introduced various challenges, particularly in maintaining a balance between industrial growth and traditional livelihoods. While some regions saw increased urbanization, many rural communities struggled to adapt to the shifting economic landscape.
