The Position of the Soviet Leaders about Instructors and Specialists in Mongolia in the Period of National Democracy and Left Experiment (1926-1932)
Abstract
This article analyzes the Soviet policy in Mongolia using organization of work with personnel as an example: instructors and experts were sent to Mongolia in the early period of socialistic modernization of the state. As long as instructors were the main executives of the Soviet policy the situation required a clear distinction of responsibilities and authorities with the local Mongolian staff during the work and, at the same time, an implementation of Soviet plans in political and economic spheres. All organizational matters were supervised by a special commission organized by the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of the Bolsheviks, Comintern employees, a Soviet trade representative in Mongolia, and Mongolian government.
The documents show a firm policy aimed to restraint "colonialist attitude" of Soviet specialists. The legal basis which regulated main functions of the expert group was signed in 1934 in a form of special agreement between the USSR and Mongolian People's Republic governments. Those agreements remained relevant in organizing Soviet labor migration to Mongolia during the second half of the 20th century.
