do you really think that was the only reason. yes, russians had some advantages over Mongolians. but remember at that time, mongolian conditions were shaky. No other country than Russia would have helped us to get our independence. We would have been chinese autonomy. there are always pros and cons. duu gej duudaad hereggui bh chatsuu bjiij.

if whites didn't escape to mgl, red commies wouldn't have sent a single troop to us.. that's what i call cold hard fact.. so that means you should thank those white soldiers instead of communism.. your comments suggest that you're pretty dumb and illiterate.. 3 words. read fucking more.. won't make you any smarter but at least you'll get the facts right..

just remember how we used to be before socialism. The government educated the most of the population. most of your parents got their education in Russia or in other socialist countries with 100% financial aids and scholarships. I doubt that Mongolia would have gotten its independence If socialism never existed in Mongolia.

we never reached communism. socialismiig bii bolgood communism-d hurehiig oroldoj bsan yum. the actual communism is absolute. our government which was socialist had given us the chance to have brighter future. it had given us the independence and development. all the apartment buildings, roads in Ub and other cities have been built by socialist government.

im not saying communism is the best but mongolia was much better than now when it was communist. i mean at least there was no poverty. we have a long way to go my fellow mongolians. but we can do it :)
