Outward Gaze. Forty years of Communism have not dimmed the charm, warmth and hospitality of the Mongolian people. They also retain an intense nationalism ("We feel close to Lenin," said one official, "because he had Mongolian blood on his mother's side"), which still arouses Russian .suspicion. A member of the Mongolian Communist Central Committee was expelled this year for ultranationalist tendencies. Pride in their country's achievements makes Mongols eager for contact with the rest of the world, and Mongolia has tried hard to establish diplomatic relations with the U.S. On the occasion of Outer Mongolia...

The Mongolian Reds also dared to criticize Red China for not submitting to Soviet ideological supremacy, and dutifully de-stalinized their own late dictator, Khorlogiin Choibalsan...
...Soviet Ambassador to Outer Mongolia from 1957 to 1960. In 1959 the Kremlin tried to make him ambassador to The Netherlands, Greece or Argentina, but all three governments refused to accept him because Molotov obviously did not enjoy the confidence of his own regime. While serving his Outer Mongolian exile, he suffered further ignominy: his name was dropped from the latest Soviet encyclopedia...
