Abstract
The Mongolian Peoples Republic (MPR), geographically a buffer zone between the Soviet Union and Communist China, has been a Soviet satellite of varying degrees of dependence since the Mongolian Revolutionary Army, assisted by Soviet troops, captured the old capital city of Urga in 1921 and established a provisional Communist government. Soviet dominance continued unchallenged until the Communists came to power in China during 1949. Throughout the 1950's China and the USSR were fraternalistic-at least ostensibly-so Mongolia worked to establish a policy of neutrality. As the intensity of the Sino-Soviet conflict increased, however, the MPR became correspondingly pro-Soviet; enough so that by the Mid1960's there was little doubt about Mongolia's chosen ally. Since 1966-and with a quickened pace during 1969-the USSR has continued to strengthen its controls over Mongolia's military, economic, and political policies. At this writing, Mongolia is clearly and unconditionally in the Soviet camp.
