Jambyn Batmönch ( Mongolian Жамбын Батмөнх ; born March 10, 1926 in Chjargas, Uws-Aimag , Mongolia ; † May 14, 1997 in Ulaanbaatar ) was a politician of the Mongolian People's Republic .

Life

Batmönch joined the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MRVP) as early as 1948 and was initially a candidate for the Central Committee of the MRVP in 1971. Most recently he was rector of the Mongolian State University. In 1973 he was appointed head of the Central Committee for Science and Education.

His real rise began in 1974 when he became a member of the Central Committee of the MRVP and a member of the Politburo of the Central Committee and initially Deputy Chairman of the Council of Ministers. In the same year, on June 11, 1974, he succeeded Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal as Chairman of the Council of Ministers . Tsedenbal himself became chairman of the Great People's Shurals and thus President of Mongolia.

When Tsedenbal was released from his position as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the MRVP on August 24, 1984 at a special meeting of the Central Committee of the MRVP, Batmönch became his successor and thus party leader of the Communist Party. On December 12, 1984, he also succeeded Tsedenbal as chairman of the Great People's Chural, after the office of state president was temporarily exercised between August and December 1984 by Nyamyn Jagwaral. Tsedenbal's poor health was given as the official reason for the change of power.

One of Batmönch's first official acts was the reception for the then General Secretary of the Central Committee of the CPSU, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev , in Ulan Bator in August 1985 . As part of this reception, Batmönch assured the trusting partnership of the Mongolian People's Republic with the Soviet Union and as a partner in the joint efforts for peace and security in the Far East . In 1986 he paid a state visit to North Korea . As party leader, he took a tough stance against any Westernization and criticized the attitude of some unions to company policy in a speech at the 13th Congress of the Trade Union Confederation in May 1987.

After the collapse of communism , he lost his office as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the MRVP on March 14, 1990, first to Gombodschawyn Ochirbat and then on March 21, 1990 the office of President to Punsalmaagiin Ochirbat .
