Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal
Yumdschaagiin Tsedenbal ( Mongolian Юмжаагийн Цэдэнбал ; born September 17, 1916 in Davst, Uws-Aimag , Mongolia ; † April 10, 1991 in Moscow ) was a politician of the Mongolian People's Republic from the 1940s to 1984. During his political career he served as Prime Minister as well as first secretary of the Central Committee (ZK) of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MRVP).
Life
After Chorloogiin Tschoibalsan's death , he took over the office of head of government on January 26, 1952 and immediately proceeded to eliminate his political rivals: Daschiin Damba 1958/59, Daramyn Tumur-Otschiir 1962, Luwsantserengiin Tsend 1963, as well as the so-called "anti-party group" Loochuuz −Njambuu − Surmaajaw in December 1964. From 1958 Tsedenbal was First Secretary of the Central Committee of the MRVP and thus the most powerful man in Mongolia. On June 11, 1974 he took over the office of head of state.
Tsedenbal's foreign policy consisted of strengthening cooperation with the Soviet Union , even if he spoke out clearly against plans to integrate Mongolia into the Union. During the Sino-Soviet conflict , he resolutely sided with the Soviet side, thereby incurring the displeasure of China.
In August 1984, at the instigation of the Soviet leadership, he was forced to resign, allegedly due to his old age and waning mental faculties. Jambyn Batmönch then became First Secretary of the Central Committee of the MRVP. Tsedenbal stayed in Moscow until his death. His body was then taken to Ulan Bator for burial.
Tsedenbal was married to the Russian Anastasia Ivanovna Filatova. Due to her close ties to long-time Soviet head of state and party leader Leonid Brezhnev , she was seen by many as the most influential political figure in the Mongolian People's Republic.
