The Mongolian People's Party (MPP) is a social-democratic party in Mongolia. Until 1990, it was a communist party known as the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP).

History

Formation

A joint meeting of Damdin Sükhbaatar's revolutionary group and Khorloogiin Choibalsan's Consul Group unified on 1920 June 25 to form the MPP. The initial party oath required each member to recruit at least 10 other members.[1]:279–80

Three days after the party was founded, Choibalsan and Soliin Danzan left to visit Russia. A second group of Sükhbaatar, Dogsom, Losol, Bodoo and Chagdarjav left soon after and met up with the first group on July 22 in Verkhneudinsk (now Ulaan-Üde) before going to Irkutsk. The party created a statement saying they would restore Mongolia's autonomy and abolish the rights of the feudal princes within two years while keeping the Bogd Khan as the nominal head of state. Some party members did not want to ally with the Bolsheviks, including Bodoo, who represented the feudal officials, and Danzan, who represented the small bourgeoisie. In August, Danzan, Losol, and Chagdarjav went to Moscow while Bodoo and Dogsom returned to Örgöö and Sükhbaatar and Choibalsan stayed in Irkutsk.[1]:280–2

The group that arrived in Moscow met Lenin, who said that Mongolia had to seek independence and ally with the workers and peasants of Russia. He criticized Danzan's nationalist views. In Mongolia, Bodoo began collaborating with Ungern's feudal dictatorship.[1]:285–6

People's Revolution

In November 1921, Lenin discouraged the newly founded MPP from changing its name to a communist party until the Mongolian proletariat embraced communism. In 1924, the party joined the Comintern as the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party.[2]
