Khorloogiin Choibalsan (1895 February 8 – 1952 January 26) was a Mongolian communist.
Early life
Choibalsan was born in a peasant family[1]:278 and studied in Irkutsk, Russia, where he learned about the October Revolution. He also studied at the first secular school in Mongolia.[2]

Choibalsan joined a revolutionary group located in the consular quarter of Örgöö (now Ulaanbaatar) that included the teacher Dogsomyn Bodoo, the lama Darijavyn Losol, and some low-ranking officials. He first met Sükhbaatar in the fall of 1919, and his group merged with Sükhbaatar's group in June 1920 to form the MPRP. Three days later, he set off to Russia with Soliin Danzan to get support from the Bolsheviks. On July 22, his group met Sükhbaatar and other party members in Verkheudinsk (now Ulaan-Üde) and then went to Irkutsk. He stayed in Irkutsk with Sükhbaatar while other party members visited Moscow or returned to Örgöö early.[1]:278–82
After returning to Örgöö, Choibalsan exposed Baron Ungern as a Japanese puppet and enemy of the Mongolian people. The First Party Congress on 1921 March 1 appointed Choibalsan as commissar of the newly formed Mongolian People's Revolutionary Army under commander-in-chief Sükhbaatar.[1]:289–90
