Revolution

On 1920 November 22, Damdin Sükhbaatar and Khorloogiin Choibalsan returned to Mongolia from Irkutsk and began planning an uprising from Hiagt against the Mongolian feudal nobility led by Baron Ungern and the Bogd Khan. They began publishing the newspaper Mongolian Truth (Mongolyn Ünen), which denounced the imperialists and nobility.[1]
