Peljidiin Genden was a politician in the Mongolian People's Republic.

Prime Minister

New Course

The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party adopted the New Course in 1932 to allow peasants forced into collective farms to leave if they wanted as a response to ultra-leftist errors in the previous years. As Prime Minister, Genden distorted this decision and dissolved voluntary peasant cooperatives.[1]:337

Purge

Genden's anti-party group tried to undermine the alliance between Mongolia and the Soviet Union and slandered innocent people in the Lkhümbe affair. A plenary meeting of the Central Committee in 1936 exposed Genden's opportunist activities.[1]:347–8
