| Annotation | The article examines the social and political transformation in Mongolia from the mid- 1980s, after the administration of Yu. Tsedenbal, leader of the Mongolian Communist party, when under the influence of the policy of perestroika in the Soviet Union after the plenum of Central Committee of CPSU in April 1985 where the large-scale economic reform in the country was declared, rejection from the deadlock way of minor adjustments to the centralized economy and political reforms initiated by the MRWP. At the same time, the article traces the process of party construction and creation of the multi-party system as a political foundation of the state and the evolution of the Mongolian People’s Workers’ Party from Marxism to social democracy. In its turn, all this created an illusion of an unlimited freedom within the Mongolian society. At the same time this process was accompanied by uncompromising struggle of rivaling political forces, followed by the deterioration of the economic situation in the country, mass unemployment, growing grievances of the masses over the absence of real democratic freedoms and weakening of Mongolia’s international position. On the other hand, a multi-party system and solid democratic institutions were created and the Mongolian society became open to the civilized world. |
