Annotation	The article considers one of the most difficult and dramatic periods in the history of Mongolia on the road to independence and sovereignty. The internal political struggle in the MPRP between the “right” and the “left”, the influence of the Comintern, political repression in Mongolia in the 1930s-1940s. The aggravation of the international situation related to the events at Khalkhin Gol had a significant impact on the political development of Mongolia. Particular attention is paid to political repression, which left a tragic trace in the history of Mongolia. Almost all segments of the population of Mongolia were subjected to repression, including the highest party-state leadership, Buddhist clergy, intelligentsia and well-off arats. The mistakes and excesses of the policy of the left-wing policy and the struggle against the lamas led to a large-scale “Khugsugul uprising” in 1932. During the political repressions in Mongolia, the Buryat population suffered much from the political regime, for political reasons, one of which was the fabricated “Case of Lhumbe”. The author came to the conclusion that political repression became an instrument in the internal political struggle against the opposition, strengthening of the personal power of H. Choybalsan and also squaring of personal accounts in the struggle for power.
Key words	political repression, internal political struggle, Choybalsan, Comintern, Mongolian revolution of 1921
