Formal name of the treaty is "Treaty between the People's government of Mongolia and Soviet government of Soviet Union about establishing friendly relationship between Mongolia and Russia". In 1922, Mongolia and Russia opened their embassies in each other's territory.
The aims of two sides- and how it was achieved edit
In strengthening the independence of Mongolia that was announced in 1911, 1921 year's people's revolution played crucial role and contributed hugely in Mongolia's process of creating government and act as the subject in international relations. During the times when great nations were seeing Mongolia as the strategically important area due to its geographical, physical and political qualities, and was in danger of possible attack and invasion, Mongolian government resulted that partnering with Soviet Union was the best resolution to protect the impendence and safety of the nation and made this decision. Following this decision, Mongolian government sent Mongolian representative to Soviet Union on the 15th of October in 1921 and on the 5th of November 1921 the treaty was signed. This was the first treaty signed of Mongolia as a state with its full independence. It was also the first treaty that both countries were granted regarded equal on the legal basis. Many researchers agree that since this treaty became the basis legal document defining the diplomatic relations between two countries in the most lethal times between two countries' relations, and involved exchanging the diplomats and consul representatives, two countries acknowledged each others independence and this is also reasonable conclusion that can be withdrawn.
The process of the signing of the treaty edit
On October 1921, the representative of People's government lead by prominent figures including the minister of Finance S.Danzan, Mininster of Soldiers' embassy D.Sukhbaatar, vice minister of Foreign relations B.Tsenddorj arrived at Soviet Union and signed an friedly agreement. One significant clause of the agreement included content about Mongolia lending from Soviet Union. In additional protocol of the agreement of "about strengthening the friendly relation between two countries", decided to state that Soviet Union giving monetary support amounting 1 million Rubel to Mongolian government. The loan was given to Mongolia with 4 years of repayment period starting from the given day which is the 1st of January of 1922 and also stated that repayment must be in the form of livestock, diary products and others. Two countries agreed upon keeping this additional protocol in secret. Soviet Union usually made lending decision after evaluating more on the political outcome rather than economic. 13 days before appointed meeting date, G.V Chechering, the Foreign affairs' commissioner stated on the letter to Lenin "The Mongolian People's Revolutionary Government is the one of the biggest cards in our cards. Through this country our vast border line is shielded and exist in whole secure state. Thus please agree to accept the envoy from this country." The decision to write off the 5 million Rubel debt that Mongolia got from the Russian Empire was very fortuitous opportunity for Mongolian that was just starting developing . This was the first time in Mongolian history when huge amount off debt being written off.
The Result of the Treaty edit
Through the agreement, diplomatic relations between two countries were established and in 1922, both in Capital city of Mongolia which was named "Niislel Khuree" during that time and, in Moscow embassies of two countries were built. This was the first event that foreign country accepted new Mongolia as the independent country and bears strong significance since it established the foundation of strengthening the freedom and security of the Mongolia as the independent nation.
