Who Really Rules: Mongolia is a communist state, governed by the Mongolian People's Revolutionary party since declaring independence from China in 1924. President Yumjagiyn Tsedenbal heads both the government and the party, but he actively rejects attempts to build a personality cult around him. The Soviet Union dominates Mongolia, although the two nations have a history of friendship dating back to Lenin's assistance in the fight against Chinese rule. Soviet troops are stationed near the Chinese border, and several thousand Soviet and Eastern European specialists help administer the Mongolian economy and government.
