"Soviet Constituent Entity" covers a multitude of sins, of both omission and commission.
Some day, I'll tell you the story told to me by a good friend's grandfather -- a grand old man familiar to anyone who has even held a Mongolian awards booklet, as it likely bears his signature -- who was in the room when Choibalsan slapped the Tuvan "leader" to the floor, literally, and then, using every inventive vulgarism known to the Mongolian language, kicked him around that same floor for his treason to the Mongol people for becoming a part of the Soviet Union and not maintaining independence.
And, then, there is the tale of the Mongolian effort to reannex "Inner Mongolia" after WWII.
