The researcher delivered. Thanks NB!
Scans of Ukaz containing names of lenins, october revolutions, red stars, etc. awarded to Mongolians in 1971: Based on 2 known data points (i.e. documented red stars awarded to Mongolians) it would appear that the range (at least for 1971 "mass awardings") for red stars awarded to Mongolians is from 3700000 to 3700144. Anyone with a Red Star within that range, contact me and I can give the likely name (based on order of names in document which match exactly with known dates for two documented ones) of the recipient and his "job" title. For the greater benefit, here's translation of the document I received back from the archives - 4 order of lenins: probably around serial nr 400.000 plus or minus 1.000 - 2.000 - 16 order of october revolution: ??? TBD ??? - 35 order of red banner: probably around serial nr 560.000 plus or minus 10.000 - 145 order of red star (serial nr range from 3.700.000 to 3.700.144) - 199 combat service medals: unnumbered All awarded to Mongolians... and for the red star orders it's tentatively confirmed that the order of names on the document is aligned exactly with the actual serial nr's on awards. Translation as follows: -1- To the director of the main HR office of the Ministry of Defence of USSR Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of USSR About the award of URSS orders and medals to the servicemen of the National Mongolian Army and the citizens of the Mongolian People’s Republic For the services in the joined struggle against the Japanese militarists, And also in the

And here is the incredible life story of Major General Suuriin Baldan (1912-1994). A true "rags to riches" (well, at least to the top of power) story!

Re: Major General Suuriin Baldan
========================================================
Suuriin Baldan was born Tsgaan nuur village of Selenge aimag in 1912. He graduated from the driver’s course at Mongol Trans trust (state-owned transportation company) in 1930, the Political officer’s two year’s course in Moscow, the Soviet Union in 1937 and Military Logistics Academy in the Soviet Union in 1941. He started his work for the state in 1930 by working for the collective farm. From 1932-1933, he worked as a driver at the Mongol Trans trust. In 1933, he was drafted to the Mongolian People’s Revolutionary Army (MPRA). From 1937-1938, S. Baldan served as Political instructor at the 7th Cavalry division stationed in Eastern Mongolia, from 1941-1943 he served as the Deputy Chief of the Political Department of the MPRA, from 1943-1946 he served as the Deputy Prime Minister (one of the Deputies to the Prime Minister Kh. Choibalsan) in charge of the Military Affairs, from 1946-1956 Baldan served as the Chief of the Logistical Department of the MPRA. In 1956, Major General Baldan was discharged from the active military service. From 1956-1958, he worked as the Deputy Head of the Mongol-Soviet Geological Association and from 1958-1959, Baldan worked as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Mining and Geology of the MPR. From 1959-1963, he worked as the Head of the Byanzurkh village of Tuv province, from 1963-1966, he worked as the Head of the Construction project to rebuild the Ulaanbaatar airport and from 1966-1969, he worked as the inspector of the labour safety at the Ministry of Defence. In 1969, Baldan retired from the active service. S. Baldan was bestowed the rank of the Brigade Commissar (equivalent to the Major General) by the decree of the Minister of Defence in November 1942, the rank of the Brigade Commander on December 31, 1943 and the rank of Major General by the decree of the Council of Ministers of the MPR (Cabinet) on April 28, 1944. In fact, Suuriin Baldan was one of the first 11 generals of the MPR (Others include Yu. Tsedenbal, J. Lhagvasuren, B. Dorj, B. Shagdarjav, S. Ravdan, D. Damdinkhuu, G. Rendoo, M. Zaisanov, R. Osor, G. Dagdan). Another interesting point on Suuriin Baldan: he studied in Russia at a political commissar's course together with (later) Colonal General J. Lhagvasuren (very well known Mongolian officer, more on him later) in the 1930's. In Lhagvasuren's memoirs several references are given to Baldan and it really adds to the flavour of the amazing fate which helped Baldan along in his career, in particular how driver Baldan found its way in a course which was meant only for officers:thumbsup Some relevant copies of text from the the memoires to follow later. The book title is "Young Commander elevate by all". Apparently a great book (with great pictures) and a 3rd edition has been published in 2009... in Mongolian (unfortunately).

All quotes (also in next posts) are from the Chapter "Unforgettable four years"
p. 65. One day, the officers chosen to study in the Soviet Union were summoned to the Military Ministry. I have rarely visited the General HQ of the Army and the Ministry before. Therefore I was not familiar with anybody there. On that day there were some 20 trucks parked outside of the Ministry building ready to transport us to Ulan-Ude, USSR. One captain, who came out of the building, called our names. There were some 200 officers standing in line who were chosen to study in different schools. Out of 12 officers chosen to attend the Political course, all besides one officer were standing in line. Having learnt that there was one officer missing; the captain looked around and spotted a sergeant who was looking at us at a distance. The officer asked “Have you been chosen to study abroad? Which unit are you from?” The sergeant replied “I have come here to show the way to the officers chosen to study abroad. I have handed over them in full numbers and I am leaving now back to the unit”. The captain asserted “No way. You are leaving to study with this group.” The sergeant stated “I have not been examined by the medical team.” The captain “It does not matter. Are you fit, healthy?” The sergeant “Yes, comrade captain.” The captain “Do you want to study?” The sergeant “Yes, I do. I have applied for the school but our platoon commander turned me down.” The captain “It does not matter. Do you want to go to study?” The sergeant “Yes, I do”. The captain “Set. You are going with this group.” The captain said few words to a Soviet officer standing next to him and called me from the line. He said to me “Write down the names and the ranks of the people in your group. You are the commander of the group, understood?” I have replied to officer and turned to my would-be classmates. The names of the officers were “Damdarjaa, Tsendjav, Gombo, Batkhuu, Gombo (there were two Gombo), Khishigtogtokh, etc.” I have asked the name of the sergeant who filled the vacancy of the missing officer last. His name was Suuiriin Baldan. He was originally from Selenge province. He was destined to serve for Mongolian Army for many years and become one the first 11 generals. At that time we joked that Baldan was born under a lucky star for he was so unexpectedly chosen to study in the Soviet Union. At that time unlike today, it was not very common for the Mongolians to study in the Soviet Union. p. 76. The spring of 1937. One day the school commander announced that the students will be selected to take part in the military parade on May 1st in the Red Square. The rehearsal of the parade took two months. Out of 800 students who rehearsed for the parade only 200 were selected. Out of Mongolian students, Baldan, Damdarjaa and I were selected to participate in a parade. Not long after the parade, it was time to graduate from the Political Officer’s course under the Military Political Academy of Lenin. The state exams included the party and political work in the military units, military tactics and some other subjects. Baldan, Damdarjaa and me graduated from the course with honors and were also awarded the ranks of Major. p. 80. I spent the summer of 1938 in Moscow. It was almost a year after my classmates graduated from the course and returned Mongolia. I was still assigned to the school to help with the new students from Mongolia. One day I visited the Mongolian Embassy in Moscow. There I unexpectedly met Baldan. Baldan told me that he was chosen to study at the Military Academy of Frunze but the academy ran out of the vacancies. Therefore, he was assigned to study at the Kharkhov Military Logistics Academy. Funny though, Baldan, who brought a mutton all the way from Mongolia, gave away most of it to his friends as soon as he arrived in Moscow. He had a sheep breast saved for me. We went to my place and cooked the breast. While enjoying the mutton, I was happy to chat with my friend and catch up on the news. Upon returning to Mongolia, Baldan was appointed as the Political instructor to the Baishant division and after a month promoted to a Chief of the Political Section of the Division. Later, on Marshal Choibalsan’s order, he was chosen to study at the Military academy in the Soviet Union. That’s why he is in Moscow now. ==================== More to come later... To add to the story, a pic of Lhagvasuren (who was awarded a 2nd class Suvorov order for fighting the Japanese at Khalkhin Gol) Major General Suuriin Baldan... later in his fateful life and clearly wearing his Soviet Red Star:thumbsup Last edited by CtahhR; 07-25-2013 at 09:41 AM. |

Another photograph depicting Mongolian and Soviet Generals standing in front of the Government rotunda in July 1947. General Baldan is the second from the viewer's right (next to General Osor). Next to Baldan (third General from the left) is Lt. General J. Lhagvasuren. You can also clearly see Premier Choibalsan and President Bumtsend on the rotunda both wearing their awards. Would love to know more about the little kid there as well:D On the second one, General Baldan saluting at the Military parade at the 1946October Revolution celebration in Ulaanbaatar. Baldan is standing to the viewer's far left in his fall/spring uniform. Next to him is General Damdinkhuu, followed by General Osor, Minister for the Internal Affairs General Shagdarjav and his Deputy General Dorj. You can also see Secretary of the Central Committee of MPRP Tsedenbal and some Soviet diplomats on the rotunda. They all stand in front of the statue of Sukhbaatar in the Sukhbaatar square. Shared with me by a forum friend, an interview with the daughter of Colonel General Lhagvasuren here. The interview is in Mongolian but over the course of the interview you will see some photos. In one of the photos, you will see a group of Mongolian generals including Baldan:thumbsup Залуу Жанжин Ж.Лхагвасүрэн - YouTube Last edited by CtahhR; 07-25-2013 at 09:43 AM. |
