Khorloogiin Choibalsan

In the WW2 Mongolia gave the Red Army 65 million tugrics, 100 thousand dollars and 300 kilograms of gold. These funds were used to build a tank column "Revolutionary Mongolia" and the squadron "Mongolian Arat". In addition, the Mongols assembled for the military needs of more than 800 thousand horses. Every fifth overcoat worn by Soviet soldiers, officers and generals, was sewed of wool treated with the east ally. In 1942-1943, caravan care, which was held from Khovd to Biysk, brought to the the Red Army at Stalingrad, almost 10 thousand coats, sweatshirts, overcoats, 20 thousand pairs of felt boots, boots, several tons of dried meat. And most importantly - in contrast to the Western lend-lease the assistance of Mongolia for the USSR was completely gratuitous.

That help was really essential for Red Army, much thanks for that!!!.But the soviet-mongolian military partnership wasn’t gratutious. It was very profitable for both sides.According the soviet-mongolian pact( 1936) the group of soviet military advicers have been sent there to help mongolian army to fight against Japanese agressors. The japanese attack on Mongolia has been succesfully repelled by the united soviet-mongolian forces on Halkin-Gall. The manies mongolian commanders have been prepeared in Soviet military academies. Within all the war the soviet far-eastern forces , deployed along mongolian border hold the Kwantung imperial army from invasion to Mongolia.
