Khorloogiin Choibalsan ruled Mongolia from 1924 to 1952. He was a communist who led the Mongolian People's Republic. Choibalsan's rule was maintained by a repressive state and a cult of personality. The state was repressive because it used violence and intimidation to control the population. The cult of personality was used to promote Choibalsan as a great leader and to justify his rule.
