Sh. Nadirov, Tsedenbal and the Events of August 1984 (Occasional Papers, No. 25)

"The unexpected change in the highest leadership of Mongolia in August 1984 still remains a mystery for many. According to official statements, Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal was relieved from his party and state posts “considering the poor condition of his health, and by his personal agreement." At the same time, certain circles of Mongolian society maintained a very firm and established opinion that his health was in good condition and that there were no serious grounds for his resignation. What then actually happened? Did Tsedenbal resign because of his poor health by his own will or was he removed against his will? Translated from the Russian by Baasan Ragchaa. 123 pages.
