Choibalsan originally trained as a Lamaist monk. He made contact with Russian revolutionaries when he traveled to Siberia. He founded his first revolutionary organization in 1919 and in 1921 joined with Damdin Sukhbaatar to form the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. After the Mongolian and Soviet Red Army forces entered Urga in 1921 and established a pro-Soviet government, Choibalsan became deputy war minister. Over the following years Choibalsan came to dominate his country's leadership and by about 1940 his position was unrivaled in his own country. He served both as head of state (Chairman of the Presidium of the State Little Hural, 1929–1930) and head of government (Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars, 1939–1952). He is sometimes accorded the military rank of Marshal. Choibalsan was a close follower of the Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and emulated his policies in many ways including the ruthless elimination of rivals for power and harsh treatment of landowners.

Soliin Danzan (1885 – 1924) was a Mongolian revolutionary and chairman of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party. Danzan was working as a customs official when he founded one of the two groups that would later unite to form the MPRP in 1919, after the lower house of parliament was dissolved. He was known as one of the First Seven leaders of the MPRP. According to historian Shagdariin Sandag, Danzan espoused a general hope of uniting all people of Mongolian origin into one state, and in April 1922 made a speech at a party and Youth League meeting calling for all Mongols to unite, antagonizing the Soviets. Danzan had distanced himself further from Soviet policy when he called for a significant reduction in the number of Soviet advisors in Mongolia. Subsequently Danzan was among the leaders executed by Comintern in massacres carried out in collaboration with the Soviet secret services. According to Sandag, the execution of Danzan was a shock and served as a signal that confirmed the power of the Soviets in Mongolia.
Genden has been described as “imprudent, shrewd, full of guile, quick tempered, loquacious, straightforward, belligerent and arrogant”. He publicly criticized Stalin and the Soviet Union during moments of intoxication, for example he once openly called the Soviet Union “Red Imperialists”. He became famous for fearlessly confronting Stalin during their public meetings in Moscow and was one of the few to stand up to Stalin’s despotic character. In March 1936 Genden was removed from his offices of the prime minister and the foreign minister and placed under house arrest. Genden traveled to the USSR, ostensibly for medical treatment, in April 1936. In 1937 he was arrested and under interrogation admitted to conspiring with 'lamaist reactionaries and Japanese spies'. He was executed in Moscow on November 26, 1937.
