Anandyn Amar (1886 – July 10, 1941) was the head of state of the Mongolian People's Republic from 1932 to 1936 and twice served as prime minister from 1928–1930 and again from 1936–1939.
Biography[]
He was the sixth president of Mongolia. A highly respected politician, Amar was known for his eloquent defense of Mongolian independence in the face of growing Soviet domination. Despite this, he was powerless to prevent the Minister of Internal Affairs, Khorloogiin Choibalsan, and the Soviet NKVD from carrying out mass purges of nearly 30,000 Mongolians during his second term as prime minister, between 1937 and 1939. Amar's popularity eventually led to his purge by the pro-Soviet Choibalsan, who accused him of counter-revolution in 1939. Amar was sent to Moscow for trial and executed on July 10, 1941 at the Communarka firing range outside Moscow.
