Biography[]
Soliin Danzan was born in Tusheet Khan, Mongolia in 1885, and he made a living as a horse thief as a young man. He became a customs official in the Ministry of Finance, and he became one of the seven founders of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party, serving as its first General Secretary in 1921. That same year, Tseren-Ochiryn Dambadorj supplanted him as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the MPRP, leading to Danzan avenging this defeat by having his relative Dogsomyn Bodoo executed. In 1924, Dambadorj and Rinchingiin Elbegdorj accused Danzan of representing bourgeois interests and engaging in business with American and Chinese firms, ending the power struggle; Danzan and several other delegates were executed by firing squad in August 1924.
