What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
After World War II, the Soviet Union and the United States became the two superpowers in the world, forming a bipolar pattern in the world. Today, the United States is still a first-line power, but the Soviet Union fell apart as early as the early 1990s, the scenery is no longer beautiful, and the name of the Soviet Union is buried in the history books only as a legend.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation inherited the mantle of the Soviet Union and achieved the current Russia, but the territory of the Soviet Union at that time was far more than the size of Russia, and there were more than a dozen member states that declared independence, as well as Mongolia controlled by the Soviet Union.
Mongolia has a deep relationship with China, when Genghis Khan unified the tribes of the Mongolian steppe and merged into the "Mongol nation", and led the Mongolian warriors to conquer the north and conquer the north, open up the territory, and finally during the reign of his grandson Kublai Khan, he destroyed the Song Dynasty, conquered the Central Plains, and established a unified Yuan Dynasty regime.
The Yuan Dynasty is a controversial part of Chinese history, but there is no doubt that the Yuan Dynasty was able to conquer good wars and the territory was unprecedented, and today's Mongolia was the territory of the Yuan Dynasty, as a Chinese, it is still very unpleasant to think of the independence of the territory that once belonged to his motherland. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, the loss of China's territory was not a star and a half, and this history of disturbing shame will not be discussed.
In 1911, Outer Mongolia began to make independence under the protection and instigation of Tsarist Russia, although the Qing government and the Beiyang government wanted to maintain the sovereignty of Outer Mongolia, but it did not help, Outer Mongolia became independent in 1921, established mongolia, and became the horse boy of Tsarist Russia.
Although Mongolia has always been the leader of the Soviet Union for the sake of interests, but after all, it is a late-in-line, the Soviet Union in addition to controlling Mongolia in terms of interests, but also pay attention to assimilating the Mongols from the spiritual level, after all, if you want to truly conquer a nation, you must first dominate their ideas, and preventing the Mongols from promoting Genghis Khan is the most important means.
Genghis Khan is the proud son of heaven in Chinese history, but also the myth and legend in the hearts of the Mongols, his heroic deeds have been passed down from generation to generation, and they have been deeply rooted in the minds of the Mongols, he is the benchmark in the hearts of the Mongols, with a status that no one can match, it is not an exaggeration to say that he was enshrined on the altar.
To a certain extent, Genghis Khan is the belief of the Mongols, and this belief for the Soviet Union is the potential inducement of the Mongols to get close to China, the dangerous desire to yearn for freedom and desire independence, so in order to sovietize the Mongols' thinking and obediently live under the protection of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union resolutely forbade the Mongols to sing the praises of Genghis Khan, and wanted to slowly erase the worship of Genghis Khan from the bottom of the Mongols' hearts.
In order to change the thinking of the Mongols, the Soviet Union took measures large and small. At the beginning, the Mongols resisted this act of the Soviet Union, because in the eyes of the Mongols, the image of Genghis Khan was unparalleled, and they did not forget the great achievements of Genghis Khan, let alone the glory of the Yuan Dynasty. In the era of division and division, the Mongols missed the beauty of Genghis Khan even more, and also became the spiritual sustenance of the Mongols. However, the Soviet Union did not allow the Mongols to have this spiritual sustenance, which was really difficult to accept, and the Soviet Union also replaced the portrait of Genghis Khan in Mongolia with Stalin, with a tough attitude.
The Soviet Union did not allow Mongolia to praise Genghis Khan, and in addition to wanting the Mongols to forget his glorious days and thus assimilate Mongolia and facilitate their own rule, there was another reason, that is, the Soviet Union was retaliating.
Why? Because Mongolia has also ruled the territory of the Soviet Union for more than two hundred years in history, the Soviet Union is a superpower and is no longer enslaved by Mongolia. The Soviet Union, which had a strong overall national strength, was inevitably somewhat conceited, and the ideological restraint of Mongolia was also one of the means of retaliation to flaunt its status as a superpower.
In order to achieve complete rule over mongolia, the Soviet Union did not hesitate to limit their faith and attempted to assimilate the Mongols, thus completely forgetting Genghis Khan, but in the end it did not succeed. Until the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia got rid of Soviet rule and re-hung the portrait of Genghis Khan, and the image of God rose again in the hearts of the Mongols.
