Mongolia Faces Glasnost and Perestroika

Abstract

This paper is based primarily on impressions and information gathered firsthand on a visit to the Mongolian People's Republic (MPR) during the period 15-24 June 1989. I accompanied a group sponsored by the California Academy of Sciences as study leader. The group came to Ulan Bator by direct flight from Moscow and departed from Mongolia via Irkutsk, where we boarded the Transsiberian railroad to Khabarovsk and then flew to Japan. The time spent in the MPR included five days in Ulan Bator, the capital, and four in the countryside, including extensive excursions in the South Gobi. Keywords: Outer mongolia; USSR; International relations; Economics; International trade.
