Notes

The current national anthem was written in 1950. The music was composed byBilegiin Damdinsren (1919-1991) and Luvsanjamts Murjorj (1915-1996) and thewords were written by Tsendiin Damdinsren (1908-1986). The anthem was changedslightly in 1961 to include references to communism and the Communist Party,however the original words were restored in the early 1990's following the election of a democratic government. This anthem replaced the Internationale - a communistworkers song adopted following the proclamation of the Mongolian PeoplesRepublic in 1924. Damdinsren, a native of Dornod Aimag, was a giant of modernMongolian literature, whose influence on modern writing is second only to that of

Natsagdorj. He spent his formative years studying abroad in Leningrad (1933-38)where he became fluent in Russian, worked as a translator, and produced a diverse

body of work including poetry, fiction, translation, history and literary criticism. In1947 he published a beautiful translation of the Secret History in modern Mongolian,

and was a three times winner of the prestigious State Prize. He was alsoinstrumental in the introduction of the Cyrillic alphabet in the 1940s.
