History timeline
-
1950
The anthem's music was adopted, along with original lyrics penned by Tsendiin Damdinsüren.
-
1961
Original lyrics were replaced, possibly due to de-Stalinization and a mention of Stalin, with new lyrics by Gaitaw and Tshimid.
-
1990
Following Mongolia's transition to democracy, the 1950 lyrics were restored but modified to remove Communist hero references.
-
2006
The lyrics underwent another slight revision, notably incorporating unique refrains for both verses.
Between Stalin's death in 1953 and the 1961 lyric replacement, the anthem's second verse was reportedly omitted during performances due to its mention of him.
