"Danzan was among the leaders executed by Khorloogiin Choibalsan in massacres carried out in collaboration with the Stalinist KGB."
There was no " Stalinism" in 1924, Stalin hadn't become the leading figure until about 1929-1930. And there was no " KGB" either, because that institution was first founded in 1954; the Soviet institution corresponding to the future KGB at the time was the OGPU.-- 91.148.159.4 ( talk) 18:34, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
Danzan was tried and executed at the end of the third party congress of the MPRP. I think the facts are well-covered in the relevant literature (like C.R. Bawden and a few others). IIRC Danzan was accused by Rinchino (a [the?] comintern representative in Mongolia at the time, later thrown out of the country /back to the USSR/ and killed in 1937) to be plotting a coup d'etat. Although it certainly was a dark omen (after the execution of Bodoo and Chagdarjav), I don't think his execution qualifies as a massacre.
Ironically, one of Danzan's major achievements, his meeting with Lenin in Moscow, later had to be attributed to Sukhbaatar, who had been in Irkutsk at the time. Also IIRC Danzan had actually been one of the people who were responsible for Bodoo's and Chagdarjav's deaths. I'll add all of this when I have the sources! Yaan ( talk) 15:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
