Hero of the Mongolian People's Republic

Soon after the victory of the Mongolian people's revolution in 1921, the new power of Mongolia formed the highest degree of distinction - a personal honorary title. He was appropriated by the People’s Government of the Mongolian People’s Republic. The first of such a title, “The Undaunted Hero of the Mongolian People's State”, was awarded on September 23, 1922, by the leader of the revolution, Damdin Suhe-Bator ; On April 24, 1924, the title of “Indomitable People's Hero” (“ Ardyn Khatanbaatar ”) was awarded to his associate S. Maksarzhav . Two more Mongolian servicemen were awarded this title for heroism in the battles on the border with Manzhou-Guo in 1936.

As the official highest honorary title standing above all awards and other honorary titles of the country, the title " Hero of the Mongolian People's Republic " was established by decree of the Presidium of the Small Khural MPR of July 5, 1941 in order to unify the personal honorary titles awarded in 1921 - 1941. But immediately after this, on July 10, 1941, Marshal Hoorlogiin Choibalsan was again awarded the personal title of “Tested Hero of the MPR”. Subsequently, all the titles mentioned were equated with the title of “Hero of the MPR”. This title was awarded to Mongolian and foreign citizens for their exceptional courage and dedication and for their outstanding feat. Subsequently, they began to be awarded to other persons for merits not related to the achievement of a personal feat, for example, the top leaders of Mongolia and the USSR.

In 1945, for persons awarded the title of “Hero of the Mongolian People’s Republic”, a special insignia was introduced - the medal “Golden Star of the Hero of the MPR”.

Decree of the Presidium of the Small Khural MPR No. 43 of July 5, 1941:

1. The title of Hero of the Mongolian People's Republic is conferred by the Presidium of the Small Khural of the MPR to persons who have shown exceptional courage and dedication in defending the Motherland, for an outstanding feat committed in the interests of preserving and consolidating the people's revolutionary system.

2. Persons who have been awarded the title of Hero of the MPR, simultaneously with the issuance of the appropriate certificate, are awarded the Order of the Red Banner of the MPR and the special “Medal of the Hero of the MPR”.
3. The “Medal of the Hero of the MPR” consists of a yellow five-pointed star with a bas-relief of Suhe-Bator in its center. The front surface of the medal has a blue (heavenly) color. At the top there is a Red banner with the inscription "Hero of Mongolia."
4. Persons who have received the title of Hero of the MPR wear the “Hero of the MPR” medal on the left side of the chest. Wearing a medal is mandatory at parades, revolutionary festivals and ceremonial meetings.
5. Persons who have been awarded the title of Hero of the MPR enjoy all the rights, benefits, advantages that all those awarded with MPR orders have, in accordance with the “Regulations on the MPR Orders” approved by the Presidium of the Small Khural and the Council of Ministers of the MPR on May 16, 1941. In addition, the persons who were awarded the title of Hero of the MPR:
a) enjoy the right to visit theaters, circus, cinema and other entertainment events for free;
b) they are completely exempted from paying income tax and cult-collection from the salary they receive or from the money maintenance in the MPR and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they are also exempted from paying cattle-breeding tax from their own farm.
6. Persons who have been awarded the title of Hero of the MPR for committing a new heroic act may be awarded the new title of “Twice Hero of the MPR” with the simultaneous issuance of the second medal “Hero of the MPR” and the Order of the Battle Red Banner of the MPR.
In this case, on the central square in the city of Ulan Bator , a bust of “Twice Hero of the MPR” is established.

7. All requirements for persons awarded MNR orders set forth in Articles 26-30 of the "Regulations on MNR Orders" apply fully to persons who are awarded the title of "Hero of the MNR".

On October 17, 1945 , a new sign was established for the Heroes of the MPR - the medal "Golden Star of the Hero of the MPR". From that moment, the Heroes of the MPR were awarded the Gold Star medal of the Hero of the MPR, the Order of Suche-Bator and the special diploma of the Hero of the MPR.
