Elbegdorj Rinchino (1888 – 1938) was a Buryat revolutionary and, during the 1920s, a Comintern representative in Mongolia.[1]
After working for a newspaper in Troitskosavsk, he traveled through Mongolia. He moved to Irkutsk in 1920. He traveled to Moscow as an interpreter in the delegation of Soliin Danzan, where he met Russian communist leader Nikolay Bukharin.
Elbegdorj was appointed head of the Mongolian army training and education department in 1921. He was elected to the MPRP Central Committee in 1923. Following a 1925 speech where he spoke on alleged pan-Mongolian topics perceived to be contrary to communist policy, his party membership was not renewed and he was expelled from Mongolia. He then moved to Moscow and taught at Communist University of the Toilers of the East. He was sentenced to death in one of the 1930s purges in Moscow.
