Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party

This article is about the actual party that was founded in the 1920s. For the party whose alleged existence was the pretext for an ethnic witch-hunt during the cultural revolution, see Cultural Revolution#Ethnic minorities. For the modern-day secessionist group, see Inner Mongolian People's Party.

The Inner Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (Mongolian: Dotoγadu Mongγol-un Arad-un Qubisqal-un Nam[1]) was a political party in Inner Mongolia. The party was founded by a number of politically active Inner Mongolian youth including Mersé and Serengdongrub in Kalgan in October 1925. Mersé, who had contacts with the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and Comintern, became the general secretary of the party.[2] Others present at their inaugural meeting included Altanochir, Fumintai, and Sainbayar.[3]

The party advocated Mongolian self-determination and socialism, abolishment of feudalism and of the influence of the religious hierarchy.[4]

The party was allied to the Communist Party of China. It was dissolved in 1946.[5]
