social and mental life of the Buryat and the Mongols who are with the same ethnic
origin. Researcher B. Sagdarjaw mentions the following about I8dorj:
“... with the help of the head of Oriental Secretariat in Comintern in Irkutsk, B. Z.
Shumyatski, Mongolian revolutionists began to join their destinies with Mongolia
and its people. S. Buyannemekh and B. Ishdorj were working in the press council
when Mongolian revolutionists published the newspaper “Mongolia’s truth” in No¬
vember, 1920 in Irkutsk. Moreover, he was working as a translator for Mongolian
delegates in The First Congress of Oriental Workmen in January, 1922 in Moscow,
and as interpreter for Lenin...”
On 20 August, 1920, the Mongolian delegates D. Bodé and X. Coibalsan was included
in the Mongolian-Tibetan group in the conferences of Oriental People’s Division in the
Siberian Bureau of the Central Committee of All-Union Communist (Bolshevik) Party.
During this conferences, a Mongolian-Tibetan group was established and appointed E.
Ren¢éino as director. Moreover, the Mongolian-Tibetan Council conference directed by
E. Renéino, made the following decision on 17 November, 1920:
1. Opening a military-political school for Mongolians, and assigning B. Danchinov,
and S. ISdorj to develop the school program
2. Appointing Tsyryenjapov and ISdorj to do advocacy work to enroll students.
B. ISdorj had written and published a 19 chapter book in 1922 entitled Handbook
of Humanity and Revolution, People’s Party and Polity Development, which was con¬
sidered extremely valuable and rare book at that time because of its disclosure of
political concerns such as the development of human society, politic systems and its
forms, aggressive and / or freeing war, etc. B. ISdorj started to work in the Institute of
Sutras and Scriptures in 1922, and worked in the education sector for the order of the
school department.
In the same year, during the 33" conference of the People’s Government, the resolu¬
tion to establish a “Teacher training school” in the capital city was approved, which
resoluted to train 20 young people, who knew the Mongolian script, for four months,
and to open a primary school hall. ISdorÿ had worked in this primary school as transla¬
tor until he became actively involved in the establishment of the first secondary school
of the People’s Government in the capital city in 1923. He became the first principal
(head) of this school. During the Lunar New Year in 1923, a training class of the se¬
condary school was established including 40 students. The first principal (head) of this
school was B. Idorj, followed by Cewegjaw Cerendorj, Byamba Rinéen, and Jamiyan
who all worked as principals. In 1924, Badrax had worked as a principal of the secon¬
dary school, which provided lessons for 75 students in that very year.
B. ISdorj organized numerous activities being the principal (head), for instance
the development of new systems in training, improving teaching workforces, making
textbooks available. Many Mongolian teachers and Buryat intellectuals including J.
