Abstract
For most of us, the name Mongolia conjures up exotic images of wild horsemen, endless grasslands, and nomads a timeless and mysterious land that is also, in many ways, one that time forgot. Under Genghis Khan, the Mongols empire stretched across Asia and into the heart of Europe. But over the centuries Mongolia disappeared from the world s consciousness, overshadowed and dominated by its huge neighbours first China, which ruled Mongolia for centuries, then Russia, which transformed the feudal nation into the world s second communist state.
