Trial in Moscow
On July 10, 1941 Amar was tried by a Soviet troika and sentenced to death. Throughout the trial Amar insisted that, if the Mongolian People’s Republic were really an independent nation, he should be tried by a Mongolian court. His last recorded words were “it is typical that when a big power colonizes a small country, its leaders are arrested and persecuted. My personal experience demonstrates this attitude of the USSR towards Mongolia”.
Amar was executed right after the death sentence at the firing ground "Kommunarka" Russian: Расстре́льный полиго́н «Коммуна́рка» near Moscow, his body is buried there.
