Early Life
Peljidiin Genden was born in present-day Taragt district of Övörkhangai Province in either 1892 or 1895 (sources differ). In 1922 he joined the Mongolian Revolutionary Youth League (MRYL), and a year later he was appointed acting head of his local cell.
In November 1924 Genden attended the first session of the Mongolian Great Khural in Niislel Khüree as a delegate from Övörkhangai. There, Prime Minister B. Tserendorj took notice of his outspokenness and based on his recommendation Genden was elected as the chairman of the Presidium of the State Small Khural or Baga Khural, the small assembly that controlled day-to-day matters of state. Genden held this position from November 29, 1924 to November 15, 1927, and served concurrently as the Chairman of the Central Bureau of Mongolia's Trade Union.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Progress would not have been the rarity it is if the early food had not been the late poison.”
—Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)
“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)
