Purged
Upon Genden’s return to Mongolia, Stalin and Khorloogiin Choibalsan organized the second plenary meeting of Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party in March 1936 in Ulan-Bator to eliminate the prime minister irreversibly. Party members heavily criticized Genden for his actions in Moscow and accused him of sabotaging Mongol-Soviet relations. He was subsequently removed from his offices of the prime minister and the foreign minister and placed under house arrest. Anandyn Amar was appointed as the prime minister for the second time in replacement of Genden's place. Choibalsan was henceforth Stalin’s favorite in Ulaanbaatar, became the head of the new Internal Affairs Ministry and de facto the most powerful person in Mongolia.

Famous quotes containing the word purged:
“For rigorous teachers seized my youth,
And purged its faith, and trimm’d its fire,
Show’d me the high, white star of Truth,
There bade me gaze, and there aspire.
Even now their whispers pierce the gloom:
What dost thou in this living tomb?”
—Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
