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:
“Humanity has passed through a long history of one-sidedness and of a social condition that has always contained the potential of destruction, despite its creative achievements in technology. The great project of our time must be to open the other eye: to see all-sidedly and wholly, to heal and transcend the cleavage between humanity and nature that came with early wisdom.”
—Murray Bookchin (b. 1941)
“My life closed twice before its close—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
