Sükhbaatar's Mausoleum (), sometimes referred to as Sükhbaatar's and Choibalsan's Mausoleum, was a mausoleum located at Sükhbaatar Square in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The mausoleum served as the resting place of Damdin Sükhbaatar, leader and commander of the Mongolian Revolution of 1921, and Khorloogiin Choibalsan, leader and marshal of the Mongolian People's Republic from 1939 to his death in 1952. The building was erected on the north side of Sükhbaatar Square in front of the Government Palace after Choibalsan's death during the socialist era. It was removed in 2005 to make place for a structure dedicated to Chinggis Khan. The mausoleum resembled the shape of Lenin's Mausoleum but differed in color. The mausoleum was never opened for public visits.
History
Construction and development
Damdin Sükhbaatar had been buried at the Altan-Ölgii National Cemetery in 1923, but was exhumed and reinterred in the mausoleum the following year. In the 1930s, it was rebuilt, turning into an almost exact copy of Lenin's Mausoleum. On May 9, 1952, after the funeral of Marshal Khorloogiin Choibalsan, a resolution of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party was issued, according to which the sketch of a new mausoleum of Choibalsan and Sükhbaatar by architect Budjavyn Chimed was approved. According to this sketch, the tribune on the mausoleum was 14.3 meters long and 13.87 centimeters wide. Inside the mausoleum, the walls were decorated with small stones, and the outside was decorated with white marble. Specialists from the USSR were invited to build the mausoleum, and marble was brought from the valley of the Orkhon River in the city of Kharkhorin. On July 8, 1954, the grand opening of the mausoleum took place, with this day being declared a holiday. Cadets of military universities marched in front of the newly renovated mausoleum during its opening. Nicolae Ceaușescu and Wojciech Jaruzelski. Security at the mausoleum from 1951 to 1956 was provided by 10 soldiers allocated by the special security company, who guarded the structure.
