History
In 1990, a peaceful revolution brought democracy to Mongolia after almost 70 years of Soviet backed rule.
University lecturer Ganbold Davaadorj was one of the lead figures in bringing together the Mongolian people. He went on to be the first deputy prime minister of Mongolia.
He shares his story with Matt Pintus.
