The article deals with the problematic and key issues of national historiography, theoretical and methodological aspects of the policy of the Comintern in the national revolutionary movement of the Mongolian peoples. The relevance of the study is determined by the fact that currently more and more attention is paid to the revolutionary processes in a broader historical context within the framework of transnational history. We have come to the conclusion that the foreign policy of the Comintern was aimed at spreading the ideas of the world revolution and the struggle against international imperialism. On the back of the defeat of the revolutionary movement in Europe, the Asian way of revolutionization became the most promising. The Comintern acted as a kind of corridor for the dissemination of the ideas of the world revolution to the East, and primarily to China. In the policy of the Comintern, Mongolia and the related Mongolian question occupied an important place in terms of promoting revolutionary ideas using the national liberation movement of the Mongolian peoples — pan-Mongolism. With the change in the international situation and the military threat from Japan, the Comintern focused on strengthening its own positions, supporting the left-wing views in the internal political struggle, as well as bilateral Soviet-Mongolian relations.
