The Great Repression left Mongolian letters without many of its leading voices, but this also enabled the Party to revive literature in a way more favorable to its ideological trajectory. The first Congress of Mongolian Writers, held in the spring of 1948, was the culmination of a decade’s political development in which writers were encouraged to write about the benefit of labor (D. Sengee’s ‘The Shock Workers’ [Udarnik, 1941] and Ts. Damdinsüren’s ‘How Soli Changed’ [Soli solison ni, 1945]) and so develop a Mongolian Socialist Realism. Through a closer connection with Soviet policy, helped by Mongolia’s moral and practical support of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War, the Writers’ Congress helped to define the ideological basis for Mongolian literature for the next three decades.

One of the more complex developments in the post-revolutionary period was in the Mongolian people’s understanding of their traditional, intimate relationship with the landscape. Mongolian nomadic life has always been linked inextricably with the cycle of the seasons, with the weather, and with the topographical features, which function as both waymarks and as ancestral presence. Despite its impulse towards industrialization and urbanization, Mongolian socialism acknowledged such links, and writers drew on their own connection with their homeland (nutag) to enhance and promote the new revolutionary society through a literature that celebrated the interaction of humans, livestock and the steppe. A competition based upon the theme of the revolutionary response to ‘homeland’ (nutag) resulted in a greater interest in this dynamic, as shown in D. Natsagdorj’s 1933 poem ‘My Homeland’ (Minii Nutag).
