Daramyn Tömör-Ochir

A graduate of Moscow State University, he served as the secretary for ideology of the central committee of the ruling Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party and a member of its Politburo from 1958 to 1962, when he was expelled on orders of Mongolia's leader Yumjaagiin Tsedenbal for trying "to inflame nationalist passions" after his role in organizing national celebrations for the 800th birthday of Genghis Khan.

From 1945, he studied at the Moscow State University, graduating with a degree in philosophy (i.e. Marxism–Leninism) in 1950, before going on to the Academy of Social Sciences of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee.

In 1953, Tömör-Ochir defended his master's degree in philosophy from Moscow State University and in 1957 gained the title of "professor" (rare in Mongolia's Soviet-based academic system).

Tsedenbal began to view him as an unstable individualist being taken in by "nationalism"; indeed, Tömör-Ochir completely repudiated his previous support for unification with the Soviet Union, and in 1962 sought to have his 1956 and 1959 criticisms withdrawn.

On 10 September, Tömör-Ochir was dismissed from the politburo and secretariat for alleged intrigue against other party leaders, being a "careerist", and trying "to create an unhealthy mood in public opinion and to inflame nationalist passions".
