I am grateful to the Editors of Ab Imperio for encouraging me to develop the ideas in this piece, to Sarah Stein for a very valuable reading of an earlier version of this manuscript, and to Lynn Hunt for alerting me to the work of Mustafa Emirbayer and Chad Alan Goldberg. Any shortcomings are, of course, my own responsibility.

Elites, Reforms, and Power Institutions in Soviet Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia in the 1920-1940s: a Comparative Historical Analysis - 1
2/2007
The author thanks Ab Imperio anonymous reviewers for their helpful comments and suggestions.
By Mongolia the author understands Outer Mongolia, the territories that fell under jurisdiction of the Mongolian People’s Republic (MPR) established in 1924. Because of certain political connotations connected with the terms “Outer” and “Inner” Mongolia (Mongolia – a Chinese periphery or “Outer Mongolia” clenched “between the hammer and the anvil”), the author prefers not to refer to Outer Mongolia as far as appropriate.
