The title of Hero to the Mongolian People's Republic was created in 1941 by decree of the Khural (Parliament). The order that came with the title is something that isn't in many reference books. Thanks to Yuri, we have a scan of this rare order. The first ten people to receive the title of Hero of the MPR received this award.
