Wikipedia's article on the Stalinist repressions in Mongolia, community-edited. Reliable for the article's own cited figures on the September 1937 to April 1939 purge: 746 monasteries liquidated and more than 18,000 lamas executed by Choibalsan's troika, drawn from Mongolia's post-1990 official reckoning with the period; other sources cite figures in a similar range rather than an identical one, and this atlas states the range honestly rather than picking a single precise number.
