Mongolian People’s Republic, 1940
In 1940 the flag of the Mongolian People’s Republic was “modernised” slightly, resulting in the loss of its three tails. It was now a plain red flag with the “Soyombo”, the national symbol of Mongolia, in yellow over a lotus flower, a symbol of the victory of 1939. The name of the country - Bügd Nairamdakh Mongol Ard Uls - was inscribed in white Mongolian script on both sides of the soyombo.
