Abstract
The article studies the issue of the strategy, forms and methods of the foreign policy of the Mongolian People's Republic during the Cold War. Mongolia in the socialist period, despite its limited foreign policy potential, successfully defended its own interests, using the advantages of a small country. Key factors of Ulaanbaatar's soft power were ethno-cultural and religious ties with the peoples of the East, a common post-colonial past and the desire to overcome its legacy, and the lack of ambitions of a great power. Being closely tied by allied relationship with the USSR, Mongolia actively participated in the expansion and strengthening of the socialist bloc in post-colonial Asia.
