"During the Soviet control of Mongolia, all but four of
the country's seven hundred Tibetan monasteries were
destroyed, and over 100,000 Tibetan Lamas were
either executed or went underground. As a young
monk, Manalsuren was forcibly conscripted into the
Soviet controlled Mongolian Army. He is now one of
over 1000 Tibetan Lamas who have 'reappeared' in
Mongolia since the fall of the Soviet Empire.
