Mongolian embroidery (1967) showing Lenin meeting with representatives of the Mongolian delegation in 1921, during the Russian Civil War. Damdin Sukhbaatar, the leader of the delegation, is depicted behind Lenin. In 1921, communist revolutionaries led by Sukhbaatar seized power in Mongolia. Concerned about the White Russian invasion (Roman von Ungern-Sternberg, the ‘Mad Baron’, had invaded in 1920), Sukhbaatar led his delegation to Moscow to meet and request support from leading Bolsheviks. The aid was eventually provided and a strong friendship would exist between the Soviet Union and the Mongolian People’s Republic until the states’ dissolution at the end of the Cold War. Artist: Tserenkhuu A.

What is the delegation leader guy handing to Lenin? I don't know anything about Mongolian culture.

It's a khadag (long piece of silk) and probably a bowl of sweets

It’s wild how people still dressed like that in the 20th century. I’ve only seen it being worn by royal courtiers in movies about ancient feudal societies in Asia
