Mongolia and Tuva became strongholds of Soviet influence in Central Asia. At the same time, the larger Mongolia also fulfilled the important task of a buffer between the territory of the USSR and China, where there was virtually no unified statehood at that time, and near the Soviet borders there were puppets of Manchukuo and Mengjiang controlled by hostile Japan.
