Prior to 1921, Mongolia, located near Russian and China, was a Buddhist country and had been for more than 300 years. In 1921, it became a communist country and most of its residents became atheist. In 1998, the communist government collapsed and gave way to the development of the Christian religion. The country has about 34 million livestock and only 2.5 million people. The winter is very harsh and cold and the spring is dry and windy.
Mongolian summers are beautiful.
