Who would have thought that a Ryazan girl would become the ruler of Mongolia? And Nadezhda Filatova not only ruled the country instead of her husband, but also did a lot to ensure that people here lived as best as possible. The Mongols still remember this contribution to the country's social policy.
A chance meeting with the Mongolian party leader Yumzhagiyn Tsedenbal, who came to Russia, determined her fate.
Biography
Anastasia Ivanovna Filatova was born in 1920 in the town of Sapozhok, Ryazan Region. The times were not easy, alarming, but Nastya was a brave girl and easily experienced all difficulties. She graduated from school and wanted to go to Moscow, but the war began.
It was also Nastya's personal tragedy: she escorted Dmitry to the front of the groom. She had been waiting for him from the war almost like a legitimate husband, but he sent a letter that he loved another and got married. For a long time the girl experienced this betrayal, but the war presented not such "surprises", therefore, in general, her personal grief did not seem so great.
After the war, Nastya went to Moscow, received her education, but did not work in her specialty, but went along the Komsomol line. She purposefully pursued a career and soon reached a fairly high status: she took the post of secretary of the Komsomol organization in the Ministry of Trade.
Fateful acquaintance
Then Anastasia lived in a communal apartment, and Nikolay Vazhin settled in the neighborhood with her - he then worked as the USSR ambassador to Mongolia. Nastya and Nikolai had friendly relations, they went to visit each other, and one day Nikolai brought Yumzhagiin Tsedenbal, who was the secretary general of the Central Committee of the Mongolia MPRP, to him.
Despite his high post, Yumzhagiin was a simple man. He was born into a family of poor nomads and never hid it. In this they were similar to Nastya, and therefore quickly found a common language. The Mongolian party leader spoke excellent Russian, adored Russian literature and culture.
He told Vazhnov that Nastya made a very strong impression on him, and then an interesting story began. The marriage of Tsedenbal and Filatova was approved at the very top, the young quickly got married and left for Ulan Bator.
