Abstract
The article studied the farewell letter of the Authorized People's Committee for Foreign Affairs of the RSFSR in Mongolia, Otto Ivanovich Makstenek. The authors found out that Makstenek wrote a letter to the Mongolian revolutionaries when his official powers ended. The letter speaks of strong friendship with the “Mongolian seven” and the joint struggle, which made it possible to carry out the Mongolian revolution. The letter in the Old Mongolian script first published in a book by Khorlogiin Choibalsan and his party colleagues. The authors introduce into scientific circulation this document translated into Russian.
