Pavel Milyukov vs Ukhnaagiin Khurelsukh

Milyukov became the leader of the Constitutional Democratic Party (Kadets), the main liberal party in Russia. He advocated for a constitutional monarchy, civil liberties, and parliamentary government. Under his leadership, the Kadets became a major force in the Duma.

After the February Revolution, Milyukov was appointed Foreign Minister in the Provisional Government. He pursued a policy of continuing the war against the Central Powers and honoring Russia's commitments to the Allies, which became increasingly unpopular.

Milyukov sent a note to the Allies reaffirming Russia's commitment to the war and its war aims, including annexation of the Straits. The note sparked massive protests in Petrograd, leading to the April Crisis and Milyukov's resignation as Foreign Minister.

After the Bolshevik takeover, Milyukov fled to the south of Russia and later emigrated to France. He initially supported the White movement but later advocated for a more conciliatory approach toward the Bolsheviks. He continued to write and publish historical works.

Khurelsukh was appointed Prime Minister after the resignation of Jargaltulgyn Erdenebat. He led a coalition government focused on economic recovery and anti-corruption measures.

Khurelsukh resigned as Prime Minister in January 2020 following widespread protests over the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and economic issues. The resignation was seen as a concession to public pressure.

As President, Khurelsukh launched the 'New Revival Policy', a comprehensive economic strategy focusing on infrastructure development, energy independence, and digital transformation. The policy aimed to reduce Mongolia's reliance on mining.

Khurelsukh won the 2021 presidential election as the Mongolian People's Party candidate, defeating Dangaasuren Enkhbat. His victory marked the return of the MPP to the presidency after a decade.

During a state visit to Russia, Khurelsukh signed a strategic partnership agreement with President Vladimir Putin, strengthening bilateral cooperation in energy, trade, and infrastructure.
