Darizavyn Losol (Mongolian: Дарьжавын Лосол ; April 15, 1890 – July 25, 1940) was a revolutionary leader and post-Revolution governmental figure in Mongolia until he was purged in 1939.
Losol (or "Darizhavyn" or "Darijavyn") was born into a herdsman's family on April 15, 1890 in present-day Batnorov district, Khentii Province. He entered a local monastery at age nine and then moved to Khüree (present day Ulaanbaatar) three years later to pursue his education at Gandan Monastery. Between 1908 and 1911 he self-financed travel through Manchuria to Peking as well as to St. Petersburg and Moscow. Losol joined the army of Autonomous Mongolia in 1911 after the country had formally declared its independence from Chinese rule and took part in battles against Chinese forces on the south-east border in 1913.
In 1918 Losol along with Dambyn Chagdarjav, Khorloogiin Choibalsan and Dogsomyn Bodoo founded the Konsulyn Denj (Консулын дэнж:Consular Hill) group of Mongolian revolutionaries in Khüree. The group joined forces with another resistance group in the city, Züün Khüree, to become the Mongolian People's Party (MPP) on June 25, 1920. He was one of seven MPP delegates (the famous “First Seven”) sent to the USSR to establish contact with the Soviets and seek assistance with their independence struggle against Chinese rule. At the first MPP Congress, held secretly from March 1 to 3, 1921 in Troitskosavsk, Losol was elected one of the three members of the Central Committee and was later appointed a member of the MPP Central Committee's Presidium and minister of finance in the provisional government.
