Zhamyangiyn Lhagvasuren

J. Lkhagvasuren was married to Dashtseden Tsend. She was the adopted daughter of the State Oracle, Choijin Lama, Luvsankhaidav. He was the brother of Mongolia's last theocratic monarch, Bogdo Gegen.  Dashtseden grew up in the centre of Urguu (the former name of Mongolian capital city Ulaanbaatar), in Choijin Lama's temple. She had an in-house education and learned philosophy, music and languages becoming one of the highly educated women of her day.  

She was artistically gifted and played the national string instruments exceptionally well, sang, and was a star of traditional dance. After the People's Revolution and death of Choijin Lama, she became a performing musician and actress in the first Mongolian National Theatre. Ts. Dashtseden was regarded as one of the intellectual powerhouses and great beauties of early 20th century Mongolia. A popular song, "Dund Golyn Nogoo", devoted to her, and praising her beauty remains in the collective memory of the nation to this day.

Lkhagvasuren and Dashtseden had three children, and nine grandchildren.

Their son, Lkhagvaa, graduated from the Aviation Academy in Moscow, USSR, being trained in aerospace engineering. For many years Colonel Lkhagvaa served as the Head of the Mongolian Civil Aviation Authority, and the CEO of the Mongolian state-owned air company "MIAT". In 1990 he established the first in Mongolia private air-company, "Hangarid". For more than a decade he's been working as an Honorary Consul of Thailand in Mongolia.

Their oldest daughter, Lkhagvadulam, is a journalist. A graduate of the Moscow Pedagogical University, Lkhagvadulam worked for the Mongolian National TV and Radio, Montsame National News Agency, and was a reporter and eventually Editor-in-Chief of a newspaper and a magazine both published in Russian. For translating a number of novels of Russian authors into Mongolian and Mongolian authors into Russian she was awarded the prestigious Lodoidamba Award for literary achievements in writing and translating. Lately she has translated Paulo Coelho’s best-selling novel "The Alchemist" into the Mongolian language.

Their youngest daughter, L.Lkhagvajav, graduated from the Plekhanov Academy of Economics in Moscow, USSR, and worked in the field of foreign trade for over 20 years. For eight years Lkhagvajav represented Mongolia as a trade attache in the Mongolian Embassy in Poland. After the transition to democracy and free market she established her own company, "BAL". Her company organized the first charter flights between Ulaanbaatar and Seoul, South Korea, at a time when the country did not yet have established air routes to South Korea. After these charter flights were successfully conducted by the "BAL" company, the state «MIAT» air company was able to take them over and establish regular flights to and from Seoul. It is now one of the most popular air destinations to and from Ulaanbaatar.

General Lkhagvasuren was posthumously awarded the highest military honor in Mongolia, Hero of Mongolia, after years of pressure on the state and the party from supporters and admirers of the Young Commander, many of whom regarded the general as the greatest modern Hero of Mongolia despite the official decoration.

In a public opinion poll conducted by the Mongolian National Radio, Mongolia News Agency, and the leading daily newspaper, Zuuny Medee throughout the country at the turn of the millennium to name the greatest figures in the 20th century Mongolia, J. Lkhagvasuren almost unanimously, by 87% of respondents, was named the Greatest Military Hero of the 20th Century Mongolia.

A large bronze monument of the Hero of Mongolia, Colonel General Lkhagvasuren Jamyan was raised in one of the central streets of Ulaanbaatar city in 2000, the year commemorating the 55th anniversary of the end of WWII.

A street in Ulaanbaatar was also named after the Young Commander, "Janjin Lkhagvasuren Street", and a memorial plaque was placed on the wall of the building in Ulaanbaatar where General Lkhagvasuren worked as the Deputy Commander of the Mongolian Army in 1939–1948. Another plaque was placed on the wall of the Sports Palace that he built in the 1950s.

A secondary school in his home province of Bulgan was also named after General Lkhagvasuren. Beginning in 1997 an Honorary Grant was established and personally financed by General Lkhagvasuren's son and two daughters to support a qualified student enrolled at the Military Academy of Mongolia. This Honorary Grant has continued every year thereafter and benefited a new student each year.

Many songs and poems were written with the Young Commander as their subject and muse. But the very first and most beloved was "The "Young Commander" a military march song sung by soldiers of every generation since General Lkhagvasuren's victory in the Khalkhyn Gol War.

In 2012, Mongolia celebrated the centenary of his birth.[7] The 167th Military Unit of the Mongolian Ground Force is named after him.[8]
