Queen Genepil in 1923

After the Queen Dondogdulam died, Genepil was picked as the next queen among a group of girls between 18 and 20 years old selected by the King's counsellors. She came from a family in Northern Mongolia, around the Baldan Bereeven Monastery. Her original name was Tseyenpil, but was later changed to Genepil. She was already married to a man named Luvsandamba.[2][7][8]

She lived with Bogd Khan until his death on April 17, 1924 when the monarchy was abolished. After having left the Mongolian court she then returned to her family.[4] In 1937, Genepil was arrested along with her family and later executed in 1938 during the Stalinist repressions in Mongolia.[2][9]
