<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><font size=3
face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>This paper examines the
rehabilitation of victims of political repression from the 1930s, particularly
Buddhist monks, in contemporary <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Mongolia</st1:country-region></st1:place>
through archival sources that largely remain outside of public use. These
documents and the processes of their creation and recovery help us to learn how
the state justified the eradication of religion in the 1930s, and then how it
changed its logic during its rehabilitation process in the 1990s. I trace this
transformation in logic and the discourses of arrest and rehabilitation by
piecing together the case of a lama, Samdan, who was twice arrested as a
counter-revolutionary in the 1930s, and then rehabilitated in the 1990s.
Dispersed within the opaque structures of the state archives the documents --
the ethnographic artefacts -- take us through the corridors of archives and the
logic behind the state policies and show the creation of new forms of knowledge
relationships.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
