Mongolian/Tuvan Communism in the early 30s...

As I write the next piece of my RCW scenario, a thought occurred to me: If the White Revolutionaries win, what will happen to Communism in Mongolia/Tannu Tuva? Was it well established and stable enough to survive without Soviet aid/support? Also, what would the official ideology of the USSR switching from Stalinism to Trotskyism do to the two state's regimes?

This assumes the Whites do not invade and directly depose the two governments of course.

Note: This thread will probably be confusing to those who haven't read my scenario. :p
 
To clarify a bit, I'm asking how solidified Mongolian/Tuvan communism was in the early 30s. Was there significant opposition to it that might overthrow their governments if their big red protector was no longer there?
 
The Japanese might try and invade Mongolia and Tuva if the Soviet Union is embroiled in civil war.
 
To the best of my knowledge Tuva was Soviet puppet of worst kind for all intents and purposes, especially once hardline commies got rid of Donduk Kuular. Mongolian regime could cope against internal threats, but wasn't going to survive against hostile Russia and China (no post-Medieval Mongolian regime going to survive against hostile Russia and China, courtesy of geography and demography) and their relationships with Mao were pretty unfriendly from the very beginning.
 
By the thirties, Mongolia had only been communist for a decade, so I don't know how well-entrenched it was. There were uprisings in the western and southern parts of Mongolia in the early 30s that had to be suppressed with the Red Army. So if that army could not help, I think the MPR government would fall to these rebels. They would probably be supported by the Whites and maybe some of the Chinese warlords, who would rather see a weak right Mongolia than a weak left one.
