In OTL, Roman Ungern von Sternberg was a Russian WW1 veteran who split off into his own faction during the Russian Civil war and pretty much became a warlord who attacked both the Whites and the Reds while trying to form his own kingdom in Mongolia.
In short, he was one of the craziest madmen that lived during that period. Nicknamed The Bloody Baron, he instituted a reign of terror all across Mongolia during his short reigned dictatorship. Anyone who had different views (be they Bolsheviks, Jews or just plain guys from Siberia) was executed in the most barbaric methods (beheading, burning alive and the likes).
On top of that, he also believed himself to be the reincarnation of Genghis Khan
eek
and, during his stay in Mongolia, he had support from Bogd Khan as well as the Dalai Lama
.
If you need further proof of his madness, then I trust that this photo will help:
After a short reign, the Bolsheviks managed to oust him thanks to two of his officers who sold him out and have him tried and executed.
Lets say that he somehow manages to consolidate his grasp over his Mongolian monarchy (if it is at all possible, considering the Red Army where pretty much hell bent on killing him), what possible effects would that have over the events that happened during that time?
