It was a defining moment in the history of Mongolia, a perfect combination of great minds that changed the future of Mongolia.They met secretly with other young people in the circle auditorium of the National University of Mongolia and discussed democracy, free market economic policy, and other prohibited subjects of the time, and began to draft a plan to organize a democratic movement. He determined the strategy and tactics of the democratic movement and led Mongolia on a new path by making the Mongolian Democratic Union an institution.The Mongolian Democratic Union founders publicly petitioned the government for a real implementation of perestroika, including allowing a multi-party system, the total implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in all party and government affairs.

After the revolution

Enkhtuvshin Malish flew to the USA to avoid a coalition government that hijacked a democratic revolution and learn more about democracy. He moved across America and did all kinds of odd jobs to learn the American way of life. He did the degree of Master of Law and the degree of Juris Doctor at UC Berkeley, School of Law. He knew very well that youth in the developing countries appears as one of the most vociferous and avant-garde propagators for the prospects of economic democracy that is why his thoughts and actions after his return were fixed on educating young people and making changes in the educational system. He founded Development Engineeryzer club and wrote and published several books such as "This is my English", "Essay topics breakdown", "The joy of knowledge", "The joy of learning", "Art of teaching", "Ten years in America", etc.

He established FB page, where he shared his thoughts how it should be reformed. He has utilized totally unconventional way which differs from outdated traditional way of teaching to open the third eye of many students and became respected as a "mentor. He helped thousands of kids not only learn the English language, but also the culture of leadership and shaped student's mindset, behavior and ways of thinking.

Even though after his return he has received numerous offers to hold various high positions in the party and in the government he neither wanted high position nor high paying job. He was true to his motto: “To be a Minimalist to himself and a Maximalist to own country.” He was a revolutionary to the core and he wanted to change the minds of millions, so they can finally reap the increasingly important gains of democratic government.
