Career
Keeping a low profile in the 1950s and the 1960s, Filatova aspired to a political role of her own in her later years. Her lack of appreciation for Mongolian culture and history, and her interference in Mongolian politics (she reportedly had a say, for example, in matters of political appointments) caused substantial resentment in the Mongolian ruling elites, and may have played a role in the Soviet decision to oust Tsedenbal from power in 1984. Filatova is also remembered for her involvement in social programs in Mongolia, including the Children"s Fund.
The Wedding Palace in Ulan Bator was allegedly built on her initiative.
Tsedenbal and Filatova had two adult children, Vladislav and Zorig.
