      Mongols never had Russia in the first place, because it didn't exist yet. They had Rus princedoms as their vassals at first and then they lost Ukrainian and Belarusian princedoms to Lithuania in 14th century.
      Mongols still controlled Muscovy until the middle of 16th century. That's when Muscovy finally broke out from the Mongolian overlords and started to expand and transform itself into the state that we know today as Russia

    1. Standing on the Ugra river was never about a bloody battle. It was rather showcase of Russian dominance in technologies because "gazing" is a consequence of the lack of self-confidence of the Khan of Kazan. Ivan's general Kholmsky intentionally didn't begin offensive due to experience of tatar warfare after two centuries of yoke. So, he decided to stand and prevent any big clashes between armies that would lead to false retreat strategy. Even Ivan the third himself was initially pissed of such tactics but recognized his success when he saw the results.
    Battle of kulikovo field is more proper example of classic medieval battle in this case but we can't deny the importance of the standing because it led to the reconquering of the horde's leftovers.
    2. Ivan really finished the yoke, because Russian princes and later Tsars never talked to the tatars as before. Even payments to the Crimean tatars were more like a raid prevention than real yoke.

      The Saar invasion is another noteworthy example of a battle that doesnt contain any fighting but changed the world. If the French actually went on the offensive during that invasion, they could’ve possibly weakened Nazi Germany and delay WW2 from escalating further.
      However, since the french were unwilling to fight Germany without Britain’s support and look like an aggressor, they pulled out of the invasion and inadvertently allowed the Wehrmacht to grow stronger without resistance. Later, the Germans would invade the French through the Ardennes the next year.

      so called "mongols" were primitive till 1991, they became country thanks to Stalin only in 1921, they had nothing beside huts and camels, In order to go to war, country has to be developed , where and how they get metal if they never had metallurgy or ore minding. (according to google) in 1500 mongol population was 600,000 minus women and children, in Russia that time was 15 millions minus children, cz women could fight same as their man.

    A often forgotten factor in Moscows rise to power was the rule of Ivan I in the early 14th century, he haid gained favor with the Khan through the revolts by Tver, and he was able to reduce raids into the Moscow region, and also oversee taxation for the Khan instead of through the Baskak system. This allowed Ivan to fill Moscows treasury and Moscows security and wealth attracted both the Orthodox church, adding to Moscows prestige and legitimacy, and a large portion of nearby Boyars, increasing Moscows military power. Ivan was able to consolidate nearby lands under Moscow rule. Ivan I earned himself the nickname 'Kalita' meaning moneybags.

      The Mongol empire failed just like all empires fail. All empires to stay in existence need to conquer new lands and populations in an expanding cycle to hold together the economy and rival factions (with tributes from the conquered) within the empire. When one faction becomes to strong or to weak civil War begins and decentralisation starts. Ultimately independence and new states are formed.
      A good example is the collapse of the western Roman empire and new city states which arose in Italy. Then to have independence from Austria, Spain and France. Italy had 3 wars of independence in the 1800s. Mongolia was isolated between the Russian empire and China hence Mongolia's present state land mass today.

    While editing a few Wikipedia articles I came across the little known fact that the trade routes across the steppe had dried up with the decline of the mongols, and that the arab expansion blocked the east asia trade routes as well with massive taxes on goods. As such China was seen as the golden land and the west european kingdoms started into investing into marine expeditions to get around the blocked land routes - eventually leading to the Age of Discovery. //
    It did basically start off when the Reconquista (as it was later known) reached the southern parts of Iberia and with the defeat the marroccan sultan in 1340 they could establish direct trade routes with Africa. This led to ships getting better and bigger over time to reach lands more far away up until the european powers reached southern China in 1513 in Tamão. While not in direct contact, the turmoils in the steppe had a dramatic economic impact that would change the world forever.

    Popularly called The Golden Horde, the domains of the heirs of Jochi were not known by that name. The term ‘Golden Horde’ does not enter the sources until the sixteenth century, when Russian chroniclers referred to the domains as Zolotaia Orda, the Golden Camp or Palace.¹ During the Mongol era, they were known as the Kipchak Ulus or Khanate or the Jochid Ulus or Khanate. The Kipchak Khanate appellation came later and was a substitution for the Dasht-i Kipchak, or the Kipchak Steppes.

Inheriting mongol style yarlig issued by Kippchak Khanate (GoldenHorde) to i.e. Metropolitan of Kiev Peter or Alexius means no vassal relations for Lithuania to Horde too it meant only that those tributes required by yarlig will not be paid anymore.

      Weird. First CZcams gets rid of fan-made subtitles and now they allow you to let an AI read them out to you. What is even the point?

    I hope when next video about rus' history will be uploaded they pay attention to Ivan the first "Kalita", whose biography and his rivalry with Mikhail Of Tver is an interesting topic to tell about

      Some people even argue, that Russia is the direct descendant of Mongol empire. They took over the Mongol warfare tactics and partly their absolutist form of rule.

    So one night the mMngols put Russia in the pocket of their favorite old coat, but the next day their wife gave away their old coat to some charity without checking the pockets and some guy named Ivan found it in the pocket. :)
