Abstract
This chapter examines the Mongol conquest of Kyivan Rus, describing the military leadership of Genghis Khan, the campaigns of Batu, and the political fragmentation that prevented coordinated Rus resistance. It explains how the Golden Horde governed Rus through tribute, military service, administrative supervision, and indirect princely authority operating from Sarai. The chapter analyses the gradual decline of Mongol dominance, highlighting the Battle of Kulikovo, Ivan III's rejection of Mongol authority, and Moscow's later expansion into former Horde territories. It also evaluates scholarly debates concerning Mongol influence on Russian political development, economic recovery, cultural change, administrative practice, and the rise of Muscovite centralization. Finally, the chapter assesses the destructive and transformative consequences of Mongol rule, including a look at demographic devastation, commercial integration, institutional adaptation, strengthened Orthodox Church support for Moscow, and princely consolidation.
