From the vast steppes of Central Asia, a Mongol army descended on Rus'—and for two centuries, the Golden Horde reshaped the lands that would become Russia. This show traces the Horde's rise under Batu Khan, the brutal sack of Kyiv (1240), and the tributary system that forced Rus' princes to bow in Sarai. Lucas and Luna guide you through the shifting alliances between Moscow, Tver, and the Horde; the role of Orthodox Christianity under Mongol protection; and the eventual 'Great Stand on the Ugra River' (1480) that ended Mongol dominance. We explore the Horde's internal splits: the Blue and White Hordes, the rise of Khan Tokhtamysh, and Tamerlane's crushing invasion. Debates over Mongol legacy—did they isolate Russia from Europe or forge its autocratic state?—run through every episode. From the Battle of Kulikovo (1380) to the Khan's tax collectors and the yam postal system, this is the story of an empire that ruled from the Volga to the Danube, blending shamanism, Islam, and steppe warfare. A history of conquest, adaptation, and the long shadow of Mongolian dominance. #GoldenHorde #MongolEmpire #BatuKhan #Kyiv1240 #Sarai #Rus #BlueHorde #WhiteHorde #Tokhtamysh #Tamerlane #BattleOfKulikovo #UgraRiver1480 #YamSystem #SteppeEmpires #MedievalRussia #MongolYoke #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
