Otherwise Russians were left alone, free to practise their religions, and do whatever they wish, within reason.

The unwise sons Yuroslov the wise indirectly united Russia. It started off with encountering the Mongols at the Battle of the Kalka River, and ended with defeating the Mongols about three centuries later. The disorder of Kievan Rus, bowed before the immense strength of the Mongolian Empire. The provinces were constantly fighting for dominance, power, and resources, while wasting resources by doing so. Their princes destroyed the country by depleting it resources for the most brainless of things. They would fight amongst themselves and kill their own people, therefore weakening the nation. It was only a matter of time, that Kievan Rus was conquered. The organized and vengeful army of Sabutai and Jubei, completely slaughtered the divided troops of the Russian/Polovetsi alliance.

The success of the empire was credited to their strict law and order. For instance, pack animals “could be left unattended because of the severity of (Mongol) laws against theft” (Document 7) including consequences such as, “being burned alive upside-down” (Document 5). This displays how fear allowed for low crime rates, protecting travelers and allowing them prosper in trade. In addition, the Mongols conquered cultures with the belief that “karma” was the consequences to one’s actions.…

Many foreigners also began to have higher governmental positions while Chinese citizens were placed in regional levels and…

    Given its military prowess, the Mongol Empire was able to stretch its territory to an extraordinary level--the four corners of the border were marked by Poland, Egypt, Java, and Japan. (Weatherford 214) The empire covered most of Asia and tiny parts of Europe and Africa. Despite the suffering from the warfare, the areas under the Mongol rule “were able to enjoy a unprecedented century of political peace with a commercial, technological, and intellectual explosion unlike any in prior history.” (Weatherford 214)…

Russian factories were unable to produce sufficient amounts of weapons, munitions or machinery.

    The Russian Orthodox Church played a leading role in unifying lands under the power of Moscow, freeing them from the yoke of the Golden Horde. When the church's center of power was transferred from Vladimir to Moscow at the beginning of the fourteenth century, the Muscovy Princes profited greatly. As Moscow became a political power and one of Eastern Europe's most potent centralized states, the significance of the Russian Orthodox Church also increased. The voice of the Metropolitan of Rus' began to be heard more and more loudly as Moscow declared itself true defender of the Orthodox faith. Around the turn of the sixteenth century, a new political idea arose in the monasteries of Russia, that of "Moscow, the third Rome."…
