The Mongols in Russia

"The Mongols in Russia" by Jeremiah Curtin is a historical exploration that examines the connections and conflicts between the Mongols and the beginnings of Russia. The book describes the world that the Mongols occupied, explaining their retreat from Western Europe and how they established their capital in Sarai. It then shifts to the story of early Russia, telling about the structure of Slavic settlements and the important people and events that eventually led to the threats and interactions with the Mongols. It sets the scene to understand the complex relationships and important clashes that resulted from these interactions.
