Mongols and Rus
Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
For at least two centuries, Rus was part of the Mongol Empire, the largest state in world history, and did a lot to strengthen and prosper it: Russian recruits played leading roles in Mongol military campaigns, thousands of Russian craftsmen worked in the Golden Horde and Mongolia, the Russian guard in Beijing, which became the capital of the Mongols, served as the support of the imperial court... To those accustomed to historical clichés, Georgy Vernadsky's book may seem quite unexpected. At the same time, he relies exclusively on facts contained in Mongolian, Chinese, Arabic, Central Asian, Russian, and European sources. 'Mongols and Rus' is an encyclopedia of the most important period in Russian history. Georgy Vernadsky is the greatest historian of Russian emigration, a professor at Yale University, a laureate of the prize 'For outstanding achievements in Slavic studies', a student of Vasily Klyuchevsky, and the son of the great thinker Vladimir Vernadsky.
