Mongol invasion of Rus'. 1223-1253. Khrustalov D.

A epoch -shaped break, sharing the Russian history into before and after - the Mongol invasion of the XIII century. It establishes a mark on the church and political separation of Rus' to the east and the West, when determining ideological mutual influences and tectonic shifts in the worldview. And all this is only partly, to a certain extent that you can argue about.

How did Rus Mongols meet 800 years ago? What was their superiority? How did it happen that these "alien" horsemen defeated almost any enemy? It would seem that they can against impregnable fortresses? They are just nomads! And what do they need? Where are they and why? But there was a battle, and then the defeat of Russian cities. And a new world came.

The book talks about the Mongol invasion of all sources available now. The material is described extremely openly without a traditional ethnocultural or geopolitical fluer and provides an opportunity to peer into what happened independently, draw your own conclusion.
