There are two points of view on consequences of the Mongolian yoke.
According to the first point of view the Mongolian invasion had negative influence on development of Russia.
- 49 Russian cities, from 74, have been destroyed by Batu Khan. In 14, life wasn't restored any more.
- Many craft secrets have been lost.
- The population of the country was sharply reduced (murders, slavery).
- Decline of agriculture, craft, culture
- Movement of Russia to despotic board has amplified
According to the second point of view any influence of Mongols on Russia is denied, down to denying existence of the Mongolian yoke.
At the Russian schools the first point of view is preferred.
As to Genghis Khan. It's impossible to tell that the attitude to his person in Russia is negative. Probably because Genghis Khan actually has not won Russia. The Mongolian yoke in Russia begins in 1237, 10 years after Genghis Khan's death. The conqueror was Batu Khan, Genghis Khan's grandson.
Even it's possible to tell that the attitude to Genghis Khan is positive. Russian director Sergey Bodrov has shot such film as Mongol, which glorify Genghis Khan's person.
