But actually, there were no any mongolo-tatar invasion. just try to imagine this, take a map, find all the places related and you'll understand why I say so. Our famous historian Lev Gumilev proved all this in his searchings. one reason: suh an invasion was just impossible.

Lev Gumilev went even further and proved the existense of rather simbiotic relationship between the Orda and Kievian Russ.Prime example is St. Alexandr Nevskiy,who succesfully stopped Western crusaders.While paying tribute to the Orda,he had almost unlimited military assistance to control and protect Russia's Western borders from Roman Catholic expantion.
