"Mongols from Mongolia"


The hordes of Batu attacked the Polovtsians, Volga Bulgaria and Rus'. They defeated and conquered the Polovtsian steppe, the Volgars-Bulgars (future Kazan Tatars) and the fragmented Russian principalities. The terrible "Mongol-Tatar yoke" began. This is the official version that has been promoted in Russia since the time of Karamzin.



True, there are many facts that do not fit into this version. The fake about "Mongols from Mongolia" was launched by the papal envoy Plano Carpini and other agents of the Vatican.

Firstly, there were no "Mongols" in Rus'. There were battles, destroyed cities. But there were no Mongols. Archeology shows that Caucasians - representatives of the white race - fought on both sides. There were no hordes of Mongols-Mongoloids in Europe. This is shown by modern genetic studies. Attempts to find "Mongoloidness" in Russians ended in complete failure.

Although the centuries-old stay of a large number of "Mongols" in the Golden Horde, given the dominance of racial characteristics (in a simple way: a Russian mother and a Mongol father will have children with a predominance of Mongoloid racial characteristics), should have left corresponding racial traces. But they are not! That is, there were no "Mongolian" hordes in Eastern Europe!

Secondly, the then Mongols were at a low level of spiritual and material development - shepherds, cattle breeders and hunters. Approximately, like the Indians of the tribes of North America. Accordingly, a handful of shepherd-hunters simply could not create an invincible army, arm it and crush the developed, strong neighboring kingdoms. Create the greatest Eurasian empire. For this, an appropriate level of development was needed.

enough to know history: Assyria, Babylon, the Persian Empire, the Empire of Alexander the Great or the Roman Empire had a correspondingly high level of development, economy, made revolutions in military affairs (for example, the Macedonian phalanx or the Roman legion).

Nothing has changed in the new history. Napoleon crushed almost all of Europe. The Second and Third Reichs were the leading economies in Europe. Hitler got all the resources of Europe. The Soviet superpower is the second economy in the world. The only modern superpower is the United States, the world's first economy, advanced technologies, including military ones.

That is, to create a great empire, an appropriate spiritual, organizational, material, economic, and technological potential is required. The Mongolian shepherds did not have it. Like the Indians of North America, otherwise they would have easily swept away the first bunch of European slave-pirates. A handful of shepherds and hunters could not conquer huge China or Rus', even fragmented. Create a huge and developed empire with dozens of city-cities.

White (Golden) Horde-Rod


This is already enough to understand that there were no Mongol-Tatars in Rus'. They were invented to distort, cut off the true multi-thousand-year history of Rus'-Russia. In fact, Rus' was the direct heir to the ancient northern civilization - the legendary Hyperborea, the kingdom of the Aryans-Rus and Great Scythia.

Hyperborea-Aryans-Scythians-Russ lived on our land, in the north of Eurasia since ancient times. From Central Europe, the Balkans and the Carpathians in the west to the borders of China and Japan in the east. Great, advanced civilization. With a powerful spiritual tradition, material culture. The clans of the Rus lived in present-day Germany and Austria (during the onslaught to the East, they were crushed by Catholic Rome - "Slavic Atlantis" in Central Europe). Rus-Russia was created by the Russ families who lived in Novgorod, Kyiv, Chernigov, Smolensk and Suzdal.

There was a huge Scythian-Siberian world of pagan Rus. Known in the annals as "filthy", that is, not Christians. For thousands of years they led a semi-nomadic and at the same time agricultural way of life. It was they who conquered China, Central Asia, conquered the Bulgars (Tatars-Volgars), defeated and included the Polovtsians (also the heirs of Scythia - Caucasians, the closest relatives of the Rus from Kyiv or Chernigov) and invaded the Russian principalities.

The Horde is Rod, Rada. Tumen - darkness, ten thousand warriors. Khan - kokhan, kohan, beloved, respected. This word has been known in Rus' since the time of the Khazaria. So, Prince Vladimir the Baptist was called a kagan. The notorious "Mongols" is a nickname, "Moguls - powerful, great." The "Moguls" did not bring a single Mongolian word to Rus', did not leave a single Mongoloid skull, no Mongoloid racial signs. Because there were no Mongols in Rus'.

But the battle between Christian Rus and pagan Rus of the Scythian-Siberian world (hence the "animal" style of dress, tradition) was fierce. Russ with Russ always fight very cruelly. Nothing has changed in the modern world: Russians-Great Russians are fighting with Russians-Little Russians.

It was a big mess. The princes-khans fought for power over a vast territory. At the same time, they fraternized, like Yaroslav Nevsky with Batu's son Sartak, gave their daughters in marriage to each other, spoke the same language. Russian squads with the Horde went to Europe and the Caucasus. Then they completely mixed up. The Horde naturally became Russian by the time of Ivan the Terrible, part of the renewed Russian state. The Horde-Tatar princely-boyar families became part of the common elite.

Part of the Rus-Scythians-Horde adopted Orthodoxy, the other settled in the Golden Horde, Central Asia and China, gave the local peoples princely and imperial dynasties, then dissolved in the masses of the Mongoloid population. This example is not the only one. Many thousands of Russians left for China and other Asian countries after the Troubles of 1917, and in the second generation they became Chinese and other Mongoloids.

What Western falsifying historians and their Russian followers call the Great Empire of Genghis Khan was in fact the Russian Horde Empire, the Empire of the Rus. The degradation of the empire and death were associated with Islamization and Arabization. This became the basis for the split, strife and collapse of the great Eurasian empire of the Rus.

But the empire did not die. She was reborn as a phoenix. The merging of European (Vladimir, Moscow, Tver, Novgorod, Ryazan) and Scythian-Siberian Rus made Rus' the Great, a huge empire from ocean to ocean. The Russians again went east and reached the Pacific Ocean, reviving the great northern civilization and tradition.

The myth of the "yoke"


The word "yoke" comes from the Latin "yoke", a collar for working cattle. The word is used in a figurative sense, as an oppressive, enslaving force. The ancient Romans forced enemy troops to pass "under the yoke-yoke", which surrendered. To do this, at the place where the army laid down weapon, stuck two spears and tied the third at the top, across. Under it, one by one, with their commanders at the head, without weapons and military distinctions, all the soldiers passed in front of the victors.

The term "yoke" was introduced by the famous historian and Freemason Nikolai Karamzin. Tsarist and then Soviet historians liked this term, and Russians were inspired that from 1238 to 1480 the people lived under the Tatar yoke.

In fact, these were vassal relations common for the then world. Novgorod the Great generally agreed with the Horde, there were no fights. Moscow, Vladimir, Ryazan, Tver and other princes submitted to the Tsar Khan. Russian squads became part of the unified army of the Golden Horde. And after the pogrom of Batu, the "nasty" came to the Russian principalities until 1380 only at the invitation of our own princes, who tried to get rid of competitors.

Interestingly, the "wild nomad shepherds" immediately created a developed civilization. Although it doesn't just happen. This takes centuries of development. On the Volga, Don and lower reaches of the Dnieper in the XIII-XIV centuries. dozens of cities built by "nomads" were erected. They were made of stone, with luxurious manor palaces and even water pipes. Compared to these cities, Paris and London were dirty villages, which in fact they were. Obviously, many of these settlements were simply rebuilt, they were the legacy of Great Scythia.

Trade routes and communications operated throughout the empire. There was a huge trade turnover between Rus' and the Horde along the Volga route. The caravans of Russian merchants apparently reached India and China. The story of Afanasy Nikitin is a piece of this mosaic.

Speaking of the "yoke", researchers interested in fakes ignore the fact that the Russian ushkuiniki (Novgorodians who followed the traditions of the Rus-Varangians-Vikings) were a thunderstorm for the entire empire on the Volga. River flotilla from the ushki - vessels of the "river-sea" class, sailed along the Frozen Sea (Arctic Ocean), the Baltic, the Volga and the Kama.

The Horde could not cope with them and constantly asked for help from the Grand Dukes of Moscow and Vladimir. The Moscow Grand Dukes had to fight with this freemen with varying degrees of success. Cossacks of the North. The Ushkuiniki usually successfully beat the Moscow governors. But Moscow could arrange an economic blockade of Novgorod and eventually conquered it.

"Tatar-Mongol yoke" - a myth, a fake. There were vassal relations. The Russian princes themselves brought the Horde to Rus', just as they used to lead the Polovtsy, who burned and robbed the cities and villages of competitors. Rus' and the Horde were part of a single empire. Then the Horde decomposed, fell apart, and Moscow Rus became the center of a new revived northern empire.

      The myth of the Tatar-Mongol yoke

      But what about the amendment to the Constitution prohibiting deviating from the "formed interpretation of historical events"? an amendment that made history not a science, but a religion? You should not build new theories based on new sources or archaeological materials that have been discovered, but strictly follow the classical theory, approved by the "luminaries" and "authorities" of historical science and approved by the authorities. Everything else: no-no! Taboo!

        The official interpretation is already changing. From Putin’s long-standing statement about the existence of Tartaria and the absence of the yoke, the view of the problem of scientists is gradually (replaced) as evidenced by the International Scientific Seminar “From the Empires of Tartaria to the Russian Empire of Peter” was held on November 28-30, 2022 on the basis of Kazan Federal University. It was attended by historians and officials from science.

          International scientific seminar "From the empires of Tartaria to the Russian Empire of Peter"

          Once I laughed at Ukrainian "historians" like Bebik and their "scientific" seminars, but now it has come to us. I believe that very soon such "historians" will argue with the "Great Ukrainians" about who dug up the Black Sea and from whom the ancient Sumerians descended. When the state cannot boast of success in the economy, medicine, space exploration, etc. it then invents such chimeras about Tartaria and "there were no Mongols" and similar anti-scientific nonsense.

              So the "great Mongolian empire" is the same anti-scientific nonsense and the exact same legend about digging up the Black Sea with hands, only with Mongolian ones. The difference is that the myth about Rus'-Horde is patriotic, and the myth about Great Mongolia is exotic, about a distant fairyland. Like the modern myth about Shambhala in Tibet.
              Only this is an officially accepted myth. But that doesn't make it a non-myth. 100 years ago, scientists were sure of the existence of the world ether, 200 years ago they recognized the World sweat, 300 years ago - phlogiston ... Science is science because it is able to revise theories, and not just reproduce them.

                  Descendants of the Aryans - haplogroup R1a. And the Germans and Anglo-Saxons have R1b. And that's it. Among the Slavic peoples and some others, R1a is the main haplogroup.
                  If interested, read books by Anatoly Klyosov about genealogy. Everything is clear there.

                Another game with the word "patriotism"? Don't mess around with this word. Did Batu come to Rus'? Came. Did you even reach Italy in Eastern Europe? Reached. And did the Mongols leave traces in the genotype of the Rus and other peoples of Russia? No. Well, turn on the logic ....
                After all, how many people have already said, they say that history develops in a spiral, which means that events in one form or another repeat themselves. Here is Batu's campaign - and if you look at it, as at the Special Operation of that time?

                  Traces in the genotype of the Russians come from nowhere. For during the direct conquest of the Russian principalities, the army of the Mongols numbered hardly more than 40000 people. And then there was no need to set up any serious garrisons in each destroyed city. How to take the entire population into slavery. The empire was for that and an empire that collected taxes from the conquered territories. At the same time, the policy towards the local residents was no worse than if the Russian prince ruled the peasants.

                    And how did 40 people conquer all of Rus', how to collect taxes from the destroyed cities, what did these "taxes" look like? This is now a tax - these are ones and zeros that are transferred from one account to another, and in the 000th century all taxes could be exclusively in kind.
                    Think about such questions and you will understand that the conquest of Rus' by the Mongols is a legend, unless you consider that these were not modern Mongols, but some other people.

                      The Mongols conquered Rus' very simply. In two steps. For about 3 years of active hostilities in total. I won't write anything for you here. I would only recommend looking at the REAL historian of middeist Klim Zhukov. He quite simply and intelligibly explains in his videos why Rus', even having rallied with all the principalities (and this was simply impossible at that time), could not oppose ANYTHING to the Mongol army.

                Exactly. In fact, all these terms are name-calling: "alternatives"; "non-alternatives"; "old chronologists"; "new chronology" and so on - it's all just a circus by and large in order to attract as many people as possible, who can sell their art books.
                In fact, the struggle of the "old chronologists" with the "new chronologists", or how else can one say the struggle of the admirers of "Great Mongolia" with the admirers of "Great Tataria" - this is the struggle of the Nanai boys. They can no longer live without each other and represent two hands of one body. Well, or they represent two heads of the same Serpent Gorynych, who quarrel with each other and spit at each other.
                But by and large, both those (admirers of Great Mongolia) and others (admirers of Great Tataria) are equally "hrenologists". For documentary historical sources, on which they build their castles in the air, neither the first nor the second. Both of them have only one narrative, it is not known when and it is not known by whom it was actually written. Since mankind does not know the handwriting of any of the so-called "ancient authors", including the handwriting of Rashid ad-Din himself.

                Easy. Firstly, there is no direct evidence of its existence, except for the established opinion of historians.

                Secondly. It is physically impossible to organize such an aggressive campaign, which is attributed to the Mongol. The bandwidth of the communication routes does not allow.

                Thirdly, even if by some miracle they went on a campaign and even won, then for the existence of a centralized state, which Mongolia allegedly was, regular movements of troops and fodder are needed, and this is impossible.

                By the way, historians usually press on their authority, but the phenomenon of the state is studied not by history, but by another discipline - the theory of state and law. And the state is not just an area on the map to shade, it must have certain attributes.

                    >>And the opinions of historians on what is based, what do you think?

                    The opinion of modern historians is based on the opinion of historians of the 18th century, and they had a political order. However, they were largely based on the opinion of even older chroniclers, who also had a political order. At the same time, the chronicles themselves, if we consider them, at the very least, primary sources, are interpreted tendentiously.

                    >> do you mean what message paths

                    Land horses.

                    >> And what about in the area where they went hiking fodder, it was not possible to get?

                    Firstly, in such a volume it is impossible. Secondly, even if it were possible, it would be suitable for a feudal-type state, but we are told that the Mongols had a strict centralization. And for this you need to have a regular army that can be transferred from ulus to ulus in order to crush riots, and for this you must not only have fodder, but also transfer after the army from loyal to disloyal uluses. Only in this way did all centralized states arise.

                        And why should the neighboring uluses spend their people to crush the rebels? In any case, why should one do this without knocking out privileges and land from the khan as gratitude, which would instantly turn a centralized state into a feudal one? Feudalism, after all, arose, why are the Mongols not like people?

                        Regular troops need regular supplies and lines of communication through which they can be transferred, as well as fortresses that can be used as strongholds, etc. You write articles about the strategy of military operations at sea, Andrei, but for some reason you think that in the 13th century it was possible to fight without logistics. More precisely, with fantastic logistics.

                    Dear Andrey! You're being ironic. The Roman Empire is clearly heavily mythologized, but it undoubtedly existed. In one form or another. And left a lot of material traces of its existence - buildings throughout its zone of influence, including religious ones; philosophy, science and cultural influence; the dominance of the Latin language, etc. The Roman Empire did not disappear without a trace: the Western part remains the base of the RCC to this day, the Eastern part was reborn into the Ottoman Empire (whose rulers stubbornly called themselves the successors of the Byzantine basileus). Modern Italy and Turkey are industrialized countries, albeit of the second magnitude.

                    The Roman Empire not only left traces of its existence. It is quite realistic from a physical point of view, since is based on the maritime logistics of the Mediterranean Basin - the most favorable region for navigation on Earth. So Rome could not exist, it had to be born in this very place and no other civilization could play the same role as the Roman Empire. Although, of course, the capital city could not be located in Italy (which, apparently, it was) - but this did not affect the entire state structure.
                    The Mongols allegedly did not bring anything of their own, but only quickly copied the Chinese, but they did not bring anything Chinese to Rus' either. But for some reason they destroyed a clean mass of settlements. Mongolia itself did not receive anything materially from these conquests. Yes, and I could not get it, because for the development of transport at the level of the 12th century, Easter Island was more accessible than the outback of Eurasia, and therefore, in principle, it could not be the base for aggressive expansion.

                    As for the "heaps of sources", they are not _material_ traces of the existence of this historical phantom. Paper will endure everything. A bunch of sources talk about the Flood, or people with dog heads, or giants, or the kingdom of Prester John - but historians consider it all a myth, precisely because geologists do not confirm the flood, and archaeologists have not found skeletons of cynocephals and others rephaims. Legends about Prester John, by the way, have long been associated with the Mongols, who were considered Christians. Now John is considered a myth, but the Mongols are not. By the way, Lev Gumilyov also believed that both data on the special cruelty of the Mongol army of the XIII century and John were a political order, and his prototype was a completely different person who had a different name and was not a Christian.

                    “Sources” are for the most part legends and myths, which are now considered at face value only because the existence of cynocephals seems like an obvious fiction, and the unreality of an army of many thousands moving off-road is subjectively not obvious to historians.
                    Some sources, in fact, turn out to be miraculously found as the only copies of some forgotten chronicles already in the era of printing, from no one knows where they came from. Others simply paraphrase information from earlier sources. But even if the sources are considered reliable, the problem of their interpretation remains. For example, in well-known sources it is said that some “Tatars” attacked Rus', and in the eastern sources it is said that the Mongols attacked China, among them there was a certain tribe of Tatars. And historians make a powerful conclusion that these are one and the same people under a single centralized control.
                    Sometimes, even when translating names, they are immediately translated in the right way, so that ordinary readers do not have the suspicion that the conquests of different peoples are mixed into one heap.

                    With the same success, if the history of the world were written, for example, by the Indians, then they could record all the bearded, pale-faced Christians with the Latin alphabet in different tribes under the control of one ruler - although we know that the European states have never been united and all the way cut with each other until 1945.
                    These are all historical phantoms, such as the kingdoms of Prester John and the Cynocephali.

                  Secondly. It is physically impossible to organize such an aggressive campaign, which is attributed to the Mongol. The bandwidth of the communication routes does not allow.

                  Modern Russian engineers and designers are not able, without a computer, to reproduce on relays, lamps and 511 series microcircuits the automation of Soviet machine tools of 1985 created at a time before the spread of computers. This does not mean that the Ordzhonikidze plant in Moscow until 1985 could not produce machine tools and automatic lines. Logistics problems before the advent of the steam engine were almost identical for Genghis Khan, Yermak, and Khabarov. Russia in 70 years from the foundation of Mangazeya reached Ussuri and Okhotsk. Around the same time, the Mongols reached from Khorezm to Europe. Just as the Mongolian army smashed the Russian armies on Kalka, in the same way the Buryat Mongols smashed the Russian archers in the 17th century in the Buryat steppe if they managed to attack them in rainy weather, when the then small arms could not operate. If Khabarov fought on equal terms with the multi-million Manchurian empire, then why couldn’t Batu, with a larger army than Khabarov had, defeat the smaller Russian state compared to China? In the 17th century, the Chinese were saved from the loss of Primorye and the Amur Region by a detachment of several hundred Korean musketeers. During the defense of Kyiv, Ryazan and Kozelsk, the Russians did not have firearms and these cities were taken by the Mongols in the same way as the Cossacks of Khabarov took the Daurian towns, being compared to the Daurs in a 10-fold minority.

                    Do you know why I participate in such holivars? To personally make sure that the "officials" have no arguments, except for irrelevant analogies that only prove the fakeness of the official global chronology

                    >> This does not mean that the Ordzhonikidze plant in Moscow until 1985 could not produce machine tools and automatic lines.

                    And what does this prove? This proves the obvious thing: other things being equal (this is important), the larger the economy, the more opportunities it has for technological growth. The USSR was twice as powerful as the Russian Federation, even purely in terms of the amount of resources - and therefore could do more. But with the Mongols, for some reason, the opposite is true: it is not the Chinese who capture them, but they capture the Chinese. Those. absurdity.

                    >> Logistics problems before the advent of the steam engine were almost identical for Genghis Khan, Yermak, and Khabarov.

                    Try to prove this powerful thesis. Like, logistics at sea changed drastically in the transition from oar and direct sail to ocean-going ships with a slanting sail, and on land nothing happened. So did Napoleon and Prince Igroy also have the same conditions?
                    But that's not the point. The fact is that Yermak ... Moved along the Chusovaya River. Suddenly. All of a sudden, the logistics were tied to rivers with normal supply and normal transportable supplies, and not to horse races with the use of pasture.
                    At the same time, Yermak had no more than a thousand people, and the advantage over the locals was achieved not by numbers, but by more advanced equipment - firearms. Those. a more developed (technologically and economically) society won over a less developed one.
                    This is how you refute yourself with irrelevant analogies)))

                    >> Russia for 70 years from the founding of Mangazeya reached the Ussuri and Okhotsk.

                    Along the rivers with a gunshot. Irrelevant analogy.

                    >> Buryat Mongols smashed Russian archers in the 17th century in the Buryat steppe if they managed to attack them in rainy weather

                    Those. the local population uses the shortcomings of the firearm. And the Mongols used what disadvantages? In the 13th century there was no firearm, the situation was the same. So the example is irrelevant. At the same time, oddly enough, the natives could wet the Russian troops on their territory, but they could not conduct an offensive, and the Indians, Maori and other Zulus had exactly the same problems - even winning on the battlefield, they lost strategically.
                    And only the Mongols are all fabulous.

                    >> Khabarov fought on equal terms with the multi-million dollar Manchurian empire

                    Thanks to the technological advantage.

                    >> why is Batu with a larger army

                    Because a larger army requires more supplies, which is impossible to provide.

                    >> could not defeat the smaller compared to China, the Russian state?

                    Because he didn't have a technological advantage.

                    >> The Chinese in the 17th century were saved from the loss of Primorye and the Amur Region by a detachment of several hundred Korean musketeers.

                    Because for Russia, actions in the Far East took place with a very long supply arm and it was not possible to transfer a large number of troops; therefore, detachments of several hundred people decided. Not like the fabulous Mongols, who drove armies of tens of thousands of people.

                    >> these cities were taken by the Mongols in the same way as the Cossacks of Khabarov took the Daurian towns
                    But Khabarov had an advantage in firearms, while the Mongols did not have one due to the lack of it.

                    As I say, the examples are irrelevant, you yourself are only pouring water on the mill of revision of history laughing

                  Do you define feudalism only according to European concepts? The economic system in Europe and in the steppe is slightly different.
                  Regarding the impossibility of physical movement:
                  1. Avars from the Southern Urals to Hungary in the middle of the 6th century.
                  2. Turkuts from Central Asia to the Don and Transcaucasia in the middle, end of the 6th century.
                  3. Tamerlane from Central Asia to the Volga in 1391. From Transcaucasia to the borders of the Ryazan Principality in 1395.
                  Crimean Tatars in the 16-17 centuries regular campaigns against Rus'. Sometimes even to Moscow.
                  4. Nogais are the same.
                  5. Resettlement of Kalmyks to the lower Volga in the 17th century.
                  It's so offhand. Period of 1000 years. Moreover, nomads did not have any special communications or technological breakthrough during this time (namely, in the possibility of movement).
                  The Mongols did not have a centralized state. Just like in Europe at that time. The feudal system just allows you to abandon the regular movement of troops.

                    No matter how you dig into the Tolkinist-Mongolkinists, Niagara of nonsense constantly pours out of them: "unique Mongolian horses", which rode 300-600 kilometers at "one refueling", rustled with bare hooves on the ice of rivers, and got food for themselves from under snowdrifts, etc. .P. Indeed, Mongolian horses can get their food from under the snow in winter. They can. But again - thermodynamics and features of digestion. During the day of feeding (tebenevka), the Mongolian horse travels at most several hundred meters in winter. Why? It's not just the snow, though that's also the reason. Dry hay is a very low-calorie food, an animal needs a lot of it to make up for energy losses in the winter (even if it "does not work"), and the process of digesting plant food (grass) in the stomach takes long hours (up to 12-13 hours) .

                    A horse is not a wolf, in which everything is digested in 2-3 hours. Therefore, the horse, as a herbivore, cannot devour on the move and gallop further. Can not. You can speed up the process by giving high-energy feed - oats, barley, etc. (it enters from the stomach into the intestines after 4-5 hours), but here it is already necessary to approach with caution, because no one has canceled the laws of digestion. They gave a little more, they gave the wrong grain - that's it, the little animal died.

                    Finally. The horse cannot starve! A modern temporal Wahhabi will still agree that a car with an empty gas tank will not go anywhere, but about a horse he will argue to the user. Whereas a hungry horse abruptly ceases to "work" in the desired mode. Starving for more than a day, a maximum of two, the horse stupidly lies down. And that's it. A horse - Mongolian, Angolan, Ethiopian - no matter which one, produces up to 20-30 liters of gastric juice every day (not counting another 15-20 liters of saliva). The horse cannot but eat, because, as a herbivore, it is designed for the constant arrival of food masses. A horse consumes 10-20 kilograms of hay, several kilograms of oats, etc. per day. (bran and so on). The Mongols did not feed horses with oats, which means that a little more low-calorie hay should have gone. These are the basics of biology, these are the basics of the peculiarities of the digestion of these animals, and this is all the same thermodynamics.

                    Therefore, ANY cavalry army on our planet is critically dependent on horse feed and its availability. Critically. There are none or they are not enough - PPC kitten. It's like fuel for mechanized columns. No fuel - the column rises. Horses are getting worse - they die instantly with starvation. Alas, biology. A horse is not even a tractor or a truck. No fuel - no horse. Dumb.


                    In January 1771, the Mongols living on the left bank of the Volga, numbering from 50 to 100 thousand people (the numbers are most likely inaccurate, in reality there were less significant) rushed across the winter Kazakh steppe to Dzungaria. In a few months of a campaign on the sad surface of reality, being subjected to raids by the Kazakhs (the Oirats beat the Kazakhs like dogs for 150 years, and they naturally recouped them), the Mongols - children of the steppes and owners of amazing horses - lost two-thirds of their livestock and up to a third of "personnel ". In 1645, the army of the Crimean Khan Kazy-Girey invaded the winter campaign (!) along the Muravsky Way. Due to the weather (frost) and lack of food, the Tatars lost up to half of their horses and up to a third of their warriors. The geography of the raid - the territory of modern Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh regions. Therefore, the Tatars tried not to go hiking in winter. This is understandable why.

                  An ordinary conqueror, having captured several concubines, is fed up with prey and turns into a homebody slave owner. Tamerlane, Genghis Khan and Batu were pathological sadists, and in order to force their warriors to go on killing, they often ordered to completely massacre the population or took away women with them, killing those who had weakened along the way. In Afghan legends there is a legend about how Genghis Khan showed his mercy. He stabbed the mother of the infant and delayed stabbing her son. The son, instead of the mother's breast, began to lick the blood of his mother from the spear of Genghis Khan. Humanity woke up in that and he decided to do good to the child. After thinking, he decided to kill the child out of his mercy, so that he would not die of hunger in the absence of a nurse.

                And everything is simple, the first who announced the Tatar-Mongolian yoke was the Pole Jan Dlugosha and said that Vasya 3 threw off the yoke. But he really died before this event. The second is a Tatar ordinary writer of the 19th century who undertook to write a story that, as it turned out, no one knew, at the request of the emperor for a lot of money. As you guessed, - Karamzin Nikolai Mikhailovich. Then it went like a snowball without understanding the details, solid theorists. The fact that Karamzin could be wrong did not bother anyone, all his volumes were perceived as truth. He gave this number to Ivanov and Vasiliev, i.e. Ivan the Terrible did not know that he was the fourth. So think.

            It's a pity to upset you, but Tartaria is a completely objective historical reality. It is enough to look at the maps from the beginning of the 19th century and earlier. Tartary is everywhere. Including in the British Encyclopedia of 1771.
            If there is a desire and a certain perseverance, you can get into the collection of David Ramsey cards. There are over 120 cards from the 000th century and younger. Ramsey is a millionaire (or billionaire) who is fond of cards and has a huge collection of them.
            Their use for commercial purposes is charged. But you can see it in great resolution.
            There you can see a lot of unexpected things. Including Tartary.

There, too, the emperor of Tartaria is of a completely European appearance. And the ruler of China is an obvious Mongoloid, but not an emperor, but a king under the rule of the emperor of Tartaria.
            In general, there are many unusual things in such sources.
            Andrey Lyzlov (late 17th century) writes history about the Russian/Slavic peoples, but the book is called "Scythian History". And modern genealogy confirms this, the Scythians - almost 100% have the haplogroup R1a, Aryan, Slavic.
            And on the maps of the 15th century, the habitats of the Slavs / Russians are called Sarmatia.
            Tartaria is mentioned in sources until the middle of the 19th century. On the maps (including Russian ones) - Tartaria Independent (Free) on the territory of Central Asia - until the 1860s. In the catalogs of the Haralds (also in Ramsey) in the middle of the 19th century there is a coat of arms, a flag, a sea flag of Tatraria.
            But the state of Ukraine is not on these maps. There is (not always) terrain on the territory of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Poland. And next to it is the outskirts on the territory of the Ryazan or Vorotyn principalities.

                    The Romanovs are not Russians, especially Catherine 2. She, just, did a lot to distort Russian history.
                    Rus' was part of Tartaria. Gradually squeezed the land in the neighborhood. And under Catherine, the liquidation of Tartaria and the destruction of the memory of her began. That's why they forgot about it so much. The memory of Rus' and the Slavs was also amicably overwritten.
                    And Tartaria was inhabited by the same Aryans and their descendants as Rus'.
                    About 4 years ago, the Aryans dispersed from the southern Urals in all directions. To India (there Brahmins have up to 000% R72a), to Iran, to the Mediterranean.
                    Arabs have power clans with up to 10% R1a. Assad and his wife do not look like Arabs at all, Assad himself has blue eyes.
                    Among the Jews, the Levites have about 60% R1a. These are all sorts of Levins, Levinsons, etc. About them and in the Bible it is said that the Levites were bequeathed to conduct genealogy according to the husband, and not according to the wife, as the rest of the Jews. That is, Levi was from the Aryans, and he, if I am not mistaken, is a descendant of Abraham.
                    That's all about it was ordered to forget.
                    As for the area, no, it is the name of the state. Look at the presentation of the British Encyclopedia, there is about residents there. The table lists the states of Asia, including Tartaria, with capitals, population.

                      Rus' was not part of Tartaria. The Slavs actively populated the territory of modern Russia under Catherine II to the very Vladivostok, under Paul the First Alaska. On the territory that the British designate as a large tartary, various nomadic peoples lived. As history has shown, these peoples could not resist small free detachments that climbed in search of gold in mounds and "for this" changed expensive skins from the natives, recorded as geologists who discovered the Russian land)) Even there are monuments to merchants who were discoverers, a rather risky business. Do not be too lazy to look when Slavic prisons (settlements) appeared according to dates from the Don (or the Volga Basin, to be more precise) to Vladivostok.

                      The merit of Catherine 2 is that she appreciated the historical works of the historian Miller and did not encourage the jingoistic but pseudo-scientific statements of his opponents. By the way, Russia owes the preservation of the Tatishchev Chronicle to Miller.

            In January 1771, the Mongols living on the left bank of the Volga, numbering from 50 to 100 thousand people (the numbers are most likely inaccurate, in reality there were less significant) rushed across the winter Kazakh steppe to Dzungaria. In a few months of a campaign on the sad surface of reality, being subjected to raids by the Kazakhs (the Oirats beat the Kazakhs like dogs for 150 years, and they naturally recouped them), the Mongols - children of the steppes and owners of amazing horses - lost two-thirds of their livestock and up to a third of "personnel ".
            In 1645, the army of the Crimean Khan Kazy-Girey invaded the winter campaign (!) along the Muravsky Way. Due to the weather (frost) and lack of food, the Tatars lost up to half of their horses and up to a third of their warriors. The geography of the raid - the territory of modern Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh regions.

            "Scythian History" by Andrei Lyzlov was written at the end of the 17th century, the author describes many events in detail, but nowhere does he mention the term "Mongols" or "Mongol-Tatars". And Lyzlov does not mention the yoke of the "Mongol-Tatar" either, since he could not have known the terms and interpretations invented later, in the time of Peter the Great, by hired German "historians". Therefore, the author does not make any discoveries, there is nothing new in such hypotheses and views, and the presentation of the history of the version of the late 17th century does not contradict any constitutional norms.

          Because Vikings:

          1) Came from a resource-rich region (rich enough in forest to chop ships and forge iron);
          2) They relied on plausible maritime logistics, in contrast to the fantastic runs of hundreds of thousands of Mongol hordes through the desert and mountains;
          3) Not so many cities and countries were captured, but much more were simply robbed, relying on surprise attacks and local numerical advantage;
          4) They could play pranks only as long as the Europeans were fragmented, and were beaten, as soon as the Europeans organized themselves.
          5) Didn't create an empire from mozha to mozha, although they could.

          That is why the Vikings, "devoid of heritage", like conquistadors, could terrorize Europe, and a handful of some nomadic pastoralists could not conquer Asia.

            Thanks, it's clear...

            It turns out that their "counterparts" from the continent, who built stone fortresses and cities, had worse "resources of the region"? .. Yes ... Who would have thought ...

            scientific vocabulary ... The Vikings, like the Pomors and the Rus, did not have "ships". They had rooks... This is somewhat different...

            And in terms of "technological perfection" - the Viking boat, a means no more "perfect" than a horse cart or a wagon of the "land" Mongols - nomads ...

            Yes, and the leaders of the tribes of the nomadic Mongols, managed with land "logistics" on the routes of their nomads, no worse than the "pilots" of the Vikings with the "plausible" kind of "marine logistics" you mentioned ... According to the "maps", or something, they are their own boats on the seas in raids led? ..

            The Mongols also did not "capture" anything anywhere (and not only in Rus') ... But they robbed the recalcitrant captured cities and villages. They burned and destroyed them almost to the ground. And they destroyed the remaining inhabitants. Everyone, both children and adults ... Some of the healthy were taken into slavery ...

            "Others" were taxed, a few "watchers" were assigned to them ...

            Specify when the aforementioned "Europeans" managed to "organize", specifically for the "beating of the Vikings"? .. How, where and on what basis? .. Just don't rush ... Better, read books first ... Preferably, scientific ones. ..

            Regarding the "inability" of the Mongols TO CONQUER DOMINATION in the space from the Pacific Ocean to the Black and Adriatic Seas, you better start with the Armenian, Central Asian, Persian chroniclers of that era "consult". By the way, they were not "acquainted" with each other while prophesying about this ...

              Did the Mongols build stone fortresses and cities? I wonder where.

              >> And in terms of "technological perfection", - the Viking boat, the tool is no more "perfect" than a horse cart or a wagon of "overland" Mongols - nomads ...

              As follows from the meaning of the law of Archimedes and other basic laws of physics, not only the Viking boat, but even the Polynesian catamaran is, in principle, more perfect than a horse-drawn cart. And not only the Mongolian of the 13th century, but even the American stagecoach of the 19th century.

              For example, the carrying capacity of the knorr is 26 tons, and the wagons are up to two tons. This is a modern wagon, with tires and steel axles. Need further clarification?

              >> Yes, and the leaders of the tribes of the nomadic Mongols, managed with land "logistics

              No matter how cool the shaman the leader of the nomads is, he cannot do anything with the fundamental limitations on the throughput of the overland route.

              >> According to the "carts", or something, they led their boats across the seas in raids? ..

              If you are interested in this, then we swam mainly along the coast, you won’t get lost here.

              >> The Mongols also "captured" nothing and nowhere (and not only in Rus') ...
              But what about the "Mongolian Empire"? This is not a territory of robbery, but an alleged state with an allegedly normal state apparatus: with Baskaks, coachmen, and so on.

              >> And robbed recalcitrant captured cities and villages.

              What did they take, how did they take it out…

              >> burned and destroyed them almost to the ground.

              And of course, no one could oppose anything to the half-dead conquerors, exhausted from a months-long campaign. In general, only the Mongols knew how to fight in the 13th century, the rest had paws. There is no evidence, of course.

              >> Some of the healthy were taken into slavery...

              Where were they taken, what were they fed on the road, where slave labor was used ... What was there in Mongolia - sugar cane plantations or mines?

              >> "Others" were taxed,

              How was the tribute taken out?

              >> assigned a few "watchers" to them...

              The people, of course, did “ku” in front of the “watchers”, as in “Kin-dza-dza”, and did not try to do anything with them for a century and a half. And then from Mongolia they will send a punitive detachment, which for the second time will pass through the devastated places with burned villages and cities, and for the second time they will ruin them. It was Napoleon who had problems when he left the same way that he came, but who is this Napoleon in front of Genghis Khan? loch.

              >> You better start with the Armenian, Central Asian, Persian chroniclers of that era, "consult".

              Let's first consult Greek, Indian, Persian and Egyptian authors about the existence of people with dog heads, and then check with historians and biologists whether there are such people.

              >> Someone Schliemann found-still Troy. But somehow I don’t remember that someone would “find” numerous traces of her long “siege” ...

              So this is not Troy.

          These are not alternatives. What did the conquerors do with women? The genes of the Mongols are dominant in relation to the genes of the Russians, displacing them. Not even 1% of Asian genes were found in the Russian genes, although during this time we should all acquire them. Further more fun, according to official historians, the Mongols came to the Crimea, took the fortresses, drove out the Genoese and settled down. Only now the Mongols went through the Volga region, as a result, the genotype of the Tatars in the Volga region and the Crimea should be similar. The difference is complete, no similarity, a different group.
          The Mongols learned about their conquests in the 19th century.

              You still won’t believe it: at first they moved along the rivers (along the Chusovaya, along the Amur), then they built stationary fortifications (we called them jails, the amers called forts), in which they created food supplies and kept armed detachments. Well, they gradually developed the territory and cut down roads, all this not in two years, but in decades. And this is in conditions when the local population (as it is considered from the official point of view) did not have a state and a regular army.

              And the Americans - no matter how surprising you - at the end of the 18th - beginning of the 19th century already owned California, where they got on ships, skirting South America.

          If you believe the alternatives that the Horde could not carry out such campaigns, then you have to admit that the Roman conquests are fake. As well as the conquests of Alexander the Great... where did he get food for his horses?
          So there were no conquests of the Huns, Arabs, Ottomans, etc.
          What kind of racism is this and Nazism, all of the above could and only the Horde could. Well stupid what to take from them. Tell the Poles that there was no battle at Liegnitz, and Miller rewrote their entire history.

            Do you really not see the difference between the campaigns of the Tatar-Mongol, the Roman Empire, the campaigns of Alexander the Great and the campaigns of the Huns? These are 4 completely different things. The last 3 met in world history quite often, albeit in less pronounced forms. And only the first is unique to fantastic. No, the invasion from the east to Rus' is obvious, but definitely not in the format in which historians present us. There are two options, either the homeland of the invasion was much closer to Mongolia or China, or the invasion was more extended in time. How it really happened, I don't know. Or I don't remember.)

      The terms "Kievan Rus" and "Tatar-Mongol yoke" are inaccurate and controversial, coined by historians and propagandists. Under the "yoke" falls 2 large periods, there was no single "Kyiv" state, there were complex relationships between the Slavic and Turkic proto-state formations.

      1 period. The conquest of the European part of the territory of modern Russia Mongol Empire . In her army there were Mongols, Chinese, Turks, Slavs, etc. - all whom she had previously conquered. This empire collapsed in 1294 after only 88 years.
      2 period. A new state was formed on its ruins, now called the Golden Horde. It was a vassal union on the territory of the European part and the Trans-Urals of the Russian Federation, parts of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan. Initially, the capital was not far from Astrakhan, then moved to Moscow. There were very difficult relationships in different periods.

          Are Tatars Asians? Where did you fall from? Tatars is a generalized name for many Turkic peoples, they have classic Caucasoid facial features. The Turks for the most part are also Caucasoids. Crimean and Volga Tatars are different peoples from different tribes. Naturally, the Mongol empire from the mother part did not drive the army across the whole of Eurasia, the captured peoples were mainly used, they were obliged to supply troops to the imperial army, then to the Horde. The Mongols and the Chinese were a meager number, mainly detachments, senior officers, officials and engineers.

            It remains to take the last step and admit that no Mongols (in the modern sense of the word) captured Rus', that they were some kind of Caucasoids - perhaps ethnic Turks.
            Then the picture is more or less believable.
            It is possible that these "Tatars" recognized themselves as vassals of some "Mongols", but what kind of Tatars and what kind of Mongols were still to be figured out.

            And what you are describing is reminiscent of a caricature on the topic of detachments in the Second World War: it means that Stalin is standing, he has a revolver in both hands, which rest against the backs of two NKVD officers. Those also have two revolvers and they hold two more each at gunpoint, and so on. Naturally, this is fantasy even for the Second World War, but there is nothing to say about the army of the 12th century. As soon as the majority of non-Mongols became in the army, then the “minor number” of the Mongols themselves would immediately be cut into pieces and dispersed to their native yurts. Especially officials and engineers. Mongolian engineer - sounds like a Mongolian submariner laughing

              The Mongols, taking advantage of the Civil War in China, were able to capture their kingdoms. Received technology and statehood.
              This gave them a critical advantage over their neighbors. Technologically backward and without established statehood.

                Imagine no. Because the French, Spaniards, Portuguese and British relied on a technologically advanced rear (instead of the desert steppes), maritime logistics (instead of improbable races on the mainland) and, most importantly, firearms, which the "Mongols" did not have close.

                Europeans left a lot of traces of their conquests - from the population of mixed blood to buildings and linguistic traces. The Mongols did not leave a fig, except for single monuments with inscriptions, which can be interpreted in any way.

                The existence of colonial empires was ensured by the possibility of a quick transfer of troops from the metropolises, which the Angles demonstrated by pouring blood on the uprising of the sepoys.

                As for the mixed population, it was in India that the situation was special: caste prejudices on the one hand and racism on the part of the conquerors, who at the same time had the opportunity to bring their families to India, which the Mongols did not even have close. In other countries colonized by Europeans, there were many more half-breeds. And yet, the descendants of mixed marriages - the Anglo-Indians - are well known and even mentioned in the constitution of India. "The number of Anglo-Indians in modern India is estimated at a wide range from 300 thousand to 1 million people, and a significant number of them live in Great Britain and a number of other English-speaking countries."

                “The Mongols, taking advantage of the Civil War in China, were able to seize their kingdoms. We got technology and statehood.”
                You know, it's fantasy. The kind of barbarians who could take advantage of civil wars did not receive technology and statehood, but at best plundered or founded petty despotism. There is not a single contrary example in the documented period, only in legendary antiquity. Material evidence, of course, is also zero.

The traveler - missionary with a papal bull offered the khan - the ruler of China to accept the Catholic religion. Traveled in the second half of the 13th century, and there is a message about Genghis Khan, who at the beginning of the 13th century led the nomadic Tatars.
      "They did not have princes, they paid tribute to the great king and called him Unekan, and in French it means priest Ivan; this is the same priest Ivan, about whose great power the whole world speaks. The Tatars paid him tribute, out of ten cattle one cattle" .
      Further, it is told that Genghis Khan asked for the hand of the daughter of priest Ivan, and he refused in an insulting manner. The story ends with a battle between two huge armies, which Pop Ivan lost...

          By the way, "Marco Polo" has an interesting moment. Here, in the official version of the story, the "Mongols" take cities (both ours and those before us) with the help of super-throwing devices, which they drag right from under China. Well, it goes without saying that "Chinese engineers" serve these super-duper metal tanks. Even a detachment of a certain "Kolovrat" allegedly "Mongols" was allegedly shot in a snowy forest clearing from stone throwers.
          But we read Marco Polo.

          That is, Marco Polo claims that the Chinese and Tatars (they are also "Mongols" in the official version of history) had no idea about the existence of throwing devices until the Polo brothers built such a device for them, which both the Chinese and the Mongols were pretty surprised.

    Well, finally, someone decided to speak out against this well-established mega-fake, with which our officials and liberals were happy to justify Russia's technological backwardness. I will also contribute my seven kopecks to the destruction of this myth. Background - in Soviet times, on a voluntary basis, I led a biological circle in one of the schools. He took the matter seriously - we not only hung birdhouses and cleaned streams, but also studied thoughtfully and consistently the general principles of biology. The kids in the circle were smart - two of them are now academicians and I am proud that there is my merit in this. So...
    We discussed somehow biocenoses. Actually, there was nothing particularly difficult with biocenoses, but abrupt changes in the biocenosis can lead to fatal consequences. As a factor of abrupt changes, the anthropogenic factor was considered as the most dangerous and unpredictable. And here, almost by accident, the conversation went to the STEPPE - the most delicate and unstable biocenosis. Imagine that an army is marching across the steppe. Equestrian. It does not go fast, since the most enduring horses can carry no more than 20% of their own weight, and you have to carry a lot, since there are no settlements and warehouses with provisions in the steppe. Horses, like people, want to eat, you won’t take a lot of oats in a wagon train, that is, the basis of the diet of horses and sheep (live canned food) is steppe grass. Feather grass, bluegrass, bent grass, etc. And let's count - there is an army of ten thousand people - this is at least thirty thousand horses - for each one combat, one spare and one pack. The grass mass in the steppe is 400-600 grams (during rains up to two kilograms) per square meter, a horse needs at least twenty kilograms of grass per day. And now estimate on what area should this army disperse so that the horses eat ??? And will such an army be manageable due to its dispersal? The next moment - the period of grass stand in the steppe is short, in order to have food you need to move to the rivers, but the rivers along the route of the horde flow either to the north or to the south, and you need to move to the west, and in some places through the mountains, AND THERE ARE NO ROADS AND FOOD STOPS ALSO . And then winter comes - there are no haystacks and granaries along the way, there are no villages and villages - there is even no one to rob. And that's it, the army died of hunger. First, horses will be eaten, and then ... Well, you understand that no army from the Mongolian steppes could simply reach Europe. Applause, curtain.

      there is another indirect argument in favor of the fact that the Tatar-Mongol yoke is a myth of the Westerners ... in the USA, in all seriousness, they began to assert that it was the Anglo-Saxons who defeated Hitler and that the Russians practically did not take any part in this ... from Stories in the West they defame and cheat as they want in a light favorable to themselves and in the same way cheat with the history of the Tatar-Mongolian yoke, many moments of which are a white spot requiring painstaking study by independent scientists.

      Well I do not know. Once upon a time, the troops did move. Plus, there were not so many Mongols, or non-Mongols. Rus' could not put up a large army, because there was no Rus' as such. There was a territory on which a handful of small city-states were located. When the princes staged a great slaughter, they had, at most, 3-7 thousand spears. And seven is probably even too much. Therefore, they were freed only when Rus' united and was able to put up an adequate army.

        If we take the history of the Patriotic War, then there are a lot of raids by cavalry units in the rear. Belov's cavalry corps went on a raid on the rear in February 42 and went out to his own only in June. Moreover, he went out in a roundabout way, since their horses were Mongolian and accustomed to pasture. Mongolian horses did not eat grain.

        You ask - we answer.
        Previously, troops moved through sparsely populated areas by water transport. Sea or river. Until now, water arteries form the basis of cargo traffic.
        Naturally, in the process of hostilities, the troops could change to horses and move away from the waterway. Yes, we could walk. But the main supply went by water.
        It's like in the Great Patriotic War: they fought, oddly enough, in tanks, and the goods were transported, who would have thought, by trains. And even then, a significant part of the cargo was transported by sea and rivers.

        In general, desert nomads moved and fought without waterways, but this is a special case, and the Arabs who conquered the space from the Maghreb to Pakistan are the same exaggeration as with the Mongols.

        It was possible to move along the roads in a relatively densely populated area, in which there were supplies and a population that prepared these supplies and served the road. But even in this case, the main cargo turnover went by water, and the roads only allowed the troops to cut off the path.

        In the 19th century, vast armies could move even through poorly developed terrain on foot and on horseback, due to the organization of supplies and, in general, due to scientific and technological progress. But the 12th century is not the 19th.

              And for an hour you have not heard of such a name "Cossack camp" - now Kazakhstan. But it became Kazakhstan only on February 5, 1936. And where did the Cossacks come from in the north of Kazakhstan? Cossacks do not appear by "royal decree, by royal desire". They are formed for many generations and only if they are necessary for a large and centralized state. If you think that tsarist Russia "brought" them there, then back in the nineteenth century this territory was marked on maps as Independent Tartary
              Here is a map from 1851. Curiosity.

              According to the logic of things, it turns out that in the north of present-day Kazakhstan, the places of deployment of the "Tatar" cavalry could have been located. And from there - at least to the Bulgars, at least to Ukraine (by the way, until a certain time there was Little Tartaria and ...

          A few numbers. But first, let's deal with the conceptual apparatus.
          Horde, "horde" - discord. Tumeens from several yurts (hordes) participated in the invasion of Rus', although there were mainly representatives of peoples from the territory of the Jochi ulus, the father of Batu. So the old pre-revolutionary definition of the "national composition" of the "horde" of Batu is more true - the Tatar-Mongols, and not vice versa.
          The Horde in a broad sense is a proto-state formation, which did not exist a priori during the invasion of Rus'.
          Now for people and horses. Weighted estimates speak of 30 warriors and 000 horses. Which (according to our chroniclers) was "exiled". That is, a strip in width from one hundred to one hundred and fifty kilometers. Taking into account the realities of forest antiquity, detachments from 60 to 000 thousand moved along the rivers. In larger ones, they gathered only at large settlements.
          Now about hay and villages.
          Peasant horses eat hay every day, and we have winter for 6 months a year. So each village horse, depending on the time of the Tatar misfortune, could provide from 90 to 120 horses of the adversary with a daily ration. If you take into account cattle, then you need to count two normo cows per one normo horse. Similarly with small horns, although the diet is somewhere around 5 to 1 in the case of goats and 10 to 1 for sheep.
          So the village is 15 households, and this is up to three dozen horses and foals, 50-60 cows and young animals, excluding the breeding bull - Borka, plus up to two hundred other little things.
          In her lungs, she could feed, if not a "horde" or a tumen, then 7200 nuker horses a day.

            It is strange, if it was not there, then how was the invasion organized?

            Which, of course, no one noticed and did not try to prevent her. However, given the realities of the armed conflicts last year, one can even believe in it, we have such traditions ...

            >> Taking into account the realities of forest antiquity, detachments from 2 to 3 thousand moved along the rivers.

            Well, tell me, are there many rivers along the route of the alleged Mongol army. In a strip 150 km wide. If we take a column of 3000 heads of cattle, and a total army of 60000 thousand, then 20 rivers are needed. And not 20 times along the same river, because after passing the 1st detachment there will be nothing to eat there.

            >> In larger gathering only in large settlements.

            As they gathered, according to maps, according to smoke signals, according to GPS ...

            >> So a village of 15 yards

            Where do the numbers come from ... As far as I know, in the era of slash-and-burn agriculture, “villages” were mainly farms with 1-2 yards. Do you happen to operate with the realities of the XNUMXth century that way?

            >> In the lung could feed, if not the "horde" or tumen, then 7200 nuker horses a day.

            Provided that:
            villages are located along the rivers at a distance of daytime marches (why? so that the conquerors would be more comfortable?);
            that the villagers do not defend themselves in any way and do not try to escape by setting fire to supplies, which will deprive the nukers of a daily ration, or at least nuker horses;
            that along the rivers, my mother is a woman, it is generally possible to drive, i.e. roads were cut there and bridges or at least fords were laid, that there are no deep tributaries and ravines (and if we assume that the offensive was carried out only in winter on the ice, then a paradoxical conclusion turns out that the "Mongols" would have risen in the summer - as opposed to the Germans and French )
            - in principle, your scheme is quite realistic. Two full-fledged Mongol detachments could pass along the river in one direction, ruining and destroying everything in their path. They would not have been able to return along this road, they would not have been able to receive reinforcements, any delay on the way would have forced them to eat their horses and each other. And to storm large settlements, they would obviously have to turn to the Airborne Forces for help, because the detachment, suddenly resting against some fortified town at the confluence of the rivers, needs to set up camp (the defenders do not counterattack, they have paws), send out messengers to other units (and somehow find them) and wait for these units (eating some supplies that are not there), which will be forced to move along the already devastated route to this town. The townspeople, of course, do not receive any reinforcements, they have paws. After that, a horde of units immediately takes the city by storm (as in Warcraft, hitting buildings with axes, from which they lose hit points and light up) in a couple of days and move on.

            I repeat the conclusion from the previous comment:
            “Two full-fledged Mongol detachments could pass along the river in one direction ... They would not be able to return along this road, they would not be able to receive reinforcements, any delay along the way would force them to eat their horses and each other. And to storm large settlements, they would obviously have to turn to the Airborne Forces for help.

      And now I will prove to you just as "scientifically" that there are no Chukchi or Evenks. Summer in the tundra, when at least some kind of vegetation appears, 2-3 months. They couldn't grow anything. Reindeer also cannot live in such conditions, where will they get food when the tundra is covered with snow for 9 months a year? And you can’t prepare hay for them, not from anything. What were the Chukchi supposed to eat? Only on cranberries and cloudberries you will not last long. If there are no deer, then there is no meat. And there are no skins, what to wear and how to hide from the cold? Hence it is obvious that the Chukchi is a myth created by the writers of jokes.

But I will not argue with you, well, I have never been a reindeer herder.) But last winter, being on the territory of the former military training ground in the city of Emba, r. Kazakhstan, when I saw herds of horses grazing in the steppe, I asked local shepherds about this issue, since some of them worked as drivers for us. The answer was something like this: "If you want a horse to go somewhere in the winter, then feed it. It will not go anywhere on pasture."

I’ll say right away: the first one was better with fuel, he drove the dogs half to death, and then with his comrades he killed some of them and ate. They were heated with kerosene, Scott, as they suggest, the cans were soldered with tin, which collapsed in the cold and ran out of kerosene.

        My friend U. Cherny, firstly, if you ever visited the tundra, you would know that the snow FULLY melts in the tundra in May, and falls in the second half of September, so it’s still five months, and re 2 -3. Secondly, deer are dispersed in relatively small herds over vast areas and move to where there is food, and not where it is necessary to fight. Thirdly, a deer is four times smaller than a horse and is not ridden. And fourthly, the Chukchi and Evenks, in addition to venison, eat fish, walruses, whales, as well as imported canned food and other oranges. So your speech, despite its expressiveness and sarcasm, flies three meters past the cash register.

          Generally speaking, the main trade of the Chukchi was raids on the Koryak camps. These were such polar Zulus. And the war of the Russians with the Chukchi, who, the Russians defended under the yasak Koryaks, lasted 200 years. The longest, not counting the Abkhazians. This, by the way, to the question of the impossibility of a successful war of "savages" nomads, and their underdevelopment. Russians were with firearms.

            But it was a guerrilla war. The locals acted in their native element, they had a local advantage in numbers (due to the fact that the Russians, unlike the fabulous Mongols, could not drive a ten thousandth army into the tunda), the native partisans could purposefully cut off the supply (which the Mongol type did not need , and all other conquerors need).

            At the same time, even gaining military victories, even major ones, the natives could not hold back the expansionist onslaught of more economically developed peoples. "Women are still giving birth", industry will give even more perfect guns - and the conquest will begin anew. Neither the Chukchi, nor the Indians, nor the Maori, nor the Zulus could attack the base cities of the developed neighbors.
            Therefore, the limit of the native's ability is to knock out the normal conditions of coexistence from the colonialists.

            At the same time, _nomads_ could indeed conduct offensive operations if they received supplies from somewhere else through trade.

The fact is that the information should first be carefully studied. Then the wrong premises will not arise about "the Mongols who came from nowhere, who rode 10 thousand kilometers and burned Ryazan" And the refutation of this self-made nonsense will not lead to the "conclusion" that, de, there was no Batu.

        Not only that, not only are the Chukchi dubious, but the existence of horses, too. Judge for yourself. All large herbivores are artiodactyls, and the only artiodactyl that is reliably known to science is the zebra, which is rumored to live in Africa, an animal that is vicious and thermophilic, not amenable to training. And, since, as you can see, it is far from Africa outside our window, then there is nowhere for the so-called horse to feed, and also to warm up. Most likely, the so-called horses are various animals dressed up by the British and the Pope, from elk to dogs, depending on the size of the so-called. "horses". And since there are no horses, then Khan Genghis was not there either.

      Another moment. Let's calculate the length of the marching order of these notorious "Mongol-Tatars", who move in the number of either 300 thousand people, or 400 thousand people, and each has 3 horses - the one on which he rides, the one that carries the luggage and that , which for battle, went in the WINTER along the forest road to Vladimir. Our forest road even now is a maximum of 2 riders nearby can pass. And that's not everywhere. And the Mongols have a million horses. 2 horses in a row means 500 thousand rows of horses on a forest road. The length of the body of a Mongolian horse is one and a half meters, with a neck and head - at least 2 meters, the distance between them - well, let it be at least 1 meter. In total, we have a column of "Mongolian cavalry" with a length of 1 kilometers !!!

      More. From the notes of Przhevalsky. This is about camels, but the same can be attributed to horses.
      The steppe or desert, with its boundless expanse, constitutes the native habitat of the camel; here he feels quite happy, like his master, the Mongol. Both of them flee from settled life, as from the greatest enemy, and the camel loves wide freedom so much that, put in a corral at least for the best food, he quickly loses weight and finally dies.
      In general, a camel is a very peculiar animal. With regard to promiscuous food and moderation, he can serve as a model, but this is true only for the desert. Bring a camel to good pastures, such as we are accustomed to seeing in our countries, and instead of eating and getting fat, he will become thinner every day. We experienced this when we came with our camels to the excellent alpine meadows of the Gan-su mountains. Camels spoiled when they were deprived of the food they had in the desert. Here, the favorite foods of the described animal are: onion and budargana, followed by dyrisun, low wormwood or saxaul in Alashan and kharmyk, especially when its sweet-salty berries ripen.
      In general, salt is absolutely necessary for camels, and they eat with great pleasure a white salt coating, or the so-called gujir, which abundantly covers all salt marshes and often protrudes from the soil, even on the grassy steppes of Mongolia. In the absence of gujir, camels eat, although with less benefit to themselves, pure salt, which they must be given two or three times a month. If the described animals have not had salt for a long time, then they begin to lose weight, even if the food was in abundance. Then camels often take white stones in their mouths and chew them, mistaking them for lumps of salt. The latter, especially if the camels have not eaten it for a long time, acts on them as a laxative. The absence of gudjir and solonetsous plants can probably explain the fact that camels cannot live on good pastures in mountainous countries. Besides, for them there is no wide expanse of desert, in which our animal roams in freedom all summer long.

      Both Mongolian camels and Mongolian horses are typical endemics. Which, outside of their habitual habitat for thousands of years, survive very poorly. If they survive at all.

          If we take the message of the Hungarian monk Julian to the papal legate about the Mongol-Tatars. Most often they mention the option that ends with the words: “I don’t write anything about the number of their entire troops.”
          However, there are several lists of this message, and here, for example, list F, a postscript was added in a different handwriting: "The Mongol army consists of 240 thousand slaves not of their law and 135 thousand of the best warriors of their law in the ranks."

          The problem is that the Mongols did not have a Prozhivalsky horse, there were no English horses. There was no horse at all capable of carrying a person. In America, horses were generally seen after the Columbus swim. You probably saw enough films and paintings written after 500 years. There is another problem of the road, they are not there either. There were no autobahns, and there were no railways either. Roads were exclusively river and sea. Historians have long passed into the category of dreamers.

The Mongolian horse can gallop with a rider in the saddle 10 km across the steppe. This is a very hardy horse. Going at 60 - 100 km/day is not a problem at all. The Mongols walked through the subordinate Samarkand, Bukhara and Derbent, and only on good grass right across the steppe.

In addition, the Mongol had excellent command and control, and intelligence. they moved separately, using guides, and leaving for a rendezvous at a designated place and time. And there were no more than 20 thousand of them, which is a lot for the Middle Ages. And very little for today. Two cavalry divisions of the USSR in terms of the number of just something.

And between the modern Mongols and the 13th century? Asian horses are quite suitable - I rode Kyrgyz and Tuvan horses on the border with Mongolia, by the way. You can post folk games in Mongolia on the Internet. To see the horses in the photo.
            Previously, the horses of the Mongols were not able, not only to bear the burden of war, but also the rider himself)
            STE, excuse me, a fierce blizzard. Where do you take it from? About foot Mongolian nomads.

              These are modern horses, games can be watched in Kazakhstan. The Mongols do not have European horses, like the inhabitants of America before Columbus, even the wheel was not known in America. And you are building great battles, the film Avatar is even more honest, fantasy is signed there. Where did you get the information from, from the movie? ;^) And the Mongols with the Tatars are not biblical Farsees. If you are interested, read about the natives in the books of the 19th century by Russian authors, this is not the 13th wild age for you) You can, of course, build theories that there was a civilization before and it died as a result of a natural disaster, even amazing artifacts are found, but such a civilization does not fit the life of ordinary nomads who have no idea not only about technology and the significance of gold, but also about administrative resources. All your arguments are just the opinion of the authors of the 19th century, there are no authentic artifacts for the 13th century, including written ones. The paintings were allegedly copied from the originals of writing, published no earlier than the 18th century. The question is simple, where are the originals from which the authors of the 19th century rewrote, because they all write as one that they had the originals of ancient texts?

                Mongolian horse breeds have not changed much for a thousand years. This is confirmed by genetic analysis. In addition, nothing prevented the use of captured horses. Before Columbus, Mesoamerica had the beginning of the Bronze Age. What does the Iron Age in Eurasia have to do with it. The wheel and in Eurasia appeared and developed in the bronze age with a knitted process
                domestication and selection of draft animals. In America, animals that can be harnessed have not yet been bred. By the way, they knew the wheel and used it in children's toys.

                And, so, with horses, sources until the 19th century, they sort of figured it out. Let's add archaeological data here. The bottom line is your axiom that, de, the nomads are backward, and therefore there could be no conquests of the Mongols. This postulate does not stand up to scrutiny. Hunu, Arabs, ancient Turks, and even earlier in bronze, Achaeans, and then Dorians, for example.

                  Arabs are not nomads ... More precisely, not all Arabs are nomads, but only Bedouins. Achaeans and Dorians are not nomads. The territory of their conquests is quite realistic, except for the Arabs, who most likely also threw mythologies into the asset.

                  That's the THING, that the Kalmyks slowly wandered with women, belongings and sheep, conducting economic activities along the way and not storming the city in the process. And the "Mongols" ran the same way with one army without belongings, it is not clear where they were getting supplies from.
                  Well, my, with the same success it can be said that the Germans near Moscow in the winter should not have had any problems with supplies, because the Chukchi in the tundra did not have them.

In real history, Batu did not jump through any steppe "out of nowhere". The movement of the Mongols to the west is a thirty-year history of the successive capture and subjugation of the Naimans, Kereites, the Karakhanid state, the state of Khorezmshahs, access to Derbent and the Transcaucasus, in pursuit of the Polovtsy, the invasion of the Crimea, the defeat of the Polovtsy, the exit of Subedei and Jebe to Kalka and the defeat of the united Russian troops at 22.

                      It's fine. What are the supply lines between Mongolia and the Caucasus? There were no supply lines there, at best low-capacity caravan trade routes.

                      >> He went through Derbent

                      Derbent is the coast of the Caspian Sea. When the steppes managed to retrain as seafarers, where did they get the boats from, how did they land ...

                        Mycenae, damn it, in Greece, and I'm talking about the conquest of Greece by the Achaeans, to all Mycenae, Greece itself. They, the Achaeans, are not the original people of the Balkans, but the conquerors, about where the cuming of de griik, so to speak. In short, I'm tired, with Derbent and the sea

                        Well, yes, well, yes, a great example ...
                        “This campaign turned into a national tragedy for the Kalmyks. On the way, the Kalmyk ethnic group, small in number, lost more than 100 people killed in battles, from wounds, cold, hunger, diseases, as well as captured, lost almost all livestock and property - the main wealth. ..In total, no more than 000-70 thousand Kalmyks reached the Qing border ... But there is also a sharply different point of view about the number of Kalmyks who survived, for example, modern Kazakh sources estimate the number of those who reached 75-15 thousand ... they did the journey from the Volga to China in seven seconds half months Kalmyks were met by Qing troops and officials"

                        But the Kalmyks would teach history - not only would they come in full strength, but they would immediately take the Qin officials by the ears and ask them to show them the way to the Forbidden City itself! bully
                        But, alas, we live in the real world, not a fairy tale. And this campaign is an excellent example of the fact that if the "Mongols" took the same path in the opposite direction, then some of them could crawl to the territory of Rus', where they would immediately be taken warm. Well, maybe it would be generous to settle somewhere, we are no worse than the Chinese.

                        >> Mycenae, damn it, in Greece, and I'm talking about the conquest of Greece by the Achaeans, to all Mycenae, Greece itself.

                        Oh, you're talking about it. The Achaeans could not have conquered Greece if they were nomads, because without boats they would not have been able to get to the Greek islands, and boats need developed crafts, and for this, if not urban, then at least a developed settled society is needed. And historians themselves do not know the details, because it was at the turn of the XNUMXrd and XNUMXnd millennia BC. e. Try to find better documented examples.
                        However, in principle, nomads could have been included in the Achaean conquerors - just as there are nomads in the Chukchi detachments, whom settled Chukchi fishermen take as a share when they go on campaigns. Moreover, kayaks are made by fishermen, not nomads. This has never happened before, and here it is again.

                        >> Sources for the Mongol conquests, I have already listed.

                        Did you read these sources yourself or just looked at the list somewhere? So I quoted you the Novgorod Chronicle, where Mongolia can only be pulled by the ears, and the rest of the sources are the same.

Regarding Derbent, I said, buy a map, and then you may discover how you can get there from Iran (the state of Khorezmshahs in the 13th century) without using oars and boats. Also, you using physical. map, you may be able to understand why the wall in Derbent is not along the coastline, as it should have been built from the Marines, but across. And why Derbent is called "Iron Gates" in chronicles.
                        From the first chronicle it follows that the chroniclers did not know where the Mongols came from, and who they are, what they are called. But this is not the problem of the Mongols.

                        The Mycenaean civilization certainly also occupied the islands, so it is impossible to get there without boats.
                        There is, of course, the option that the nomads first occupied in the 2nd millennium BC. peninsulas, mastered them and then independently sailed to the islands (although this is unlikely). Naturally, this has nothing to do with the Mongols, because by the time the Achaeans settled the peninsular part of Greece, there were no developed states there. With the same success, one can cite a chronicle of the wars of the North American Indians.

                        Naturally, this is just a legend that proves the existence of Mongolian submarines ... Sorry, ships, just like the legend of centauromachia proves the existence of centaurs.

                        >> Regarding Derbent, I said, buy a map, and then you may discover how you can get there from Iran

                        You can get in. Only this has nothing to do with the "supply lines of the conquered states", because no one in their right mind would wander around the sea if the supply lines went along it.
                        You can leave the partisan area, blow up the railway with the German echelon and return back with scaffolding. And then to be surprised: why the hell did the Germans need it at all, but here we were a hundred people walking through the forest without any echelons, why a million Germans can’t do the same.
                        But it can't. And all the stories about how the armadas of the steppes rounded the sea, ran along the mountain paths, took the fortified city, sandwiched between the mountains and the sea, and then in the amount of one hundred thousand people mingled with Timur - this is an unconfirmed urban mythology, which is also nothing is confirmed. The myth of the conquest of Dagestan is confirmed by the myth of the conquest of Rus', that myth of the conquest of China, and so on - and there is zero material evidence.
                        And all the allegations that the Mongols used the means of communication of the conquered countries are broken by the simple consideration that in the case of Dagestan, such means of communication were the sea, and the Mongols allegedly did not come from the sea.

                        >> why the wall in Derbent is not built along the coastline, as it should be, from the Marines, but across.

                        And that is why the "marines" in theory could take the city, but the newcomers from the steppe could not.

                        In general, everything is like this with the officials: the Mongols, of course, could pass. The Kalmyks, on the other hand, passed (having lost from 50 to 80% of their numbers), which means that the victorious Mongol army could pass; the caravans passed, which means that the victorious army, several thousand times larger than the caravan, will also crawl through ...

                        In general, everything is like this with the officials: the Mongols, of course, could pass. The Kalmyks, on the other hand, passed (having lost from 50 to 80% of their numbers), which means that the victorious Mongol army could pass; the caravans passed, which means that the victorious army, numbering several thousand times more than the caravan, also climbed through
                        That is, now, in your opinion, it turns out that two three tumens could not only "jump across the steppe from the onon to the Volga", but also drive along the road from Khorezm to Derbent? if he could not transfer his troops further than the nearest villages. laughing
                        What's next?
                        now understand who the wall in Derbent is from, and why is it across? From whom did the "rich agricultural" defend themselves there in the 12th and 13th centuries? Using "paths" to supply their troops? laughing

                        For example, from Eastern Europe))

                        >> >> Try to understand the difference between the caravan route, the postal road and the supply line of the army

                        >> what is it, this difference, formulate.

                        *Deep breath*, okay, of course, I see that the officials are like little children, but I'll try to play Captain Obvious. Let's try it step by step so you can get it right.

                        There is such a thing as throughput. An example from physics: the throughput of pipes, for example. The straw for a cocktail has one, the water pipes have another. Is it possible to supply, for example, a Moscow microdistrict (fully populated with people, and not Mongolian camels, which receive water only from this source, and do not run to the Moscow River with a yoke) through a pipe with a diameter of a cocktail tube? Obviously it is impossible, despite the fact that on a summer day you can slowly suck out half a liter of juice through this tube. Why not, you can calculate mathematically by multiplying the diameter of the tube by the speed of water passage per day and comparing it with the need for water of the inhabitants, which we get by multiplying the daily need of the inhabitants for water by the number of inhabitants themselves.

                        Is everything clear at this stage? Objections, questions?

                        >> That is, now, in your opinion, it turns out that two or three tumens could not only "jump through the steppe from onon to the Volga",

                        Like the Kalmyks: they could reach, but they could not conquer anyone.

                        >> but also to drive along the road from Khorezm to Derbent?

                        Having broken up into caravan groups, trading along the way, provided that the local authorities will graciously let them pass and not rip off too much baksheesh and duties. In principle, it will not work to conquer anyone, and it will be good if the authorities allow weapons to be carried - this is the only way merchants from all over the world could travel. In order to drive 100 people to Derbent in this manner, they would, however, have to sell all their cattle, because they have nothing else to trade, and at the same time sell themselves into slavery.

                        >> And how, then the poor Khorezmshah lived before the Mongols, if he could not transfer his troops further than the nearest villages.

                        I do not even know. Probably, how did they live in Europe - with feudal fragmentation, vassalage, building relationships on the principles of vassalage, properly contracted marriages and religious propaganda, with large armies of 5 thousand people? However, this is the mysterious east, there are centralized despotisms all around, which, however, evaporate somewhere by the 20th century, and the people again return to tribal remnants.

                        >> It turns out, and the Macedonian crap, and solid lies?

                        In medieval literature, the builder of the Derbent Gate was called Alexander the Great, and they themselves were called Alexandrov. Modern historians deny this. Is it a complete lie? And if there is a lie, then why is another infa about him not a lie?
                        For the most part yes, lies. Well, or politically correct speaking, a beautiful legend. Macedonia is a complete analogue of Mongolia, a small poor country that allegedly suddenly conquered half the world, leaving no material monuments of its power, and just as quickly pissed away everything.
                        However, the Indian campaign of Alexander, most likely, could well have been, if we consider that his base was not Macedonia, but, for example, the Eastern Roman Empire, and the troops were supplied either by sea or along the Euphrates.

                        >> now understand from whom the wall in Derbent, and why is it across?

                        From neighboring peoples, including nomads. The key word is "neighbours".

                        >> From whom " rich zemledelcheskie" Defended there in the 12th-13th century?
                        Using "paths" to supply their troops?

                        What does the path have to do with it, if someone attacked this city, it would come from Ciscaucasia along the sea coast, there are no paths.

                        You see, you lack specifics. Now, if, for example, you would say that, they say, the road from Khorezm to Derbent had such and such characteristics that did not allow the transfer of troops along it, or their supply, and would lead, for example, another road of the same period, somewhere, in another place, along which it would be possible to supply, again, with its physical parameters, and confirmed facts of transfer, with sources, or maybe with personal measurements on the ground.

Then, in the 4th century BC, you may have the Eastern Roman Empire, but there cannot be a suitable road from Derbent to Samarkand in our 13th century. Are you, for an hour, not a Hyperborean, Great Tatar, or other Fomenkovite? Tell me right away, then, I instantly agree with all your arguments. laughing
                        I do not even know.
                        here, this is the right thought. We must study, my friend, learning the light.

                        Well, in, the Scythians would come, for example, from the north, to Derbent, and then only goat paths, but wastelands, as they are to developed Persia
                        get there? Everything would have died along the way, first they would have eaten the horses, and then a friend to a friend. And what for then, tell me, fence the wall? By the way, you don’t recognize the Ptolemid dynasty either? Cleopatra, there, and so on?...

                        Oh, that's it, you have not yet given any specifics regarding the evidence of the existence of the Mongol Empire and other historical phantoms, only references to various legends and muddy analogies.

                        Well, okay, have your way. How many people do you think went from Khorezm to Derbent? A hundred thousand, a million...

                        >> the road from Khorezm to Derbent had such and such characteristics that did not allow the transfer of troops along it, or their supply

                        I specifically said that the road from Khorezm to Derbent, in your opinion, was overland, which, in the absence of at least a steam engine, completely excludes the possibility of moving large armies of conquerors.

                        >> and would bring, as an example, another road of the same period, somewhere, in another place, along which it would be possible to supply, again, with its physical parameters, and confirmed facts of the transfer

                        Another road in this region is called the "Caspian Sea" and if you want facts of the transfer, I can recommend the history of the Roman Empire, they had a road called "Mediterranean Sea" with similar characteristics laughing

                        >> great, but what kind of ocean does the Euphrates flow into?

                        In Indian. But the Euphrates can be reached by land from the Mediterranean Sea.
                        I know what you will say: if a few hundred people can walk or on horseback 200 kilometers, then a few hundred thousand will be able to walk ten times as much; and if Vasya was able to walk two steps to the toilet, then the Russian army will be able to cross the Gobi desert on foot, and if the conductor Vesna Vulovich survived the plane crash, then you can jump without parachutes, and therefore parachutes should be taken away from the Airborne Forces winked

                        >> He told you, buy a map of the world, or do you think Alexander had the Suez Canal?

                        The Suez Canal does not lead to the Euphrates laughing

                        >> Then, in the 4th century BC you may have the Eastern Roman Empire, but there can be no suitable road from Derbent to Samarkand in the 13th century of our era.

                        Elderberry in the garden, and uncle in Kyiv. How is one related to the other? Why can there be an Eastern Roman Empire in the official history of the 4th century BC, but there were no good roads in Australia in the 15th century? I don't know, it's a mystery. Probably because states develop unevenly.
                        I’ll ask an even more insidious question: why are there four-lane roads in Moscow, and bad roads in Chukotka request

                        >> Well, in, the Scythians would come, for example, from the north, to Derbent, and then only goat paths, but wastelands, as they are to developed Persia

                        Exactly good
                        Obviously, these fortifications took their modern form much later, when the city was no longer threatened by the Scythians.

                        The Suez Canal does not lead to the Euphrates
                        You see, even if there was a Suez Canal near the Macedonian, it would only lead to the Red Sea, and there you still have to go around the Arabian Peninsula, and India is not on the Euphrates, but on the Ganges, there is still sawing and sawing along the Indian Ocean. I told you that the study of a physical map is a good thing. You've already made progress. And buy another map, this one is not suitable if it is 200 km from the Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea

                        (I can’t help but note that the officials in your person are once again trying to prove the reality of their fantasies with incorrect analogies with the end of the 18th century, i.e. with the gunpowder era; it’s strange what claims can be made to the ancient Ukrainians who dig the Black Sea with their hands - after all did they make an artificial lake Chagan in Kazakhstan, and why couldn’t the ancient Ukrainians do the same?)

I suggested that Suvorov was supposed to drag locomotives with him. But if you meant a steamship, then how did you drag steamships, or pure steam engines? Is it a powder era, in the sense that Suvorov crossed the Alps on powder propellers? On firecrackers, or something, or on nuclei? Munchausen, by the way, was for some time in the Russian service. So that he could transfer nuclear technology to Suvorov. You did not answer at what point on the Euphrates to the Mediterranean Sea 200 km.

                        Oh wow, have it your way. Watch your hands.

                        We take 30000 men and 30000 horses. Horses need 12 kg of oats per day. A person needs 2 kg of dry food per day. (12+2)*30000 = 420000 kg = 420 tons. The carrying capacity of the cart (modern, with steel wheels and tires) is up to 2 tons. In total, it turns out that the entire army needs 210 carts per day.
                        We take the road around the Caspian Sea at 1500 km.
                        Suppose the army retreated an average of 520 km. We take the speed of the march at 40 km per day. We get 520/40 = 13 days. This means that you need to take 5460 tons of food from somewhere, and make 2730 flights.
                        But that's not all, because the carts do not travel by teleport, but along the same road from Khorezm. With the same speed of 40 km per day. 520 km is 13 day trips. This means that when the army is 520 km from Khorezm, it must simultaneously be followed by a column of 13 * 210 = 2730 carts.
                        But that's not all, because. the rear carts themselves also require food fuel, but I'm too lazy to count.
                        Three thousand carts - this, of course, looks a little compared to the 30000th army, but they must be dragged either from Mongolia itself, or requisitioned in Khorezm, for which about three hundred thousand people should live in the city (as in ancient Rome in the best years), and intracity logistics - like in London in 1890, and in the city after that there will be a transport collapse and total mortality.

                        We took ideal conditions, a straight two-lane road, at least a rammed one, the complete absence of any traffic jams, the maximum possible speed on the march, the absence of cart breakdowns, the absence of reserve horses (although the knights later took two or three on the snout), in Khorezm all the people turned in obedient zombies, and the rear service works like clockwork.

                        And yet, under such conditions, is it possible to pass a 30-strong horde from Khorezm to Derbent? Answer: YES, IT IS POSSIBLE, if the enemy does not know how and does not want to fight and with masochistic pleasure allows himself to be cut out, burned and taken into slavery. Otherwise, any Asian commander sooner or later (like the Indian Eagle Eye) would have noticed a HUGE, mazafaka, column of unguarded carts, which could be cut like two fingers on the asphalt by a detachment of a couple of hundred people, after which the “Mongols” would only have to suck paw or something else.

                        Anticipating your tricky questions:

                        1) And how do they manage without a convoy in Mongolia, why can’t you pinch the grass? Answer: because in Mongolia the population density is 2 people per sq. km, and since the Mongols themselves cannot pluck grass, they have not only horses, but also other livestock.
                        2) But still, why can’t you pinch the grass if the Mongolian horses find it even under the snow? Answer: well, if they find it under the snow, then they will probably find it in the Karakum desert under the sand, or they just pinch the thorns, but the camels eat the thorns, which means that 30 horses will be able to.
                        3) And how Moses led the Jews for forty years in the desert, is this really a legend? Answer: imagine.
                        4) And how is Suvorov? The answer is in the next comment.
                        5) And how Mao led the Chinese, and how Smith led the Mormons, and how, but how - with the same results as Suvorov. None of them took the city by storm.

                        >> The powder era is, in the sense that Suvorov crossed the Alps on powder propellers?

                        What humor is funny, you would have to perform in the Full House. Are the arguments over? ))

                        Your assumptions are wrong, you came up with the idea that grub and fodder had to be dragged from Khorezm to Derbent. On the basis of such an assumption, for example, such that the nearest source of water for the Khabarovsk water supply is the Vistula, I will prove that there cannot be tap water in Khabarovsk. Or, that the life expectancy of an urban person cannot be 70 years, on the basis that the volume of an average apartment will not allow to accommodate so much food.

                        Here! Here we come to the ability of officials to understand the meaning of texts (and, therefore, to understand what is written not only in ancient chronicles, but even in textbooks on physics and geography). Of course, you can’t store food in an apartment for 70 years, so you need to periodically go to the store for food, where it gets thanks to mass road transport, which delivers food from freight train stations and ports to retail outlets. And if you had re-read my works more carefully, in the sense of comments, you would have understood that I was talking about the regular delivery of food along the road, and not dragging a convoy with supplies all the way without taking into account their replenishment. But you did not understand this, because, apparently, you are used to the fact that food in your refrigerator appears by itself, the light appears by itself in the outlet, and the water in the water supply smile

                        And of course, another argument in the spirit of "if Vasya could take two steps without food and rest, then he could walk two thousand kilometers through the desert, and if food does not fit in the apartment, then it is not needed - you can eat solar energy, mana and prana" laughing

                        the army of Khorezmshah, your ruler, was defeated, the ruler himself fled from the battlefield, and in order not to be "cut, burned and taken away", you must open the gates and submit to the winners. Which, the winners, in case of resistance, they cut everyone without exception, which is known from rumors from refugees. If you think a little with your brains, then it’s clear where Sabaday got poison, drink, and food. And Batu goes 5 years after Jabe and Sabaday, already through its territory, in its own way, understand, straight to Derbent. This is the official version, with which you, here, supposedly, volunteered to fight. And you, instead, famously refute your own, your own fabrications. Yes, by the way, how to go from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates, so that the road is 200 km, you still did not answer laughing debt to you.

                        >> the army of Khorezmshah, your ruler, is defeated,

                        *boring voice*
                        Where is the evidence of this military feat, except in the writings of regular armchair humanitarians? How they defeated them, how they got to Khorezm from Mongolia, what they ate on the way, how they broke into Khorezm itself, HOW COULD YOU NOT SUFFER LOSSES? After all, fortresses were built specifically for this purpose in order to defend themselves from conquerors, and historians even confirm that they were not made of straw, like the three pigs. And I know what you will write - “but how Moses conquered the promised land with God's help, is it really a legend, can it really be written in books FALSE? And how did the Jews take Jericho by storm, destroying the walls with the sound of trumpets? The Mongols, however, were not Jews, although in the Middle Ages they were considered Christians and collaborated with the Russian Orthodox Church - but you can get out of the situation by declaring that the unclean person himself (aka Azzi Sotona) is helping them. It is impossible to explain what is happening without Sothona am

                        >> the ruler fled the battlefield

                        Without trying to continue organizing resistance. Some kind of eunuch, and not a ruler, in Rus' the supporters of the False Dmitryev were even more brazen, although they were caught and impaled on stakes.

                        >> so that you are not "cut, burned and taken away" you need to open the gates and submit to the winners

                        Don't fight to the last. However, it really is safer for life to give away food and be guaranteed to die of hunger than to fight. And why do people fight? request

                        >> Which, the winners, in case of resistance, they cut everyone without exception

                        After all, the winners themselves win without any losses at all - they also have Jericho trumpets and three Daenerys dragons with them laughing

                        >> what is rumored from refugees

                        Which, of course, did not crave revenge and could not report anything specific about the Mongol tactics, or at least about the very fact of the invasion (in order to have time to prepare for the siege), or about how the Mongols observe the treaty - but they were able to intimidate compatriots specifically. And the commanders of compatriots for some reason did not guess the refugees for alarmism and defeatism to hang up on the nearest tree. However, it is only among the Mongols that the whole ten are executed for the fault of one, and their opponents have no idea of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbdiscipline at all.

                        >> If, a little poraskinut brains, then it is clear where Sabedei got poison, drink, and food.

                        He intimidated everyone with bloody massacres. It is strange that this did not help Hitler in a similar situation, and despite the Gestapo, mass burning of villages and mass executions, he still had partisans in the rear, and Soviet cities did not give up without a fight. And I had to fight. However, who is old Brown compared to Subaday? Looooooh! laughing

                        You know, if you say that the Mongolian supermen were all psionic, and therefore subjected the enemies to mass hypnosis, then I will immediately accept all your arguments. True, for some reason historians write not about mass hypnosis, but about battles and assaults.

                        >> And Batu goes 5 years after Jabe and Sabaday, already on its own territory, on its own, understand, straight to Derbent.

                        Yes, in 5 years the territory sharply becomes its own. There are cities all around (which, however, the predecessors managed to either burn to the ground, or starve to death), all around their native Mongolian population ... Oops, the Mongols did not inhabit the occupied territories ... Well, nothing, the local population learned to speak Mongolian in 5 years, adopted the Mongol faith, recognized Batu as the king-father given by the Lord himself, against whom it is a sin to speak a word, and gave birth to a bunch of children from the Mongols ... Oops, the Mongols did not assimilate anyone ... Okay, there are Mongol garrisons all around (oops ...) ... Okay, in short, the local population broken, demoralized, does not want to fight, does not want to take revenge, did not draw any conclusions from the invasion (except for the fact that, according to the shout “Open the gate, rezat budEm”, you must open the gate and turn your neck, otherwise it will be worse) - but at the same time everything five years regularly continues to sow grain and pay taxes, instead of taking off and running wherever your eyes look.

                        >> This is the official version

                        So what? 15 years ago, the official version of the course of the Great Patriotic War was that the Germans were thrown with corpses in a ratio of 10 to one with one rifle for two. But not now.

                        Am I to you? No need to blame a sick head on a healthy one. I asked you to show the STO-LI-TSU, and you deftly switched the arrows to phallometry, who had the largest palace ... Do you understand what a “capital” is, why it is needed and how it differs from the ruler’s residence? Well, there, the administration, the treasury, the strategic position? So I ask: where is the Mongolian "capital of the world", and you show me a city smaller than Moscow. What's with the palace?

                        Moreover, a motherfucker, a summer palace. It turns out that every winter in the greatest empire of mankind, administrative paralysis began.
                        However, even in the summer it was impossible to manage anything from there, because (quoting Vicki) "the city had a number of shortcomings: the lack of well-established routes and waterways, complete dependence on supplies from China." It suddenly turns out that there is not enough pasture for urban life, although before that they captured almost all of Eurasia and did not notice. Just like Tom and Jerry: they run to the middle of the abyss and only then realize that it's time to fall laughing

                        However, a city smaller than Moscow is also cool ... But judging by the description, it, like Karakorum, consisted mainly of empty space surrounded by a wall on which yurts stood. Camping. Cool cool…
                        What kind of palace was there is now unknown, because only ruins have survived to this day (allegedly from the 13th century, but it is not known how dated). It also makes no sense to ask about untold riches, stolen works of art or the fruits of the labors of captured masters - either the Mongols were not interested in such soulless khegna, or the archaeologists carried everything past the cash register. There are no investments in fixed capital either, because, as we have already found out, this town was sucked in from China and therefore had neither economic, nor transport, nor strategic importance. In principle, the peasant Khubilai was not stupid, he understood that investing too much in the Potemkin der ... sorry, there is no point in the Potemkin capital. Naturally, there are no archives - the Mongols, as you know, were illiterate at the peak of their power, and their lands were controlled with the help of corrupted telephones in the person of messengers.

                        As a result, we have a certain settlement that could not perform the functions of the capital - and indeed most of the city's functions - it was not clear why it was built, it does not have any objective signs of the capital and was declared as such by historians. Well, OK. Historians say that there was a Mongol Empire, which is confirmed by the ruins that historians declared to be the capital - a classic vicious circle. However, I am ready to agree that the Mongols invented the vicious circle of evidence under the guise of the “wheel of samsara” bully
                        To be continued about "Karakorum" and about the rest ...

                        Okay, dear comrades, sorry for the delays, business, and technical problems.
                        So, let's return to the Mongolian Potemkin capitals, into which looted wealth from all over the world flowed, where they were annihilated (in any case, archaeologists did not find anything of particular value). We have already found out that the so-called. Shangdu was completely dependent on supplies from China and therefore had neither economic, nor transport, nor strategic importance, i.e. he could not perform the functions of the capital, and therefore the officials call it the "summer residence of the khan."
                        How he was dated is not known, but even if we assume that is true, then there are no signs of special wealth. Only a square palace with a side allegedly half a kilometer.
                        True, what kind of palace was there is also not known exactly, because now there are solid ruins there. The city itself, apparently, consisted mostly of empty space, like the so-called. "Karakoram". What the "palace" consisted of is also unclear, perhaps from it - like European castles, in which the wall was hoo, and inside the courtyard and donjon.

                        But before moving on to the Karakorum, I would like to dwell on a couple more points.

                        Official historians, of course, understand that the conquest of the whole world by poor nomads is a fantasy cleaner than the Lord of the Rings, where the orcs in Mordor at least had a production base. Therefore, a solution that was fucking awesome at first glance was found - to switch the arrows to China. Like, the Mongols by some miracle captured China, which was superior to them in everything, and then, with the help of Chinese engineers, bureaucrats and submariners, set off to conquer the whole world. The Chinese, of course, didn’t even think about killing the remaining Mongols, because these are obedient Asians. Although these Asians have been rebelling throughout the 20th century, don’t play around.
                        Accordingly, the capital of the Mongols in China was.
                        The problem is that this translation of the arrows into the Chinese is an argument of such a kind that it would be better for the officials to keep quiet about it. Because then instead of the question “where is the Mongol influence on conquered Rus'?” the question immediately arises: “where is the Chinese influence on Rus'?” Where are economic documents written in hieroglyphs, where are borrowings from the Chinese language, where are preachers of the Chinese faith. And nowhere. And, in order to hammer the last nail into the coffin of the Chinese argument, we look at the history of the “Mongolian Beijing”, also known as Dadu (for some reason, the name is Chinese, as if the Mongols did not build it) or Khanbalik. For some reason, the city was built by an Arab architect (although Arabia didn’t seem to be conquered yet?) According to Chinese canons (although the rest of China didn’t seem to be conquered yet?)
                        Everything is simple here: it turns out that in 1368 he razed the Yuan palaces to the ground, i.e. again, there is no evidence of the capital status, except for urban legends, and the real history of Beijing begins only from the 13th century. The conquerors didn’t care how to destroy buildings that had been built for decades - but this explains the absence of traces of the Mongol and pre-Mongolian period. Ends in the water, like a gritsa.

                        However, it is quite possible that the "yuan palaces" were still made of straw, like those of three pigs, so they were of no value in the eyes of the Chinese, and it was a pleasure to destroy them. In particular, the remains of the old Yuan walls that survive to this day north of the Ming walls are now known as Tucheng (Chinese 土城, lit. earthen wall). Which immediately raises the question of whether the real Yuan walls were a banal earthen embankment. Which, of course, is also not bad, but for the capital of the world it is somehow liquid.

                        And finally, we have come to the pearl of the Mongol Empire, dear comrades, to the legendary Karakorum, a huge metropolis smaller than Moscow (sarcasm), where Yaroslav Vsevoldovich and Alexander Yaroslavovich came to pay their respects. Although now the Russians are somehow not eager even on planes to the Far East, but then it was a trifling matter to spend a year of their life trying to wave to Mongolia and back ...
                        What is the evidence that there was a capital city here?
                        It turns out that none. As usual. Because, as usual, the city had no strategic importance, and 25 years after its foundation, it lost its capital status and fell into decay. Like Shandu, nobody needed the fuck. Well, OK. By the way, from Shangdu, “by 1293, a significant part of the artisans left the city and moved to China.” rendered.
                        But did the buildings of that period remain, showing the power of the Mongol conquerors?
                        Oops, it turns out that in 1585 Abatai began the construction of the first stationary Buddhist monastery in Northern Mongolia, Erdeni-Dzu [before that, for 300 years, the great conquerors were somehow not puzzled by ideology and church bureaucracy], for which he had to not only restore old buildings, but and build new ones using stone from the ruins of the old city for construction.
                        That is, the real history of Karakorum begins at the end of the 16th century, but it is not known whether there was anything before that moment. ends in the water. Allegedly, everything was and was rebuilt.
                        By the way, “According to the “Precious Tale” of Sagan-Setsen, at the kurultai of 1415, it was decided to rebuild the capital, but the implementation of this decision has not yet been confirmed by any archaeological data.” Wow, even the officials are sometimes forced to admit that the “Mongolian legends” are not confirmed by material traces, it’s just that in most cases they still manage to pull an owl on a globe. Well, OK.
                        But, in the end, the officials insist that there was a city on this place long before the 16th century, and it was huge by local standards. So the traces of the might of the Empire are finally found, dear comrades. True, it is not clear how the officials can prove that in the 13th century the city already had the declared size.
                        But yes, and the joke would be with him. Let's meet the officials. And it turns out that there really was a huge settlement on the site of Karakorum, which was even visited by European travelers and described in detail. Well, OK.
                        Upon closer examination, however, the dimensions of the Karakorum turn out to be inflated in every sense. It turns out that it was basically a tent camp, but in reality, urban development occupied several times less area. It is, of course, cool that the tents of nomads are pathetically called “traditional Mongolian architecture”, but they are not suitable for permanent residence. And the wealth of the city again does not prove in any way. However, given that the Mongols didn’t fucking need the city, they quite reasonably didn’t spend money on houses, why build them if they leave later ...
                        By the way, about tradition. Somehow, "traditional cloth architecture" was combined with a regular layout. It remains to be understood how the Mongols came up with the brilliant idea of ​​regular planning. Not otherwise than because of the fall of a meteorite, as in Marvel comics? Let's admit. But why didn't the Mongols bring this idea to the conquered countries? Again, everything is sewn with white threads.
                        What remains, in fact, is the city wall itself, 1,5 by 2,5 km, which, of course, is not bad. True, upon closer examination, another UPS awaits us, because "adobe walls were necessary in order to control the approaches to the city, but in case of attacks they could not protect it." Those. it's not even an earthen rampart with a moat. This, sorry mua, “wall”, and if you call a spade a spade, then the fence had no military significance, respectively, and was inexpensive and in no way confirms the power of Karakorum.
                        It remains to be understood, in general, something was built in this place. Even if we consider that as the city of Karakorum, already under a new name, it really began to be built up from the construction of a monastery in 1585.
                        By all indications, this is simply a huge cattle market, founded jointly by the Chinese, Europeans and local Mongol leaders for hilling the Mongol clientele. It doesn't show any other function. This explains the regularity of the layout (that is, it is actually a large trading post), and the adobe fence, which did not protect against enemies (and what kind of enemies are there), but could limit the market from thieves and duty evaders. Again, cattle will not run back and forth and shit. Even the tents become understandable - people did not live here for a long time, but simply came to exchange livestock products for handicraft goods. Many of our markets look like this too.

                        Now Suvorov. Traveled about 300 km in 17 days.

                        YES. Milyutin estimates the total losses of Suvorov at 5100 people, of which 1600 were killed, including those who crashed during the transitions, and 980 wounded, left in Switzerland, out of 21 Russian soldiers who went on a campaign. Only upon arrival in the city for the first time since the beginning of the passage through the Panix did the soldiers receive heat, bread, meat and vodka portions. Of the entire Suvorov corps, only 000 people could hardly remain under arms, the rest suffered from fever or snow blindness. The Cossack hundreds were reduced to about 10 horsemen, each with four or five surviving horses in poor condition; artillery was completely lost; a third of the troops lost their guns, and those that were left rusted and fell into disrepair; the bayonets were blunted, and the uniforms were tattered beyond recognition. 000 francs of the army treasury were also lost.

                        And since we see - IT IS POSSIBLE, you can still walk along the road without supplies, dear comrades, and since you can go 17 days and lose 20% of the personnel, then you can also go five times more distance ... Having lost 20 * 5 = 100% personnel. But this is Suvorov, otherwise it was Genghis Khan, and who is Suvorov in front of him? Lol!

                        It was Suvorov who lost people and horses killed, wounded, frostbitten, fallen into the abyss during the campaign, and Genghis Khan and other Mongol commanders, on the contrary, found new soldiers along the way, wiped off the dust and took them into the army. Suvorov lost heavy cannons, and the Mongols had anti-gravity, and the weight of siege weapons changed to negative, so that they could be dragged by captured women with one left. Suvorov was constantly attacked by enemy troops, and the Mongols had a +100 buff to intimidate the enemy, so the enemies either fled or became numb and allowed themselves to be killed without a fight.

                        Nevertheless, the question remains: how did Suvorov storm city after city, having an exhausted army in his hands? But no way. The assault was at the very beginning, when they took the Devil's Bridge, and even then it was conditional, but there were no further assaults. In fact, Suvorov left the encirclement. But that was Suvorov's sucker, and the Mongols, under the same conditions, carried out strategic offensive operations to the entire depth of the front. There is not only Suvrorv, there is even Guderian in front of our Genghis Khan sucker.

                        In your second statement, you confirm the first: since you “were fed from the locals,” it means that there was no centralized supply. Only forced requisitions of provisions from the local population, which is obviously not enough. This means that the Mongols had to crawl to Derbent, barely standing on their feet and eating the last horses - as Suvorov's fighters, Kalmyks, Mormons and Chinese miraculously reached the last point of their routes under Mao.

                        You can, of course, “get fed by the locals,” provided that the locals don’t know how to fight and don’t want to, and endure everything themselves. Especially in the Karakum. I will say more: you can take fortified cities, provided that the inhabitants in the sight of the Mongol banners immediately make a collective hara-kiri. True, hordes of hundreds of thousands are not needed for this, an embassy of a couple of dozen people is enough, but for some reason historians bashfully do not voice this option and insist that the hordes were and even were full-fledged assaults, and not just the hypnotic effect of Tatar banners with a buff of + 100 to terrify and petrify enemy units. Probably because then the fabulousness of the "Mongol conquests" will become clear to everyone laughing

                        >> you always come up with some kind of nonsense, and then successfully refute it.

                        I wonder what kind of nonsense I came up with? That the conquerors, who would have thought, need to fight? That they suffer losses from hunger and cold? It is only the national general staff who believes that as soon as they enter enemy territory, the army will immediately scatter there, and the population will come out with flowers. Do you happen to work for the General Staff? This explains a lot laughing

                        >> About Suvorov, in the context of our conversation, only the use of steam engines is important, or not.

                        In the context of our conversation: without the use of steam engines, Suvorov's army miraculously emerged from the encirclement, having completely lost its combat effectiveness. This means that the storming of cities by the “Mongols” after lengthy land crossings is completely ruled out by the example of Suvorov.

                        An excellent excuse, but for some reason the officials have the opposite: there were battles, and assaults, and the population “avoided confrontation” so well that the Mongols did nothing but rezal, burned and devastated. For example, in what expressions the conquest of Dagestan is described:

                        “Having devastated and devastated part of Georgia, the Mongol-Tatars headed for Shirvan...” “From Georgia,” writes Kirakos Gandzaketsi, “the Mongol-Tatars headed for the Derbent Gate with the intention of returning home. However, the Tajiks, who owned Derbent, did not let them through.”
                        “Having passed Derbend-Shirvan,” wrote Ibn-al-Asir, “the Tatars entered the regions in which there are many nationalities: Alans, Lakz and several Turkic tribes (taifa), robbed and killed many Lakz-Muslims and unbelievers, massacred among those who met their hostile inhabitants of those countries"
                        "As the well-known orientalist I.P. Petrushevsky wrote, "... during the Chingiz conquests, we no longer see spontaneous cruelties and destruction, but organized methods of mass extermination of civilians, the devastation of entire regions"

                        Etc. etc. and a cherry on the cake: “Rashid ad-din writes about the Mongols that in the spring of 1239, “having appointed an army for a campaign, they entrusted it to Bukdai and sent him to Timur-Kakhalka so that he would occupy the Avir region as well.” Timur Kahalka ( in the translation from the Mongolian “Iron Gates”), mentioned here, is Derbent, which was taken and destroyed.

                        Yes, that's right, it was in 23 when they returned from the Transcaucasian campaign and after the raid on Kalka and the Defeat of Bulgaria, they fought, of course. And in pursuit of Mehmed, they didn’t fight on his territory, almost.

                        Rashid:
                        "Genghis Khan gave him a term and ordered that when Jebe, Subedai and other troops reached his region and people, they would not harm them. For this reason, when Jebe and Subedai reached the region (Khan-melika), they did not touch it and passed (further). Tukuchar, who followed them, altered the order and encroached on these regions, as well as on other regions and localities. He entered into a war with the highlanders there and was killed. "
                        Juvaini describes the movement of the chase as follows:

                        “First, they (the Mongols. - V.T.) arrived in Balkh. Notable citizens sent a deputation to meet him with tuzga and refreshments. And the Mongols, therefore, did not harm them and appointed a shikhna to them. Then they took a guide from them, they sent Taizi ahead.

                        Approaching the city of Zawa, they demanded to give them food, but the inhabitants of the city closed the gate, and did not attach any importance to their words, and did not give them anything. The Mongols were in a hurry and therefore, without stopping, they galloped on. And when the inhabitants of Zava saw the receding banners and saw the backs of the Mongols, they, in their unreasonableness, began to beat drums and gibberish and began to shout insulting and abusive words. The Mongols, seeing their insulting antics and hearing their speeches, turned back and in a rage attacked all three fortresses, placing ladders against their walls. On the third day, by the time the goblet of the horizon was filled to the brim with the blood of the dawn, they climbed the walls and left no one alive.

                        And I know a lot of interesting stories myself.

                        “Hercules worked diligently with a shovel for half a day. He blocked the river bed and diverted its waters directly to the royal stables. By the evening, the swift stream of Alpheus had carried away all the manure from the stables, and along with the manure, stalls, feeders, and even dilapidated walls.

                        "Do not seek, king," said Hercules, "I cleared your stables not only of manure, but also of everything that had long rotted away. I did more than I promised. Now you give me what you promised."

                        Avgiy was greedy, he did not want to give up his horses. He ordered two of his nephews to ambush Hercules and kill him. How could two mere mortals cope with the son of Zeus! And the ambush arranged by them did not help - the nephews of Avgius fell at the hands of Hercules. laughing

                        Or, "Whoever is fearful and timid, let him return and go back from Mount Gilead." And twenty-two thousand people returned, and ten thousand remained. 4 And the Lord said to Gideon, There are still many people; lead them to the water, there I will choose them for you; of whom I say, "Let him go with you," let him go with you; but of whom I say to you, "I must not go with you," let him not go. 5 He led the people to the water And the Lord said to Gideon, Whoever laps water with his tongue, as a dog laps, set him apart, also all those who bow down on their knees and drink. the people bowed down on their knees to drink water. 6 And the Lord said to Gideon, With three hundred lappers I will save you, and I will deliver the Midianites into your hand;

                      Example. Kalmyks - they are Oirats, they are Western Mongols, they are the real Mongols. In January 1771, the Mongols living on the left bank of the Volga, numbering from 50 to 100 thousand people (the numbers are most likely inaccurate, in reality there were less significant) rushed across the winter Kazakh steppe to Dzungaria. In a few months of a campaign on the sad surface of reality, being subjected to raids by the Kazakhs (the Oirats had beaten the Kazakhs like dogs for 150 years, and then they naturally recouped them), the Mongols - children of the steppes and owners of amazing horses - lost two-thirds of their livestock and up to a third of "personal composition".
                      In 1645, the army of the Crimean Khan Kazy-Girey invaded the winter campaign (!) along the Muravsky Way. Due to the weather (frost) and lack of food, the Tatars lost up to half of their horses and up to a third of their warriors. The geography of the raid - the territory of modern Kursk, Belgorod, Voronezh regions. Therefore, the Tatars tried not to go hiking in winter. This is understandable why.

It was decided to return the king from the crossing back to Nizhny Novgorod (where he arrived on February 8), while the main governors with the part of the army that managed to cross reached Kazan, where they engaged in battle with the Kazan army [4]. As a result, the Kazan army retreated behind the walls of the wooden Kremlin, which the Russian army did not dare to storm without siege artillery and, after standing under the walls for seven days and devastating the surroundings, retreated. On March 7, 1548, the tsar returned to Moscow[5].

                  How the natives lived in Siberia can be read by N.M. Yadrintsev "Siberia as a Colony" 1882. This is to understand that 500 years ago it was not better. There is no statehood and there is no trace of at least some kind of legacy. Free people with a small detachment led by well-known merchants take power, and later Siberia becomes a Russian state up to Alaska. This is due to excellence in knowledge, where the Mongols suddenly froze in the distant past. Ryleev in Russian Pravda writes about the plight of the natives in Siberia. There are no original chronicles, in particular, about the yoke of the Tatar-Mongols, the first mention was made in Poland, it was there that this topic was promoted, by Jan Dlugosh. It is also not clear with Jan, it raises suspicion that he was given this glory in the 17th century in the same Poland. There are correspondences on paper of the 17th-18th century in Church Slavonic letters. We first need to know the history of paper, when white paper appeared and the transition of woodcuts to block letters with the help of swine letters. We need to find out the authenticity of the publication before talking about the authenticity of history. In 18-19 there were many fakes of antiquity, there is a well-known story of the Izinbek Tablet.
                  How can one say from European selection that horses have always been in Mongolia? You do not say that cellular communication has always been in Mongolia since the 13th century. Yes, they brought horses, but only from the beginning of trade with Europe, including with Russia. I can guess no earlier than the 18th century. And the first sketches of maps of Siberia were written by Herberstein in 1548, then the colonists were looking for a short way to China through Rus', i.e. at that time there was still no trade with the natives. For Europe, a big Tatar, this is not yet explored territory, roughly speaking a wild land, like America after the discovery. The growth of indigenous Mongolian horses is 126-127 cm. Ancient sources were used not only by the Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, headed by foreign specialists, but by Tyuchev, Pushkin and other inspirers of Russian history. But they did not save the original. I am not a supporter of Hyperborea and Rus'-hordes, for me this one is still fantastic. What Samsonov writes is hard for me to read myself, for this we need evidence, confirmation, and not unfoundedness. I can't say anything about this topic.

                      We take, for example, the Novgorod Chronicle, we read ...

                      “The same lie, according to our sins, having come to the languages ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbof the unknown, their goodness, no one knows who the essence and the origin of the izidosh, and what their language is, and which tribe they are, and what their faith is;”

                      those. the chronicler definitely says that he does not know where the conquerors came from and who they are at all

                      “And I’m called Tatars, and I say Taurmens”

                      Tatars and taurmens. And where are the Mongols? Suppose the Russians then did not know anything about Mongolia (although the Mongols knew about Rus', it turns out), but by what signs can one understand that the conquerors were from there?
                      “Taurmens” are allegedly Turkmens (also never Mongols), although this word can be interpreted in any way.

                      “and the friends of Pechenia;”

                      And others that they are Pechenegs, although modern historians believe that the Tatar-Mongols and Pechenegs are different peoples.

                      “They say, as if they are, / L. 96. / About them, Methodius, Bishop of Patom, testify, as if they came from the desert of Etrievsky, existing between the East and the North.”

                      That is, some believe that Bishop Methodius spoke about this people, that this people, which, in accordance with some prophecy, will come out of the Judean Desert (also never Mongolia). Arguments, of course, no other than religious.

                      In general, you wishful thinking. The annals speak of the invasion of certain "Tatars", but they do not trace any connection with modern Mongolia.

                        They came from nowhere, according to the Russians, which is especially significant after Kalka for 22 years, for fifteen years they thought they didn’t think of it. Such was our intelligence, like the modern Shoigov. And the Mongols, on the contrary, knew well where they were going and why, fulfilling the precepts of the kurultai for 35 years. They were good with intelligence. It is not surprising that they could not decide where from, they got confused and in whom.

      Yes, it’s clear that this is all absurdity, but armchair historians argue in such a way that they say, “if it is written like this in the annals, then it was so.” And they are very nervous about reconstructions and checking the physical feasibility of their constructions.
      Naturally, hehe, if in the annals it is written about how Prince Vladimir miraculously became blind, and after baptism he regained his sight, or about crocodiles in Novgorod, then the historian rejects these reports. Because they subjectively seem implausible to him. But the Mongol hordes do not seem to be, because there is not enough natural science education.

      By the way. There is a very popular fantasy book called Game of Thrones. And there, too, there are steppe conquerors. But they: a) live in a very peculiar highly productive steppe with human-sized grass, b) they don’t take cities by storm, but began to take them only when dragons appeared in them, and c) they were afraid to swim by the sea.

      Those. J. Martin's fantasy steppes turned out to be much more realistic than historical ones.

      In general, the fear of hordes of nomads is something irrational. This is either a product of the colonialist ideology of the 18-19th century, when Europeans actively seized the lands of the eastern peoples, or vague memories from the past, when a hundred mediocrely armed horsemen were perceived as a "huge horde" and really could, due to their numerical advantage (a hundred for a short time is tolerable for the steppe biocenosis) to bring out some advanced settlement of agricultural peoples.

      In general, this is our collective unconscious, fear of hordes of nomads.

        Was it a non-science fiction book or just fantasy "on the topic"? Did you accidentally confuse the Mongols with the Masai? Any veterinarian will confirm to you that even a small blood loss for a horse is much more dangerous than heavy blood loss, for example, in a person. Horses are herbivores, and grass is very low in iron, so horses regenerate hemoglobin very slowly. And a horse with anemia on itself will not drag the rider away, moreover, it will quickly get tired and fall. So than drinking blood from a horse, it’s better to just eat it.

      Well, finally, someone decided to speak out against this well-established mega-fake, with which our officials and liberals were happy to justify Russia's technological backwardness. I will also contribute my seven kopecks to the destruction of this myth. Background - in Soviet times, on a voluntary basis, I led a biological circle in one of the schools. He took the matter seriously - we not only hung birdhouses and cleaned streams, but also studied thoughtfully and consistently the general principles of biology. The kids in the circle were smart - two of them are now academicians and I am proud that there is my merit in this. So...
      We discussed somehow biocenoses. Actually, there was nothing particularly difficult with biocenoses, but abrupt changes in the biocenosis can lead to fatal consequences. As a factor of abrupt changes, the anthropogenic factor was considered as the most dangerous and unpredictable. And here, almost by accident, the conversation went to the STEPPE - the most delicate and unstable biocenosis. Imagine that an army is marching across the steppe. Equestrian. It does not go fast, since the most enduring horses can carry no more than 20% of their own weight, and you have to carry a lot, since there are no settlements and warehouses with provisions in the steppe. Horses, like people, want to eat, you won’t take a lot of oats in a wagon train, that is, the basis of the diet of horses and sheep (live canned food) is steppe grass. Feather grass, bluegrass, bent grass, etc. And let's count - there is an army of ten thousand people - this is at least thirty thousand horses - for each one combat, one spare and one pack. The grass mass in the steppe is 400-600 grams (during rains up to two kilograms) per square meter, a horse needs at least twenty kilograms of grass per day. And now estimate on what area should this army disperse so that the horses eat ??? And will such an army be manageable due to its dispersal? The next moment - the period of grass stand in the steppe is short, in order to have food you need to move to the rivers, but the rivers along the route of the horde flow either to the north or to the south, and you need to move to the west, and in some places through the mountains, AND THERE ARE NO ROADS AND FOOD STOPS ALSO . And then winter comes - there are no haystacks and granaries along the way, there are no villages and villages - there is even no one to rob. And that's it, the army died of hunger. First, horses will be eaten, and then ... Well, you understand that no army from the Mongolian steppes could simply reach Europe. Applause, curtain.

      Agree. Macedonian, Huns, Ottomans, Tamerlane also could not get anywhere.

    And I believe in such a concept! Especially about the "mongoid" nature of the Russian ethnic group, or rather, in its absence!
    From personal: my daughter is Russian, son-in-law (former) mestizo (mother is Russian, father is Georgian), granddaughter with a characteristic nose, but beautiful and smart. There is already a clear dominance of the father's genes!
    The stepdaughter is Russian, the son-in-law is a mestizo (Turkish-Uzbek), the grandson is a hare to her mother, and the granddaughter to her father, an oriental beauty, model appearance.
    There are many Koreans in Uzbekistan, from pre-war times. So their blood interrupts any genes. This is where the obvious mongodoidness is. All exclusively children from marriages with Koreans and Kreyans with other nations are Mongoloids!

    The myth of the "Tatar-Mongol yoke" January 5, 2018
    As noted earlier, the myth of the “Mongols from Mongolia” was invented in the conceptual and ideological center of the West, which holds the “keys” to history, in papal Rome. The Russian superethnos (Rus) has existed since the very beginning of the appearance of the white race on the planet, our history is at least 40-45 thousand years old. However, the true history of Rus' and the superethnos was "cut off" and distorted in the interests of the masters of the West and their lackeys-serfs in Russia, who want to become part of the "world civilized community" at any cost, even at the cost of surrendering their homeland

      Chronicles were not written in volumes. Chronicles were published in volumes. According to the order of Nicholas I. And there are not 5000 volumes, but only 23 volumes.
      "Complete collection of Russian chronicles" (PSRL), serial publication in Russian. chronicles. Started in 1841 by the Archeographic Commission. In 1841-63, 10 volumes (1-9 and 15) were printed, then the publication was suspended. Volumes 1885–1918 and 10–14 were published in 16–23. In 1898 and 1908 the Index of Persons and the Geographic Index were published for the first 8 volumes.

      And about who rewrote it is an interesting question. Apparently, the then alternatives, who later became "officials" ruled.
      The oldest Russian chronicle was called The Tale of Bygone Years.
      But in the PVL there is nothing about the Tatars or the Mongols.
      Next comes the Laurentian Chronicle. It is precisely this that is the main source of our “knowledge” about the Tatar or, as it has recently become fashionable, about the “Mongolian” conquest of Rus'.

      We read G. M. PROKHOROV, who conducted a codicological analysis of the Laurentian Chronicle.

      A codicological analysis of the Laurentian Chronicle (manuscript of 1377) made it possible to discover that the producers of the manuscript replaced its already written sheets 153-164, and some of these sheets, apparently, were replaced more than once. And here's what's remarkable. The replaced sheets just tightly cover in the annals all the news about the conquest of Rus' by the Tatar-Mongols: on the front side l. 153 there is the first record about the Tatars (“Yavishas yazitsi, and no one is kind to clearly know who the essence and where is the izidosh ...”), on the reverse side of this sheet there is a story about the battle on Kalka (1223), and on turnover . 164 - the latest news about the military actions of the Tatars in Rus' (1240) (“Take Kiev Tatarov ...”). 2 In addition, page 167, also not the original in the code, contains a story about the uprising against the "besurmen" in 1262 in the Rostov-Suzdal land. It is clear that the alteration in the manuscript is connected precisely with the Tatar theme. The main attention of the remodelers (we can talk about the main scribe, the “mnih” of Lawrence, and about the owner of the handwriting, invading in three places - on folios 157, 161 and 167 - the handwriting of Lawrence) was concentrated, as shown by the “traces” left by him, in gap between 158 and 164 sheets. And it is within these limits - on ll. 159 rev.- 164 rev. - we find a coherent, continuous narrative about the tragic events of 1237-1239. - the story of Batu's invasion of Rus' (it does not have a special heading in the annals; beginning: "The same summer, for the winter, I came from the eastern countries to the Ryazan land with the forest of godlessness of the Tatars"). Obviously, this story of the Laurentian Chronicle is, to some extent, a work of the scribes of 1377.
      But to what extent and in what way was the work of the scribes creative?
      V. L. Komarovich drew attention to the extraordinary richness of the story about Batu's army (placed) in the Laurentian Chronicle, borrowings and the previous part of the annalistic narration. Indeed, this feature sharply distinguishes the text of the Tale from its environment. Outside its limits, throughout the remaining 170 sheets of the chronicle, it is possible to notice no more than a dozen and a half undoubted repetitions of periods, phrases or revolutions. On the six occupied by the story (The story of Batu's invasion - my footnote) there are thirty-three inclusions of different sizes on the sheets. In general, this mosaic makes up about a third of the volume of the story. Let's show these cases.
      At the very beginning of the story, to describe the defeat of the Ryazan principalities by the Tatars, the description of the defeat of the Byzantine coasts in 941 by the retinue of Prince Igor was used:
      -10 (941). . . and more often fight the Bethany countries and fight along Pontus to Arklai and to the Faflogonian land, and the whole country of Nicomedia was captivated and the Court was burned; and eat these rastinaha, other countries like supplying and shooting at me, izimahut, opaki and tying up, iron nails in the middle of the heads to beat them; many saints of the church were betrayed by fire, the monastery and the village were burned, and there were a lot of estates in both countries. Then came the howling from the east ....

      - 159 about. (1237). . . and more often to fight the Ryazan land, and planning to Pronsk, captivating Ryazan's weight and burning and killing their prince; and eat ovs rastinahut, others shoot arrows at me, and others opaki rutsi tie up; many saints have betrayed the churches, and burned the monasteries and villages, there are a lot of estates in both countries; then go to Kolomna.

      The second time the author-editor went to the same source to tell about the ruin of Moscow: “the city and the churches of the holy fires were betrayed and all the monasteries and the villages were burned, and many estates were taken away” (l. 160).
      Extracts from the articles of 1185, 1186 and 1093 were put into the mouths of the princes of Vladimir Vsevolod and Mstislav:
      That's the question. What alternatives and when did they need to insert sheets describing the conquest of Rus' by the Tatars into that chronicle, which they then began to call "Laurentievskaya" (these alternatives apparently did not know anything about the Mongols, otherwise they would have immediately inserted the Mongols).

    As my friend said, using a compilation of two "similar" expressions: "The legend is fresh, but it's hard to see..."! What to do with the Russian language, which has a lot of "Tatar" borrowings? There is a Russian word "horse" ("komon") and there is a Tatar "horse" ... Two different words denoting the same thing! And there are many such "verbal" examples! But what about standing on the Ugra in 1480? And the duel in 1380 between Peresvet and Chelubey? Not Peresvet and Vladislav, representatives of the "one" world! And Peresvet and Chelubey, representatives of different (!) Worlds!

    There is an expression: Pull an owl on a globe ... as an example of unnecessary, and maybe even hard work! The author "successfully" refutes such an opinion ... it's easy for him to "pull an owl on a globe"! belay

      Standing on the Ugra has nothing to do with the Mongols. Have you seen where it is? This is a river. This is more like the truth. So the roads were river and sea along the coast. And they attacked along the Dnieper. The Dnieper never flows into Mongolia. Recall Yermak, who, on boats with a small detachment, defeated your entire beloved Great Monopoly with the Tatars)))) The natives attacked Rus', this is complete nonsense of an unprecedented fantasy. Before Peter 1, there were no iron mines in Rus'. Silver, tin, iron were bought from Europe. In Rus' there was swamp iron, which could only be enough for tools. I’ll check more that it was the Europeans in armor and on horseback who attacked Rus'. If you look closely at the children's drawings of the chronicle, then the attack of the Europeans is more like the truth than the natives on Rus'.

    I want to note to the author of the article that history is not what was told, but what happened ...! And what happened, this is written in the materials of the archives. Here are the materials from which archives the author refers to, claiming that there was no Tatar-Mongol yoke in Rus'. There is not a word about these materials in the article.
    Even with logic, some of the statements here somehow do not fit. If the term Tatar-Mongol yoke, like the term Kievan Rus, was invented by the Romanov court historian and admirer of everything English and everything Polish Karamzin, then how can one think like Karamzin, declaring in an article to us that there was no Tatar-Mongol yoke in Rus'. After all, just at the suggestion of Karamzin and the ardent Ukrainophile Maksimovich, in historiography the terms Vladimir Rus, Novgorod Rus, Suzdal Rus were sent into oblivion, as if these "Rus" had never existed, and every day they began to hammer in Karamzin and Maksimovich the coined term Kievan Rus . Kievan Rus ... By this they tried to belittle the importance of the Vladimir, Suzdal, Ryazan, Moscow princes, and with such articles that there was no yoke at all, here they are trying to belittle the three hundred years of Russian suffering from this yoke and the struggle of Russians against the Tatar-Mongol yoke. They say , there was no yoke ...

    Another subverter of history .. First, about one thing,about genetics, there are no traces either at the level of statistics, and then in the "prosperous" layers (boyars, etc.) .. And now the reality of the late nineteenth century-in hungry winters, the peasants of the middle zone of the Republic of Ingushetia stopped feeding the younger ones (more often babies) so that at least someone would survive ... And what do you readers think, where did this wonderful tradition come from? From there, from the inevitable two or three years of hunger strikes as a result of the invasion, and guess three times who stopped feeding in the first place? These very fruits of violence ... Further, the shepherds, everything is correct, but they are the owners and the owners have the Chinese, and China was already in those days a state with a well-built "vertical".

        This "nice habit of humanity has probably been going on since the Stone Age .. But after the campaigns of the Genghisides across the territory of Rus' and the further yasachnitsa on the territory of Rus', there were few able-bodied men and women of childbearing age who died during sieges and in battles and were driven to the Crimea for sale. Therefore, then famine reigned for several years until the change grew. The hunger strike "satisfied, but in those troubled times, the population on the territory of Rus' was relatively small in relation to the area of ​​​​residence and without black-and-white they lived hungry but without extreme sports .. And yes! Vidas about the tumens (army) of the great commander of all times and peoples Subedei (at the level of the tyrant Alexander the Great, Generalisimus Suvorov) Now psychologists reign in the army and motivate for a feat, but then they didn’t know this word, but they knew how to break the spine without depriving a warrior of his life, here you are motivation of iron discipline and perseverance in battles. and this is not a Roman lottery of decimation, this is the eastern prose of life - one ran or did not fulfill the order one-all ten in which he consisted of the spine and thrown along the path of the horde, a dozen runs - it’s creepy and a hundred will die for a long time

    I will not argue about the Tatar-Mongol yoke, I read this point of view a long time ago in "Russia that did not exist" Bushkov and I do not agree with it. As, by the way, Dahl's explanatory dictionary. But okay, suppose there was no yoke. For the shepherds could not conquer the world. However, the "Russo-Scythian pagan hordes" that conquered China are still stubbornly called Mongolian in the same China. And the conquering dynasties too. That is, shepherds could still conquer China? No, maybe they, too, fell under the influence of vicious Masonic disinformation, but...
    And as for the civilization that suddenly appeared along the banks of the Volga ... the author somehow misses that before the Golden Horde was formed, these comrades, whoever they were, had already conquered quite civilized China and the Arab states. What prevented them from taking advantage of the experience and skills of the conquered? Oh, I lost sight of the option when no one conquered China and Asia Minor (I forgot what caliphate was there in those days) and their annals were also corrected ...
    And decide already. In what masses of the Mongoloid population did the Rus of the Golden Horde dissolve, if it has already been said that "not a Mongolian skull"? Only the Skyphorus were supposed to live there.

The fact that the yoke did not exist in the form in which it is presented in a conditional "textbook" is self-evident. But what was behind the change of the overlord by the Russian princes after the fall of Constantinople, the proxy of which forces was the Golden Horde, are interesting questions.

    Vasily Yan wrote a whole cycle of novels "Genghis Khan", "Batu" and "To the Last Sea", received the Stalin Prize, and now someone claims that none of this happened ?! In those days, the authors seriously worked with documents! My poor brain
    What was not? Was there no Stalin Prize? Was. But why was she given to the former corrective duty of the information department of the office, that is, the head of the propaganda bureau at Kolchak, the White Guard journalist Yanchevetsky? Having Polish roots, as he is the son of the "antique scholar" Grigory Andreevich Yanchevetsky, who graduated from the Volyn Theological Seminary. This seminary accepted children of the Orthodox faith from 7 to 15 years old, who had previously been trained in the Basilian and Jesuit schools of Ovruch, Mezhirich, Ostrog.
    About the award. Here is after all what moment. Let's look at the dates.
    In February 1940, V. Yan, not yet a member of the Union of Writers of the USSR, still handed over the manuscript "Batu" to Goslitizdat.
    And two months later, in April 1941, V. Yan handed over the abridged and adapted for children text of “Invasion of Batu” to Detgiz.
    On April 22, 1941, the writer was invited to the Moscow City Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks for a conversation with A.S. Shcherbakov about the future story, conditionally called "Alexander Nevsky and the Golden Horde."
    In May 1941, it was decided to print "Batu" as a "lightning book".
    The first copies were received on June 15, 1941.
    That is, V. Yan got into the stream, as they say. He wrote the work the state needed at the right time.
    It was important for the leadership of the USSR that the people associate the forthcoming invasion of the Nazis with the invasion of the "barbarian Mongols". But whether the Mongols really existed or they didn’t exist is a tenth matter for big state policy.
    By the way, Yanchevetsky was admitted to the Union of Soviet Writers on July 21.
    About serious work with documents.
    Here we look. On August 21, 1934, an entry appeared in V. Yan's diary: the publishing house "Young Guard" unexpectedly became interested in the topic of Genghis Khan and an agreement was signed for the story in 12 author's sheets, with the deadline for submitting the manuscript in February 1935.
    Here's how you can "seriously work with documents" in less than 1 year?
    It is possible only in one case.
    If there are no documents at all.
    By the way, only half of the text was ready by the deadline. After the end of the text - June 12, 1935 - it turned out that the editor in charge at the publishing house had changed, who rejected the manuscript, citing "many inaccuracies." Where the new managing editor got the "inaccuracies" from - only the Great Spirit Manitou knows.
    Since in fact there were no "accuracies" and neither V. Yan nor the responsible editor have.

    If you don’t know a damn thing about history, you don’t lecture, you don’t listen to books, then yes
    And if you listen to lectures, read books, does this mean that you know something about history? In history, the main thing is the sources. And the sources should be not only narrative, moreover, written no one knows when and no one knows by whom, but documentary historical sources.
    The positivist paradigm in source studies is most consistently developed in the work of Sh.-V. Langlois and C. Segnobos "Introduction to the Study of History" (1898), which is based on a course of lectures they delivered at the Sorbonne in the 1896/97 academic year. Sh.-V. Langlois (1863-1929) - medievalist historian, professor at the Sorbonne, holder of a diploma from the National School of Charters, director of the National Archives (1912-1929), member (since 1917), then president (since 1925) of the Academy of inscriptions and belles-lettres . C. Segnobos (1854–1942) – professor at the Sorbonne (1890), began his research activity with the study of ancient and medieval history, later specialized in modern history, author of the work “Political History of Modern Europe” (1897).
    "Introduction to the Study of History" begins with a formula that over time has become an aphorism:
    History is written according to documents. Documents are traces left by the thoughts and actions of people who once lived <…>. Every thought and every deed that has not left a direct or indirect trace, or whose visible trace has disappeared, is forever lost to history, as if it had never existed <…>. Nothing can replace documents: there are none, there is no history

          Huns most likely nothing. They could not occupy the area that they draw on the maps. In extreme cases, the "Huns" could occupy this territory as a people, and not as representatives of a single state.
          And with Macedonian, much is unclear and almost certainly most of the information about him is the same legendary exaggeration as about Genghis Khan. But if there was a trip to India, then he:
          1) Relyed on the rear of those developed ancient states that Macedonian allegedly conquered earlier
          2) Occurred along trade routes
          3) Most of the trade routes were waterways, no one in their right mind walked from Egypt to India on foot, the sea is nearby.

        And let's talk about arrows. Imagine for a moment that the notorious "Mongolian" invasion of the "Mongols" with arrows with a "Mongolian type of tip" was not really. Official historical sites claim that the arrows of the "Mongols" were "heavy" From 200 to 280 grams. Let's take the lower limit of 200 gr. So, one arrow is 0,2 kg. How many arrows does the "Mongol" have. Well, let's assume that he himself carried 20 arrows and another 40 arrows were carried by his spare horse. This means that one "Mongol" had arrows for 12 kilograms. A hundred thousandth army, respectively, has 1 kg or 200 tons.
        Arrows are a consumable item. Of course, a certain number of arrows were collected and recycled. But hardly any arrow was used more than twice. So, on average, one and a half times. If you believe Tik historians like you, then shooting arrows was the main way the "Mongols" fought.
        So, the "Mongols" came to Rus' and after a while were left with a half supply of arrows. How to recover losses? Okay, you can say that the "Mongols" forced our local blacksmiths to forge arrows according to the "Mongolian pattern". But the question is - how many tips will one blacksmith forge per day? I suppose if it took him at least 1 minutes to make 10 tip, then with a 15 hour working day he will forge 90 tips. And this is with continuous operation. Ninety tips is 30 tips per "Mongol". So, three "Mongols" will be with arrows. In 10 days, one blacksmith will provide 30 Mongols with tips. It is unlikely that the "Mongols" managed to collect more than 10 blacksmiths. This means that in 10 days 10 blacksmiths will be provided with tips ... already 300 "Mongols". And the rest of what will fight? Moreover, blacksmiths do not keep stocks of metal. The blacksmith could well say, like, "Father Mongols, I will forge tips for you, but just give me metal. After all, customers come to me with their metal, from which I forge everything they need." The question is - where will the "Mongols" get the required amount of metal from? Or will you say that the Mongols brought metal with them from Mongolia? About five thousand tons of commercials, right ???
        Okay, you can tell that on the way from Mongolia, the "Mongols" replenished their stocks of arrows along the way. But then it turns out that they replenished their stock of arrows with arrows not with Mongolian ones, but with local arrowheads. So, I think so, by the time their native arrowheads arrived in Rus', there were one or two and there were not many.
        Another moment. You often talk about tips. And never talk about the poles. But it is much easier to determine from the shaft where the tree from which the shaft was made grew. It's kind of weird for you. On the one hand, you have papyri allegedly preserved from 2000 BC, and on the other hand, there are no shafts from the 13th century AD? How so? Okay, you will say that Egypt has a dry climate. But we have swamps. And even peat bogs. In which organic matter is preserved better than in the sands of Egypt.
        And you seem to have fought battles, including near swamps (the battle on the Sit River). Nevertheless, you don’t have a single arrow shaft, as well as a “Mongolian spear”. How so?

Russia is an empire in which the Russian people, which united all nations, thanks to its identical approach to all, absorbed the genetics and culture and character of these peoples, but did not dissolve them in a common cauldron. So with the Genghisides, we Buryat Mongols became part of Russia and do not regret it.

    The Turks, let's take, on the example of the Kazakhs, the directions for sunrise and sunset are taken as the basis for orientation in space. In the Kazakh language, sunrise is shygys, sunset is batys. From here East-Shygys, and West-Batys. The main holy direction of the Turks (Kazakhs) was and remains the "East". Everything that is located to the west of the steppe for the Kazakhs had the prefix "batu", and to the east - "shygys". From here, the ruler of any Turks (Kazakhs) western from the habitat was called Batu-Khan (Batu). And the one who ruled to the east - well, for example, China - was Shygys Khan (in our pronunciation, Genghis Khan). That is, all these Batu, Batu, Batys and Shagys (Genghis) could be (and were, because the West is full of all sorts of "Karls") the names of both specific people and common names for all the khans-rulers of these directions and territories. Here another puncture of professional historians is obvious. Those travelers who then brought all the information received to European courts and court historians when they walked (traveled) through the Turkic lands, then to the question "Who caused this or that destruction" from their Turkic-speaking counterparts could receive the following answers:
    1) This was done by Shagys Khan (Genghis Khan). In the understanding of the storyteller is some kind of famous Khan, whose lands were located east of those who were interviewed.
    2) This was done by Batys-Khan (Batu, Batu). This is any Khan of lands located west of those who were interviewed. Batys - Western.
    Maybe even named names. But since the last (actually names) components were inconstant, only the first invariably constant part was remembered - CHINGIS KHAN. Since the main holy direction among the Turks (Kazakhs) was and remains the "East", it goes without saying that now in Asia every second is a descendant of one or another Genghis Khan (Genghisid). European historians, on the other hand, having collected such a mass of claims against "Genghis Khan" and "Batu Khan" and stupidly not realizing that they (well, those travelers who later brought all this information to European courts and court historians) the locals simply told about their local showdowns with some eastern or western neighbors for 300-400 years, and considering that "Genghis Khan" and "Batu Khan" are the names of specific people, they decided that only great people could commit such large-scale deeds. And honestly mistaken, historians began to sculpt a myth about the "Great Genghis Khan" and his grandson "Batu Khan" (whom the historians sent to the very west). Moreover, they sent it so firmly that, according to historians, “Batu” himself never went even to intra-family gatherings in Mongolia, but sent the newly conquered Russian princes. And the Mongolian relatives of "Batu" allegedly gladly accepted the envoys instead of the original in their narrow family circle.

      Some historians, such as caliber, neither physics, nor chemistry, nor mathematics, nor biology with genetics, nor astrophysics are simply unknown. Therefore, evidence based on scientific knowledge is anti-scientific for them.

    There were more problems with the Khazar Khaganate and Kievan Rus than with the Mongols. With the Mongols, it was possible to pay off the tribute.

      The main striking force of the Horde army was heavily armed, armored cavalry. Which dealt a decisive blow if the archers could not put the enemy to flight.

    The Mongols, this is a racket of the Middle Ages. They came, bet on money, and left. There was no assimilation of the local population, they never lived here. When the locals refused to pay, they returned, showed what happens to those who do not pay, and left again.

    People who hold the view that the Mongol-Tatar yoke was given are not arguments, but the opinions of historians.
    The great Anatole France spoke very well about this phenomenon.
    In the novel “Penguin Island”, Anatole France frankly scoffs at the writers of historical treatises:
    “Writing a story is extremely difficult. You probably never know how it all happened, and the more documents, the more difficulties for the historian. When only one single evidence of a fact has been preserved, it is established by us without any hesitation. Indecision arises only in the presence of two or more evidence of an event, since they always contradict one another and cannot be reconciled.
    Of course, the preference of one or another historical evidence to everyone else often rests on a solid scientific basis. But it is never so strong as to resist our passions, our prejudices and our interests or to prevent the manifestations of frivolity inherent in all serious people. That's why we constantly portray events either biased or too loose ...
    - Your Majesty! I told him. “I ask you to help me with your enlightened advice.” I put all my strength into making a story, but nothing works out for me!
    He shrugged his shoulders.
    - Why, darling, so trouble yourself with the compilation of historical work, when you can simply write off the most famous of the available, as is customary? After all, if you express a new point of view, some original idea, if you portray people and circumstances in some unexpected light, you will surprise the reader. And the reader does not like to be surprised. In history, he seeks only nonsense, long since known to him. Trying to teach the reader something, you will only offend and make him angry. Do not try to educate him, he will scream that you insult his beliefs.
    Historians rewrite each other. In this way, they save themselves from unnecessary labor and from accusations of arrogance. Follow their example, do not be original. An original-minded historian causes widespread distrust, contempt, and disgust.
    “Really, sir, do you think,” my interlocutor added, “that I would have achieved such recognition and honor if I had introduced any innovations into my historical books!” Well, what is innovation? Insolence is all! ”

    As one smart person put it, this is painfully reminiscent of the work methods of other professional historians. Their critical opuses directed against dissenters contain nothing but contempt, disgust and “righteous” anger. And in fact: pathetic amateurs with a pig's snout climb into the Kalash row, put unclean fingers into the open wound, sarcastically, giggle and prevent busy people from calmly texting each other.

    The respected author actually sets out Anatoly Fomenko’s version, only even more romanticized. Not only with Russia-Horde, but also with Hyperborea-Horde from the Carpathians to Japan.

    It is clear that this version is still more realistic than the version about the steppe people who suddenly took over half the world. Still, the territory of Rus' is better suited for a base of expansion.

    However, if we think logically, then this version is not very plausible. The main reasons: climate and regional connectivity. The climate did not allow for the accumulation of a sufficient amount of surplus product to capture or even simply peacefully settle such vast territories. And underdeveloped communication routes would not allow the creation of a more or less coherent civilization. Although the Slavs settled large areas, they were not a single people, but many related peoples, often at war with each other (despite their kinship).
    Of course, on our territory there were ancient trade river routes that provided some added value, but Russian civilization also developed along these very routes. And the surrounding spaces were conquered gradually in accordance with scientific and technological progress.
    And there are not so many material monuments that would confirm the existence of Rus'-Horde-Hyperborea.

    But there are a lot of material monuments to the existence of a single empire on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea and adjacent seas. Actually, historians do not deny the existence of the “Roman” Empire, only they attribute it to the deep past and exaggerate the level of its development and centralization. And this was the first supra-feudal Empire and the first civilization. Moreover, both the climate and sea routes of communication made it possible to create such an Empire. Especially if you understand that it was not a centralized state, but rather a confederation, like the current EU.

    So the “Tatars” were most likely “Roman” colonizers, i.e. Crusaders. Batu is really Batu, only not Cossack, but Rimsky. The Golden Horde is the Golden Order.
    This is precisely the version defended by the founder of the New Chronology, Nikolai Morozov. Unfortunately, Anatoly Fomenko and his followers, as often happens with neophyte enthusiasts, turned the entire reconstruction in the wrong direction.
    It is possible, however, that the “Tatars” were not crusaders, but also not Mongols, and not Russian-Horde. And, oddly enough, they were Tatars, i.e. immigrants from the southern regions adjacent to the Black and Caspian Seas, economically connected with the Islamic regions and Central Asia. And this is also much more plausible than the Mongols.
    However, both of these options could coexist. After all, some Turkic peoples also live in the west, and European and Asian conquerors often collaborated even in modern history.
    And the identification of Rus' with Tartary could have happened later, closer to Ivan the Terrible, when the political situation changed and the ties between the Slavic and Turkic states became significantly stronger.

      Albert Maksimov wrote about this. The link here may be removed. Therefore, just type in the search: "Albert Maksimov - The Rus' that Was."
      Briefly his version. The son of Andrei Bogolyubsky, Yuri, who, according to the official version of history, was half (or more) Polovtsian and the husband of the Georgian queen Tamar, did not disappear without a trace, but, relying on the money of Nicaea, managed to recruit mercenaries and was able to subjugate Georgia. Then all of Transcaucasia, then the North Caucasus and Kuban, then the Polovtsians. It was his troops who were on Kalka. Having won a victory, but essentially a Pyrrhic one, Yuri went south. And he returned only 13 years later. Already with a grown-up son. And he actually appeared in the region where his father, Prince Andrei, once ruled. That is, in northeastern Rus'. With a very small army, knowing the roads and speaking Russian, he calmly traveled around Rus' and, approaching one or another city, announced that he was the rightful ruler, the son of the first Russian autocrat Andrei Bogolyubsky. If the city recognized his power, then the city remained intact. Well, if not, then there were options. Even the official version of history cannot hide the fact that in a number of cities, in Vladimir for example, the people did not really want to resist. But the princes are the opposite. These were the children of Vsevolod, who, even according to the official version of history, could have ordered the murder of Andrei Bogolyubsky.

    During the Neolithic revolution, nomads defended their right to eat meat, and therefore did not die by the age of thirty from caries and rickets. Genghis Khan was over seventy, compare this with Pushkin, “an old man of about thirty entered the room.” It is clear that the poet himself was a teenager, but “about thirty” is too much for us in the twentieth - first century. They, the nomads, were stronger in body and mind than the peasant population, and larger in number than the sedentary military elite. In addition, connections with sedentary people allowed them not to run around naked, but to enjoy all the fruits of technical progress.

          In the north of Kazakhstan, according to the maps of the British, the Nogais lived, just above Bulgaria. Kazakhs are not Mongols. People lived with such attributes in those places until the October Revolution. Iron from the 13th century should rot into dust. Stainless steel tips? High-quality iron was mined only in mines, and blast furnaces only appeared in Western Europe at the end of the 15th century. Perhaps these gentlemen from the three burials also bought iron from Europe. Read about swamp ore. In my opinion, they want to “cheat” with the radiocarbon method. I don’t really understand how they realized that these were visiting Mongols, and not locals or merchants.

      Marbot Jean-Baptiste-Antoine-Marcellin
      (1782-1854)
      Memoirs of General Baron de Marbot
      Chapter XXIX
      In the blink of an eye, these vile barbarians, with loud shouts, surrounded our squadrons and pelted them with arrows, which, however, did not bring us much harm, because the Bashkirs, who did not know how to obey any commands, did not know how to line up in ranks, and in the noise and disorder moving like a herd of sheep. Because of this disorder, the Bashkir horsemen could not shoot horizontally without killing or wounding their own comrades who were galloping in front of them. Therefore, the Bashkirs fired their arrows in an arc into the air, and the arrows described a larger or smaller curve, depending on how far away the archers considered the enemy from themselves. However, this method of shooting arrows during a battle does not allow for accurate aiming, so 9/10 of the arrows fall in vain, and the small number that reaches the enemy loses almost all their strength when rising, which is what the bow string imparts to the arrow. Therefore, when an arrow hits a target, it only has the force of its own weight, which is very small, because of this, arrows usually caused only very light wounds. And finally, since the Bashkirs did not have any other weapons, they were the most harmless military unit that exists in the world.
      Nevertheless, they attacked us in droves, and since the more wasps they kill, the more new ones fly in, a certain number of arrows fired into the air still caused some serious injuries. Thus, one of my bravest non-commissioned officers named Meslen was pierced through with an arrow. The arrow entered the chest and came out of the back! The fearless Meslen grabbed this arrow with both hands, broke it and himself tore both fragments of the arrow out of his body. However, this could not save him: he died a few moments later. It seems to me that this was the only example of death from an arrow fired by a Bashkir. However, among my men and horses, many were still slightly injured, and even I myself was harmlessly wounded by these ridiculous weapons.
      I had a saber in my hand. I was giving orders to one of the officers and stretched out my hand to show him the point where he should go, when suddenly I felt that my saber met some strange resistance, at the same time I felt a slight pain in my right thigh. It turned out that there was a 4-foot long arrow sticking out of it, which entered my body a finger deep. In the heat of battle, I did not notice how this arrow hit me. I ordered Dr. Paro to remove this arrow and hide it in one of the drawers of the regimental hospital, because I wanted to keep this arrow as a souvenir. I'm very sorry that she got lost.
      PS There is a Turkish series about Ertuğrul, Osman... This shows the killing power of compound bows in a very realistic way. In many episodes, the film's characters receive 3-5 arrows in the torso. And what ? They break them off and continue to fight. But then they show the process of removing the tips and cauterizing the wounds.

Because stupidity is not so visible at first glance. It is somewhat more difficult to deny the “official” vector algebra, but in other respects it is also possible.

    Quite a working hypothesis. There is no other way to explain the absence of Mongoloid traces in the DNA of Europeans. The appearance of Mongol-Tatars with typically Russian DNA is quite understandable and is confirmed by many sources, which We often do not read carefully. As you know, the Aryans settled from the region between the Volga and the Urals in the direction not only of Europe, but also headed 5600 years ago to Altai, Iran, Pakistan and India, where they gradually turned into Tatars, or Tartars. This is confirmed by numerous DNA studies, both fossils and living populations of these countries, conducted by both Americans and Israelis. I myself once encountered a team of Indians installing solar panels, who, having learned that I was Russian, unanimously declared that I belonged to the Aryans. I didn’t pull their tongue, it was their initiative. By the way, all the kids are about one meter eighty centimeters tall and of European type, only dark-skinned with dark hair. If we assume that the Tatars were formed as a result of this movement, then everything fits together. Deciding to return, for some reason, they staged a Tatar-Mongol invasion, pushing the Volga Bulgars and South Slavs to Europe. An incomprehensible picture is only around the Khazar Kaganate. Where it (the Kaganate) could exist between the Volga Bulgars and the southern Slavs in the Caspian steppes is somehow unclear. Most likely, it was some kind of temporary settlement (transshipment base) of slave traders, robbers and bandits, as many authoritative researchers claim, and not a state entity between the Caspian Sea and Ukraine, including Kyiv. It is unlikely that the Slavs of that time would have allowed such freedom on their territory. We must not forget that the Caspian territories were inhabited by the southern Slavs and Volga Bulgars, who were not at all weak guys, had their own states in Europe and were able to reach Greece, settling in the Carpathians. And the campaign of the Kyiv princes confirms this. Even Kyiv at that time was not satisfied with this hooliganism. The strange thing is that after such a devastating invasion, even Tatar DNA is missing from the Russian DNA, which is somewhat different from the Russian one and is somewhat late. It turns out that typically Russian people were returning. By the way, even in Ermak’s biography, local “little people” are mentioned everywhere with whom he replenished his army, which began with 600 military men and one cannon. Nonsense, for the conquest of Siberia. It is unlikely that he could take into his small detachment people who spoke a different language and a different culture. And how did he manage to get to the Pacific Ocean without the support of the local population? Which confirms the theoretical calculations of the author of this article. By the way, it is in vain that the author dwells on the Far East. Columbus and the Spaniards were surprised at the warm welcome from the local Indians, who worshiped the cult of the white man. Indian legends directly claim that the white gods who built the pyramids left the country, but promised to return. If not for this attitude, it is unlikely that Columbus would have returned alive.

      The Pechenegs were slaughtered by Byzantium in alliance with the Polovtsians. In the fight against the Polovtsy, Kyiv exposed other princes to attack by refusing support. Just like today, playing the game of a separatist, and not fulfilling the role of the capital of the unifier of lands. As a result, the Polovtsians were defeated by the Tatar-Mongols, if you can call them that. In fact, and apparently, they were called Mongols not by genotype, but by territorial place of residence, or formation of troops. The original Kazakhs and Mongols both lived and still live in their nomadic territories. Did they, at that time, have those famous bows that ensured victory in many battles? It is not people with the haplotype of the Mongols or Kazakhs who are buried in the mounds, but somewhat different ones.

    Quote: Ulan.1812
    And let's not count this bullshit.
    Firstly, Siberian horse breeds feel quite comfortable in Europe.

    Let's see how Ulan.1812 distorts. For example, I (based on the opinion of the respected Przhevalsky) spoke about the Mongolian breed of horses. And Ulan.1812, professionally and gracefully, instead of the Mongolian horse breed, suddenly began to write Siberian horse breeds. What did he say about that? that he did not dive into the topic. Because if he had dived even a little, Ulan.1812 would have known that there is a difference even between the Mongolian and Tuvan horse breeds. Small, but there. But there is a significant difference between the Mongolian breed and the Yakut breed.
    Quote: Ulan.1812
    Let me remind you that the same Mongolia during the Second World War delivered hundreds of thousands of horses to the Red Army. In your opinion, they immediately had to die from unusual conditions.

    This is true. But not like that either. Yes, Mongolia supplied the USSR with about half a million horses during the Great Patriotic War. Alas, I cannot confirm anything, because the information was obtained a long time ago from my personal communication with one already very elderly chief sanitary doctor (I will not name which department) and did not appear on the Internet, but the information deserves 100% trust. The fact is that Mongolia at that time was a country with a very unsatisfactory situation in terms of epizootics.
    Read something from this series.

    Therefore, the Veterinary Service of the Red Army was not at all delighted with the fact that hundreds of thousands of horses, potential carriers of a bunch of dangerous diseases, would appear at the front. Therefore, the bulk of the horses transferred by Mongolia were left in Buryatia, Yakutia, and so on. And already vaccinated Yakut, Buryat and other horses went to the front. However, a number of horses from Mongolia, for which there was no doubt that they had been vaccinated, certainly ended up at the front. But these were not purebred horses, but mestizos, already capable of ambling.
    Quote: Ulan.1812
    Secondly, who told you that the Mongols walked in one continuous column?
    Maybe stop making idiots out of them? They were preparing, dividing the army into parts in several directions and uniting for battles and the capture of large cities.

    Well, don't do that. Don't force peaceful Mongolian herders to "conquer the whole world" back in the 13th century. Here's a question for you. How many roads do you think went, for example, from Moscow to Vladimir in the 14th-16th centuries? One road? Two roads? Three roads? Ten roads?
    Here https://topwar.ru/135476-kak-ordyncy-shturmovali-vladimir.html
    Samsonov himself wrote (well, he didn’t write it himself, but inserted pieces of text copied from somewhere) that:
    Having set Moscow and its environs on fire (“and the villages were burned”), Batu’s troops moved towards Vladimir. Apparently, they again went first along the ice of the Moscow River to the north, and then, passing a forested watershed, they went to Klyazma. Along Klyazma there was a direct road to the capital of the Vladimir principality. The Horde moved along the ice of the rivers.
    Excuse me, do you (together with the author) think that the Klyazma is one river or several? And further. Are you generally aware that even today the Mongols in Mongolia, in order to cross a river on a horse, dismount, dig sand or earth, make an earthen or sandy path on the ice, if possible perpendicular to the banks, and only then carefully transfer the horse to another take care In principle, Mongols do not move on the ice of rivers. For according to beliefs, the Water Dragon lives in rivers. Who, God forbid, gets angry. And this Dragon is much more terrible than the local khan. Since a khan can kill a Mongol only once, but the Water Dragon can torment the soul of a Mongol for 10 thousand years.
    Quote: Ulan.1812
    They practiced all this on hunts.
    On what hunts? What are you about ? Here I cited the evidence of the Cossack pioneers and the explorer of Central Asia Koltsov that the Mongols did not remember anything about those cities whose ruins the Cossacks and Koltsov saw. Can you give an example of even describing in your memoirs a Mongol hunt of more than 100 people?

    Quote: Ulan.1812
    No one has accepted the numbers 300 thousand or 400 for a long time.

    You see, this term “no one accepts” is purely subjective. Well, how is it that they used to accept it, but now they say “they don’t accept it”? What's happened ? Maybe you have discovered some authentic documents that provide data on the size of the “Mongol army”? No, nothing new has been discovered in the last 200 years. So on what basis did you decide to reduce the number? They just took it and decided that: “There wasn’t that much”? How much do you think “was”. Only evidentially, and not “So the historians sat down in a row, looked at the ceiling, scratched their heads and decided that there were significantly fewer Mongols.”
    Quote: Ulan.1812
    So you initially laying the wrong data, make the wrong conclusions.

    Well, who actually provided the incorrect data?
    And at least I pawned something.
    But you haven’t pledged anything!!! You didn't provide any information!!!!
    You have no data on the population of Mongolia, not only then, but even in the 17th century.
    You have no data on the size of the notorious “great Mongol army” at all.
    But literally by day you “know exactly” when “the Mongols took this or that city”, you know the names of all the khans, you know who whose son was, with whom he was friends and with whom he was at enmity, and you also “know exactly” hundreds of the smallest details.
    But you don't know the main thing.

    Identification of present-day Mongolia and the Khalkha Mongols with the empire of Genghis and other bullshit. The Arabs could, the Macedonian could... reached as far as India, the Huns could, Tamerlane could, the Ottomans could, and only the Horde could not.

    Arabs? So, did the Arabs march in armies of hundreds of thousands or was it just a new religion spreading?
    Macedonian?? Huns? Are you trying to confirm one fairy tale with other fairy tales?
    Tamerlane fought without moving far from the borders of his own state. Only once did he make a “long hike,” so to speak, all the way to Yelets, moving more than 1500 km from his borders.

    About historians. Today's historians are certified amateurs who have no knowledge in any of the real professions, who have memorized fiction books on historical topics written by even greater amateurs (since they did not have a diploma in historical education) 200-400 years ago. Smart people have long understood what our Quality History is. And I humbly add my quiet voice to them.

    6) "Those who make history often at the same time falsify it."
    V. Brudzinsky
    7) "No one has changed the history of mankind like historians."

    Aldous Huxley
    10) "Everything is in the hands of the Lord, and only History has slipped out of His control."

    Quote: kalibr
    Everything was rewritten by Vatican agents
    Not rewritten. Simply created. And it is distributed all over the world.
    World history was created on the basis of many circumstances. For example.
    1. First of all, of the religious. There was a Bible. It contains the Old Testament. The Old Testament contains the prophecy of the Prophet Daniel about four successive kingdoms. What does this mean? So these kingdoms need to find a place in History.
    Jews fled Egypt? So you need to find a place in History and Egypt and the Jews.
    2. Legal and economic factor. As soon as society realized that there could be not only the common, but also “MY”, that is, that there could be private property, then disputes immediately began about who owns something tasty from private property (a half-gnawed mammoth bone, a spear, or bow, boat, hut, house, palace, field, village with inhabitants, city, etc.). And in these disputes for many centuries, the only proof of correctness (well, with the exception of a punch in the face) was the presentation of any “evidence” that the ancestor of one disputant owned this something earlier than the ancestor of the other disputant. This simply caused a flurry of production of ancient “documents”, indicating that such or such an “ancient ruler” presented the disputed ancestor of one of the disputants. Or he didn’t necessarily give it as a gift, but was passing through and was received by the ancestor of one debater, and not the other. Or exempted from taxes. In general, all kinds of “ancient documents” were produced en masse and all kinds of “ancient kings and emperors” were put into circulation. Which all they did was visit someone and exempt them from taxes :)
    3. Political factors. And this is closer to ours. So the good Catholic Poles wanted to spoil their eastern neighbor and wrote some crap - then why shouldn’t the Vatican support this crap with its authority. And no special orders are needed. In an extreme case, oral advice could have been given to some bishop sent to episcopacy in Poland, saying, look for some greyhound writer there, and let him invent something nasty about these Moscow schismatics. Otherwise, for some reason they don’t want to become good Catholics.
    The Vatican does not like the fact that the Turkish Sultan sends the popes on an erotic journey and beats the crusader troops, which means that the Ottoman Empire will receive its portion of dirt.
    4. Further, it is closer to the present. By the end of the 19th century, their historical plots, from which they harvested cabbage, ceased to be enough for feeding the bred historians, they introduced a new plot - the Hittites. Without which, history until the end of the 19th century did well. The "Sumerians" also appeared. Now "ancient Ukrainians" are being introduced into scientific circulation. ...
    About distribution.
    The Jesuits carried out the most important mission - disseminating the Vatican version of history throughout the world. And not only the Jesuits, but also a lot of monks of other orders. For example, not only the well-known Dominicans, but also the now little-known Cistercians. But in the 80th century, the General Chapter of the Cistercian Order obliged all monastic abbeys, numbering more than 40 monks, to found schools at the monasteries. All abbeys with more than 1770 monks were required to send at least two people to study at the University of Paris. Many Cistercian abbeys had the best libraries for their time - the Clairvaux library contained 2000 manuscripts in the XNUMXth century, and the library of Himmerod Abbey about XNUMX
    All these fighters of the Vatican’s ideological front understood that it was after the people were indoctrinated with the Vatican’s version of history that it would be easier for them to fulfill the most important mission - to spread Christianity.
    You can see anything and anyone. But those whose minds have been captured by the Vatican version of history, even if they find the remains of a monkey, will still claim that “the remains of the Mongols” have been found.

      Well, here you are, my friend, going a little too far. If history was created from scratch, then there was no need, for example, to rely on the Bible - it could also be written from scratch, and all the rough edges would be immediately removed. And why, for example, was it necessary to invent the acts of the biblical kings from scratch, who did this, this is just redundant information...

      In fact, the Bible most likely contains genuine information about the origins of civilization. Not in Palestine, but in the Roman Empire. The biblical kings are the first Roman Caesars.

    The main striking force of the Horde army was heavily armed, armored cavalry. Which dealt a decisive blow if the archers could not put the enemy to flight.

    MONGOLIAN HORSE, a local steppe horse of ancient origin, bred in the Mongolia. Small in stature (height at withers about 130 cm), with well-developed muscles, strong legs, thick hair. It is hardy, moves well on the sands of dry steppes and semi-deserts, easily climbs hills, tolerates severe frosts, and is adapted to year-round herd keeping on pasture.
    In M. l. fast step, free gallop, trot is not developed. The most common colors are gray and bay. Used M. l. under saddle, pack and in harness, as well as as a meat and dairy animal (kumys is prepared from milk). Durable, remains operational for up to 18 years or more. Lit.: Book about the horse, ed. S. M. Budyonny, vol. 1, M., 1952.

    Now from the Federal State Budgetary Institution "All-Russian Research Institute of Horse Breeding" and other horse breeding sources.

    Akhal-Teke
    Akhal-Teke horses are quite tall (height at the withers is on average 159-160 cm), narrow-bodied horses. The head is light, dry, with an elongated and thinned facial part, long thin ears and a special, “Tekin” eye shape. The neck is long, with a high outlet, vertically set. High withers, long back, deep chest, lean belly, thin legs with well-developed tendons.
    Weight: stallions up to 600 kg; mares 400-500 kg.

    European breeds

    Vladimir breed. Average measurements for stallions are 167,2-175, and for mares - 166,1-175,3. weight of stallions – up to 750 kg, mares – 580 kg.

    Mongolian breed weight: 270–350 kg.

    The growth of a Mongolian.
    Over the past 100 years, the French have become taller by 8 cm, the Swedes - by 15 cm, the Iranians - by 17 cm. The South Koreans have surpassed everyone and grown by as much as 20 cm. The Netherlands has overtaken America and generally become the tallest nation in the world: the average height of the Dutch is 185 cm. In Russia, on average, they grew by 10 cm. The Americans used to be the tallest: before the start of World War II, their average height was 177 cm, but by the end of the XNUMXth century it had stagnated.

    Now the tallest men and women live in the Netherlands, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia, Denmark, the Czech Republic and Serbia. The shortest are the residents of Timor-Leste (their height is 160 cm) and Guatemalan women (their height is 149 cm).

    I believe that a Mongolian can be easily correlated with a South Korean. Well, okay, if we consider that the Mongols have grown by at least 100 cm in 15 years, it means that the height of a Mongol “in ancient times” was 30-40 cm lower than the height of a Slav (Turkmen, European).
    Well, what do we have?
    We have people with a height of about 130-140 cm, who, on horses corresponding to their height, with a height of 125-130 cm, weighing about 300 kg, who, putting on armor, gallop at a free gallop towards the European or Turkmen cavalry. That is, they gallop at riders who themselves are 30-40 cm taller than the Mongols (and heavier), and who at the same time sit on horses 159-175 cm high and weighing from 400 to 750 kg.
    Excuse me, isn’t it funny for you to imagine such a picture?

      A fine in the late medieval Mongolian legal tradition was designated by the term “anz” / “anzu”, i.e. a fine with cattle. “Unit” of a fine in Mongolian law Nine” or “five” is a common “unit of fine” in late medieval Mongolian legislation, the composition of which is given in Art. 2–3 Codes.

      Quite well reasoned. If the Mongols organized a campaign to the West, then where did they get the organization of the army based on tens (squad), hundreds (company), thousands (regiment), ten thousand (division). By the way, the system is adopted practically unchanged in all modern armies of the world. Good question? And the horses are clearly too weak for such a large-scale campaign, especially for use as cavalry. Somehow everything doesn’t fit together if you put the picture together into a single whole. Archaeologists have been digging the old, destroyed settlement of Ryazan for decades. Surely somewhere nearby there are mass graves of fallen “Tatar-Mongol” soldiers. We are waiting for the results of the DNA examination. As the Germans did at the site of an ancient battle. It will be very educational for the science called history. It's strange that they haven't done this yet. Probably some people really don’t want to ruin their career and reputation as a great learned historian and archaeologist, or they are too lazy to rewrite it, or somehow the Khazar Kaganate, in today’s edition, does not fit into the real version.
