Russian Horde
A still from the film "Wicked City"
Historical myth
During my school years I read it more than once and with great pleasure. historical Vasily Yan's novels: "Lights on the Mounds" and the "Mongol Invasion" trilogy. I rooted for the characters and hated the Mongol invaders.
Later, as the facts accumulated, I realized that this was just another historical myth, distorting the true history of Rus' and Russia and humanity. There were no Mongoloid Mongols (representatives of the yellow race) in Rus'. There were battles and destroyed cities, but no Mongols from Mongolia.
Unfortunately, this myth, created in the Vatican and developed by the Germano-Roman historical school, which became “classical” (academic) in the Romanov Empire, has become the ultimate truth in Russia.
This is also demonstrated in historical-patriotic films like "The Legend of Kolovrat" (2017) and "The Evil City" (2025). It's good that the memory of Russian warrior knights and Russian fortitude remains. The bad news is that the films depict traditional "Mongols from Mongolia."
The information war waged against Russian civilization is largely based on the distortion of history. History is written by the victors.
"Mongols from Mongolia"
As has already been noted many times ("The myth of the" Mongols from Mongolia in Russia "is the most ambitious and monstrous provocation of the Vatican and the West as a whole against Russia"), there were no Mongols in Rus' in the 13th-15th centuries. They simply weren't there physically. Mongols are Mongoloids, representatives of the Mongoloid (yellow) race. Characteristic features of Mongoloids include straight black hair, epicanthus (the fold of the upper eyelid), prominent cheekbones, and a flattened face.
No Mongoloid skulls were found in the Ryazan, Vladimir-Suzdal, or Kyiv lands, where the main battles between the Christian Rus and the "pagans" took place. There were no signs of Mongoloidity among the local population either. Although they should have been present, given that the child of a Mongol father and a European woman would be Mongoloid.
In the West and in today's nationalist Ukraine, it is common to consider Russians to be the descendants of Mongols and Finno-Ugrics. However, genetic studies show that Russians have no Mongol admixture. And the Kazan Tatars, Volgars-Bulgars, are typical Caucasians, like the Rus-Russians.
Valery Pavlovich Alekseev (1929–1991), an academic, Soviet anthropologist, historian, archaeologist, and specialist in historical anthropology and the geography of human races, writes about the absence of Mongoloid skulls at battlefields during Batu Khan's invasion in his book "In Search of Ancestors." All serious archaeologists studying this issue are aware of this. No Mongols have been found in the ruins of Ryazan, Moscow, Vladimir, or Kyiv. Yet the battles were bloody, with many thousands killed.
There were no Mongols in Rus' during the "Tatar-Mongol" invasion and yoke. If there had been numerous tumens-tem's (10-strong cavalry corps), supposedly originating from Mongolia and depicted in novels and films, then anthropological Mongoloid material would certainly have remained in the Russian land. Just as Mongoloid traits would inevitably have remained in the local population. Because Mongoloidity (like Negroidness) is dominant, overwhelming. It would have been enough for thousands of Mongols to rape Russian women for Russian burial grounds to be filled with Mongoloid Russians for generations to come. But the Russian burial grounds and cemeteries from the time of the Horde contain Caucasians.
Mongoloidity appeared in Rus' only in the 16th and 17th centuries, along with the Tatar servicemen, who, originally Caucasian, acquired it on the southeastern borders of the new Russo-Tatar Horde, united by Ivan the Terrible. Tatars and Cossacks married local Mongoloid women. The children were Russian. Unlike their European colonizers, the Russians never had any racism.
Information war
Another fact that completely buries the myth of a "Mongol" invasion is the human resources and level of material development of Mongolia in the 13th century. Mongolia of that time simply could not field hundreds of thousands of fighters and arm them. It could not field the well-organized, disciplined, and combat-ready tumens (toma-tumens) that conquered China, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Rus', Persia, and so on. It could not create a global empire.
This is absolute nonsense. The real Mongols at that time were at the level of development of North American Indian tribes—hunter-gatherers, and partly herders. They couldn't have conquered half the world. They lacked both the manpower and the material resources.
It's enough to recall other world empires. Alexander the Great – the financial and material base created by his father Philip. Plus a revolution in military affairs – the Macedonian phalanx. The Roman Empire – the might of its economy and legions. The British Empire – the "workshop of the world" (the leading global economy), mistress of the seas, control of key maritime communications and rich colonies. The Second and Third Reichs – a powerful economy, the dark genius of the Teutonic Order. The United States – the world's leading economy, the dollar system (financial control), technology, and information.
Without an appropriate level of spiritual and material culture, an empire cannot be created. Roughly speaking, if today's blacks in Somalia, Uganda, and Congo were given millions of machine guns, hundreds of armored vehicles, and tanks, they won't create a great power. They'll continue to slaughter each other in intertribal and religious conflicts. Which is what's happening now.
Wandering Christian monks and missionaries (also serving as Vatican spies), who infiltrated as far as China during that era and established a corresponding network of agents, wrote reports to Rome, incorporating local rumors and folklore. From such reports, the "history of the great Mongols" was compiled, and returned to the East as an incontrovertible truth (like everything Western since the Romanovs).
Thus was born the great myth of the mighty Mongols; novels, paintings, and films were written. Textbooks and encyclopedias described how the Mongols, riding their shaggy horses, crossed frozen rivers in Rus' and then came to Europe. Only in Russian chronicles and European chronicles, for some reason, were the "Mongols" depicted as Russian warriors, boyars, Cossacks, and streltsy.
Golden Horde-Rod
We must forget about the Mongols from Mongolia. They didn't exist. But who did? The vast forest-steppe expanses from the Northern Black Sea region through the Southern Urals to the Altai, the Sayan Mountains, and Mongolia itself—the lands that were somehow given to the "Mongols" (who arrived later)—had long belonged to the so-called "Scythian-Siberian world."
Long before the last wave of Aryan Indo-Europeans (Rus-Yari), who left the southern Russian steppes for Persia and India in the 2nd millennium BC, the Indo-Europeans had settled the forest-steppe zone from the Carpathians to the Sayan Mountains, and even reached China. They led a semi-nomadic lifestyle, traveling on oxen harnessed to carts and cultivating the land. They also used horses, domesticated in the southern Russian steppes. Throughout the area of the "Scythian-Siberian world" (legendary Hyperborea-Aria, Great Scythia, Great Tartary), numerous burial mounds containing carts and rich utensils remain. weapons. An entire world-civilization. With roots stretching back thousands of years. A rich spiritual and material culture.
These were the Hyperboreans, the Aryans, the Scythians and Tauro-Scythians, and the later Rus-Rusichi (as their direct descendants and bearers of tradition) who reigned supreme in Northern Eurasia. Across the vast expanse from the Carpathians and Crimea to Inner Mongolia, Khakassia, the Minusinsk Basin and Northern China, burial grounds of Caucasians are found.
The local Mongoloids, who were at the Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) level of development, simply couldn't compete with the Scythians (Rus). But they adopted their productive culture (the wheel, agriculture, iron production, etc.) and spiritual culture from them, from horsemanship to the entire civilization.
Therefore, experts and ordinary people alike can easily see echoes of the great northern tradition-civilization in modern China, Korea, Japan, or India. For example, ancestor worship, warrior worship (the way of the warrior), or wooden architecture. Traditions that were virtually eradicated in Russia itself have survived there.
In southern and eastern countries, memories of tall, light-eyed, and fair-haired Caucasians, gods and demigods, and heroes, have been preserved. Hence the tradition that light skin signifies belonging to the highest caste. Hence the blond (red-haired) and green-eyed Genghis Khan. The military elite, the nobility, and the warriors of Mongolia and China were Caucasian.
Only the mighty clans of the Scytho-Siberian world were the only military force capable of conquering half the world. The word "Mongols," originally "Moghuls," derives from the Russian word "mog" (mozh, mozh) meaning "muzh, husband, mighty, powerful, powerful." It was this meaning of "mighty" that later led to the etymology of the word "Moghuls" as "great."
It was part of these Siberian Scythian-Scythian clans that came to Rus'. Anthropologically and genetically, the late Scythians were as much Rus' as the Rus'ichi who lived in the Ryazan, Vladimir-Suzdal, Chernigov, and Kyiv lands. Outwardly, they could differ in their style of clothing (the Scythian animal style), their dialect of the Russian language (like today's Great Russians and Ukrainian Russians), and the fact that they were pagans. Although in a significant part of northern and eastern Rus', the majority of the population adhered to dual faith, while formally Christian, they essentially preserved the old faith. The fusion of the ancient Russian faith and Christianity into Orthodoxy ("Slavie Prav-Pravda") was not yet complete.
The word "Horde" itself is a European-style corruption of the Russian words "Rod" and "Rada." The tsars and princes of the Horde-Rod called themselves khans. But in Kievan Rus', princes also often called themselves khagans-kogans. The word "kogan-kohan," or shortened "khaan-khan," has nothing in common with Mongolian languages. It is a Russian word meaning "chosen, beloved." In Southern Russia (Little Russia), this word was preserved as "kokhany" = "chosen one, beloved."
And the fact that Rus' clashed with Rus' is a common occurrence in history. It's enough to recall how Oleg the Prophet and Yaroslav the Wise took Kyiv. How the sons of Vladimir the Saint and Yaroslav fought for power. How the Russian lands, led by Ryazan, Novgorod, Moscow, Tver, and so on, fought among themselves. How many times the two great Russian powers—Moscow Rus' and Lithuanian Rus'—warred. And now, in its fourth year, the war between the two Russian powers—Russia and Ukraine—is raging.
The Golden Family of Genghis Khan-Temuchin won from the Rurikovichs the right to rule over the large ethno-cultural-linguistic core of the Rus super-ethnos. When the war ended, the Rus'-Scythians of the Horde-Rada quickly found common ground with the princes and boyars of Vladimir, Moscow, and Tver. They fraternized, became related, and married off their daughters to both sides.
The pagan Rus', who created a vast empire, were religiously tolerant until the Horde's adoption of Islam. Only after Islamization and Arabization, when the pagan portion of the Golden Horde's elite was exterminated, did an ideological confrontation begin between the Horde and Rus', dividing them into "foreigners" and "friends." After this, many Horde-Tatar clans migrated under the rule of Russian princes.
As a result, the confrontation ended with the fact that Ivan the Terrible restored the ethnocultural and linguistic space of the Russian Horde, annexing the Volga region and Siberia.
