1396 CE to 1539 CE
The Mongols' influence and their intermarriage with the Russian aristocracy has a lasting effect on Russia.
Despite the destruction caused by their invasion, the Mongols have made valuable contributions to administrative practices.
Through their presence, which in some ways had checked the influence of European Renaissance ideas in Russia, they have helped reemphasize traditional ways.
This Mongol—or Tatar as it becomes known—heritage has much to do with Russia's distinctiveness from the other nations of Europe.
