to be fair, Moscow prospered by being mostly untouched by the Mongols, before that was just an small town
Normally I say that the Mongols were mostly exceptionally successful rather than terrible, and that pre-modern warfare is just horrific in general.
... but springing Moscow to prominence? That's something horrible the Mongols really do need to answer for, smh
Well yeah they immediately saw the value in being toadies for the Huns and pretty much based all of their statecraft accordingly.
