Moreover, by leaving in ruin and disarray the cities of the Kievan Rus alliance, the Mongols paved the way for the distinct nation states that would come of these regions.

Likewise, by holding under its sway the Russian expanse during the Renaissance Era in Europe, Mongolian rule may be an explanation for the absence of any such period in pre-Soviet history. The distinction of this warrior empire from the feudalist trappings of Western Europe detained Russian modernity relative to its continental neighbors in a way that may be said to have largely forged the lesser economic fortunes and slower pace of cultural development experienced by Slavic Europeans.
