The Mongols in Russia (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Mongols in Russia

The Mongols retreated from all lands west of the Carpathians and confined themselves exclusively to that part Of Europe which we know as Russia. The West was too narrow for them, too mountainous, too much diversified, and contained too little pastoral land. It had too much culture, and differed too greatly from that immense open region which stretches from the Dnieper, or more correctly from the Danube, to that vast ocean of water which was later called the Pacific.
