It demonstrated the developing independence of the Russian lands from Mongol rule (which had been imposed in 1240) and was a giant step for the Duchy of Moscow in its rise to leadership of the Russian people.

In 1980 the USSR went out of its way to commemorate the Battle of Kulikovo, with exhibitions, art competitions and a big budget movie called (I think) "On the Sacred Field of Kulikovo". I saw the movie once, but it seems to have disappeared. It recounted the epic battle, and the final scene was striking for a movie made under communism. It showed three Russian Knights (I think one was Donskoi) at the head of an army gazing eastwards....and then the scene segued into the present day, with the same characters wearing Soviet Tankers uniforms standing on top of an armoured vehicle before squadrons of Soviet tanks...and a narrator solemnly intoning "The Russian soldier, then as now...eternal guardian of civilisation..."

Every city could provide military contingent of 50-300 mounted warriors - these were the regiments, composing Dmitrii's army. By the way, italian sources say that Mamai hired approx 150 men total in all italian crimean colonies that summer.

In all historical sources, we are talking about a state that is referred to as the Kipchak Khanate and whose language, army, culture, population, in short, is Turkish in all aspects. Therefore, it seems very illogical to describe this state as Mongol. It comes not from Genghis Khan but from a Turkish clan who kidnapped his wife, so the ruling class is also Turkish.In the first establishment of this state, it has nothing to do with the Mongols or with the Mongol history, except that it was affiliated with the Mongol Empire.To regard this state as a Mongol is as absurd as calling every state dependent on the Abbasids during its establishment period an Arab state. The Golden Horde and his descendants were of Turkish origin not ethnic Chinggissid. There is some question as to Jochi's true paternity. Shortly after Börte's marriage to Genghis Khan (known as Temüjin at the time), she was abducted by members of the Mergidconfederation. She was given to a certain Chilger Bökh, who was the brother of the Yehe Chiledu, as a spoil of war. She remained in Chilger Bökh's captivity for a few months before she was recovered by Temüjin. Shortly afterwards she gave birth to Jochi. By all accounts, Genghis Khan treated Jochi as his first son, but a doubt always remained[whose?]whether Temüjin or Chilger Bökh was his real father. Jochi's descendants, although they formed the oldest branch of Genghis Khan's family, were never considered for the succession in claiming their father's heritage and there were signs of estrangement between Jochi and Genghis Khan. Although the Secret History ignores Börte's pregnancy when recounting her dramatic rescue, it later describes Jochi as a “Merkit b?stard. Jochi means Guest in Mongolian which confirming his non-chingissid origin. In the course of the wars by which he won a hegemony over the Mongols,he was for a while a captive in the hands of the Tayichiut tribe, and his wife Börke,whom he married when he was seventeen , was held prisoner for some months by the Merkit Turks of Lake Baikal ; the legitimacy of her eldest son,Juji,who was born during his captivity,was always therefore suspect. www.cambridge.org/tr/academic/subjects/history/european-history-1000-1450/history-crusades-volume-3?format=PB&isbn=9780521347723 (pp. 238-240) Ulus Juchi [Golden Horde or Kipchak Khanate] www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780195390155/obo-9780195390155-0119.xml Ilkhanate in Persia, the Kipchak Khanate or Golden Horde academicworks.cuny.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1052&context=lg_pubs Khan's eldest son Jochi came into possession of the Khanate of Kipchak or the Golden Horde extra.shu.ac.uk/emls/journal/index.php/emls/article/download/84/114 Golden Horde” (actually the Kipchak Khanate, or at the time of its founding Ulus of Jochi research-repository.st-andrews.ac.uk/bitstream/10023/5149/6/ChristopherMottPhDThesis.pdf liberated themselves from the Kipchak Khanate, anachronistically known as the Golden Horde academiccommons.columbia.edu/doi/10.7916/D86D61Q4/download Others joined the khanate of the Golden Horde (also called the Western Kipchaks), which was organized on the former Cuman territory in Russia. encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Cumans He maintained close diplomatic ties with the Kipchak Khanate (also known as the Golden Horde), which controlled Crimea from the late thirteenth century to the mid fifteenth century, and commissioned the building of this mosque in Solhat (as Eski Krym was then known). beautifulspaces.omeka.fas.harvard.edu/item/661?collection=19 In 1235, the Golden Horde (Khanate of Kipchak) was founded when Batu www.springerprofessional.de/en/dynastic-cycles-and-nomadic-conquests-further-evidence-from-chin/16951782 Also known as the Kipchak Khanate or the Ulus ‘Realm’ of Jochi (c.1181-1227), the eldest of Genghis Khan... ... www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780191882913.001.0001/acref-9780191882913-e-9934?rskey=WFiysi&result=7 Jochi, established a state often known as the Golden Horde or the Kipchak khanate. www.oxfordreference.com/view/10.1093/acref/9780190622718.001.0001/acref-9780190622718-e-483?rskey=EhEmDR&result=12 It is also known as the Kipchak Khanate or as the Ulus of Jochi. thereaderwiki.com/en/Golden_horde ital of his Khanate of Kipchak, best known to history as the Gold- en Horde apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/ADA233772.pdf Jochid or Kipchak Khanate in the Pontic-Caspian Steppes, known as www.worldcat.org/title/mongol-empire-a-historical-encyclopedia/oclc/962752105 Batu founded the Khanate of.

Yes, they are nationally and culturally more Turkic, but they were partially genghishid, and steppe cultures of turkic, mongolic and even indo-european nomads were pretty same, and they probably did not mentioned nationalty at same importance as we mention now. For example Kazakh people (turkic) have some ~tribes of indo-iranian probably (saks) and mongolic (naimans) ancestry, so they all (aspecially in 14th century) are mixed up.

Russians - ethnically consisted at that time and consist up to this day of three major groups - Rus druzhina of mostly viking origins (later many of them became Cossacks and later transferred to Don from Zaporozhie), Slavic-polish part 60-70percent - whom druzhina defended, and small hunter-gatherer ugro-Finnish-tatar (not Crimea tatars, not mongols) parts. All of them became Russians even before 18th century.

Oh theres even more stuff to this battle. Acording to legend the russians and mongals challenge each other to a duel both believing they would win and show their troops they had divine favor. The Mongols sent a warrior, the Russians sent a warrior monk, it was cool, they fought, killed each other. Theres this series called the Winternight books about this era thats pretty neat if your allright with some magic shenanigans in your historical fiction.

[@AlexC-ou4ju]

why did Mamai not try to deal with tokhtamish first if he was going to attempt that with depleted forces later anyway? Also what happened to his allies?

[@siprus]

Not necessary something we can know since there might not be historical source, but very likely a show of force would have increased his standing in mongol's internal politics making other mongols more likely to follow himself instead of tokhtamish. Tokthamishes' rise probably was tied to Mamai's poor handling of Rus princes. Also the Russians probably were seen as easier foe to defeat and the plunder and tribute from russia could be used to fund bigger army.

[@РоманМаршанин-к6з]

Mamai had a problem, he wasn't direct royal descent of Genghis Khan, he was just competent tribal warlord struggling for power. Just like Amir Timur once was. Tokhtamysh, however was the Genghisid and had rights to be the ruler. So, for tributary states and for Horde's aristocracy Mamai was an usurper. But he desperately needed tributes from all Golden Horde neighbouring tributary states to fuel his military and political campaign in Hordes internal struggle. Moscow wasn't biggest principality, but it was designated by mongol rulers as the local "tax collector". While Horde was in turmoil, Moscow had accumulated tributes from neighbours for years already. Year later Dmitry refused to pay tributes to legal Horde ruler Khan Tokhtamysh. So Horde's army sacked and burned Moscow in retaliation strke.

[@Poctyk]

[@Тенистыйсад]

Thanks for the video, in general terms this is how we were given information at school. And as has already been noted here, Mamai was a rebel. Therefore, it was possible and necessary to fight against him. His claims to power over the Golden Horde and the Russian principalities made the latter allies, as has happened more than once and will be in the future. As a result of the battle, both armies were drained of blood. Victory remained with Dmitry's troops. What is surprising is that the tactics of the Russians with ambush regiments were already known to Batu’s troops during the ruin of the Russian principalities. The first thing the Horde did was neutralize the ambush regiments, for example during the battle on the Vozha River. It’s strange that Mamai didn’t bother about this. While in Crimea. Mamai could hire the Genoese, but it is unlikely that they played a significant role. Although there is even a legend that the Battle of Kulikovo was a clash between Orthodox and Catholics☦🔥✝ (just a legend). The appearance of the real Genghisid Tokhtamysh restored the power of the Golden Horde over the provinces. Dmitry Donskoy did not dare to resist Tokhtamysh. But Tokhtamysh was unlucky. He happened to live during the time of Tamerlane! And in a hundred years, resistance to the Golden Horde of the Moscow Principality will reach a new level. Two hundred years after the Battle of Kulikovo, the Moscow Principality will begin to take back the fragments of the Golden Horde. Спасибо за видео, В общих чертах так нам в школе и давали информацию. И как уже здесь отмечали, Мамай был мятежник. Поэтому против него можно и нужно было сражаться. Его притязания на власть над Золотой ордой и русскими княжествами сделали последних союзниками, как уже не раз бывало и будет в дальнейшем. По итогам битвы обескровлены были обе армии. Победа осталась за войсками Дмитрия. Удивительно то, что о тактике русских с засадными полками было известно ещё войскам Батыя при разорении русских княжеств. Первым делом ордынцы нейтрализовали именно засадные полки, например при сражении на реке Воже. Странно, что Мамай не озаботился об этом. Находясь в Крыму. Мамай мог нанять генуезцев, но вряд ли они играли значительную роль. Хотя есть даже легенда, что Куликовская битва была столкновением между православными и католиками☦🔥✝(всего лишь легенда). Появление же настоящего чингизида Тохтамыша вернуло власть Золотой Орды над провинциями. Дмитрий Донской не посмел сопротивляться Тохтамышу. Но Тохтамышу не повезло. Его угораздило жить во времена Тамерлана! А через сто лет сопротивление Золотой орде Московского княжества выйдет на новый уровень. Спустя двести лет после Куликовской битвы Московское княжество начнёт забирать себе осколки Золотой Орды.
