The Mongol rule in Russia, often referred to as the Mongol Yoke, lasted for approximately 200 years, beginning in the early 13th century after the Mongol invasion led by Genghis Khan's descendants. The most significant period of control began around 1240, following the Mongol conquest of Kievan Rus’. This dominance effectively ended in the late 15th century, with the rise of the Grand Duchy of Moscow and the defeat of the Mongols at the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480.
