The Golden Horde: Mongol Rule in Russia (13th-15th centuries)

Listen to this episode from Sleep With History on Spotify. As dusk falls gently over the vast steppes of Eurasia, we travel back to the time of the Golden Horde, where the whispers of the past blend seamlessly with the rustle of dry grass underfoot. In these quiet moments, we explore the immense kaleidoscope woven by Batu Khan’s empire, stretching from the cradle of Eastern Europe to the heart of Russia, a landscape shaped by conquest yet bridged by cultural exchange. Through the soft hum of the ancient Silk Road, we witness the mingling of distant worlds, as ideas and goods traverse the intricate web of old trade routes. Let the echoes of this grand era lull you into a night of contemplation and tranquil dreams, as we unravel the complexities of a realm both formidable and enlightening.
