About This Novel
The Golden Horde (also known as the Kipchak Khanate) is one of the four great khanates in Mongolia. It was established by Genghis Khan's eldest son Jochi and his son Batu through an expedition to the southern Russian grasslands. The areas it rules mainly include Central Asia, the middle and lower reaches of the Volga River, the Don River Basin, the Caucasus, Crimea and other regions. It lasted for nearly three hundred years and had a crucial impact on the historical development of the region, especially the Rus region located in the northern part of its territory. "The Rise and Fall of the Golden Horde" was written by the famous Soviet historians Boris Grekov and Alexander Yakubovsky. It has long been one of the most important books on the history of the Golden Horde and the first monograph in the related field to be translated into Chinese. This comprehensive study is divided into three parts, which respectively discuss the rise of the Golden Horde, the evolution of the relationship between the Golden Horde and the Rus principalities, and the decline of the Golden Horde. The author makes use of a large number of Persian and Arabic historical materials, ancient Russian chronicle materials, the edicts of the Golden Horde Khan and the results of archaeological excavations in Central Asia. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of research results on the Golden Horde Khanate by the historical circles of Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union.
