Muscovy and the Mongols - Cross-Cultural Influences on the Steppe Frontier, 1304–1589

In examining the Mongol influence on Muscovy, Donald Ostrowski places Muscovy in the context of world history. In this 1998 book, he discusses the different cultures which influenced its development and shows that the ecclesiastical and secular establishments were affected by two dominant influences: Byzantium and the Qipchaq Khanate.
