Still image from: Crash Course World History I: Russia, the Kievan Rus, and the Mongols

Host John Green explains how Russia evolved from a loose amalgamation of medieval principalities known as the Kievan Rus into present day Russia. It turns out that the Mongols had quite a lot to do with unifying Russia. In yet another example of how surprisingly organized nomadic raiders can be, the Mongols brought the Kievan Rus together under a single leadership and concentrated power in Moscow. Part of the "Crash Course World History" series.
