The importance of the Mongols' impact on the Rus lands has been
recognised by many scholars, but its precise nature and extent is
very contentious. While diverse opinions exist on the origins and
development of Muscovy, the author argues that no society arises ex
nihilo and that Muscovy is no exception. In this 1998 book, Donald
Ostrowski considers the outside origins and influences, as well as
indigenous origins and development, in order that the reader may
gain a clearer understanding of Muscovy as a political entity, its
political institutions and political culture. He shows that during
the early period of Muscovy (1304-1448) the ecclesiastical and
secular institutions were affected by two different outside
influences, Byzantium and the Qipchaq Khanate, respectively. In
considering these outside influences, he has set out to study
Muscovy as an integral and important part of world history.
