THE BORDER OF RUSSIA WITH THE GOLDEN HORDE IN THE XIII-XIV CENTURIES
The problem of the Russian-Golden Horde borderland has not yet been presented as an independent research topic. The borders of Russia with the Golden Horde remain unclear for a considerable length and are depicted on maps very roughly-dotted lines, sometimes drawn without relying on sources.
