鞑靼统治(1240-1480年俄罗斯被蒙古国所建立的金帐汗国统治)对俄罗斯民族的影响极其深远。这一强大的游牧民族对俄罗斯的掌控长达两个世纪。尽管后来它离开了,却留下一个满目疮痍的俄罗斯,就如同集市散场后的原野:放眼望去尽是枯黄的干草和肮脏的粪便,尽是低洼的坑洞和杂乱的木桩,尽是污浊的麻杆灰和深陷的马蹄印。而那原本青翠欲滴的草原,如今已是枯黄衰败,灰尘覆盖。农奴制大行其道。叫它如何不兴盛 The Tatar rule (ruled by the Golden Horde established by Mongolia in 1240-1480) has a far-reaching impact on the Russian nation. The powerful nomadic nation has been in control of Russia for two centuries. Although later it left, leaving a devastating Russia, it was like the wilderness after the market was set off: it was full of yellow dry hay and dirty manure, low-lying potholes and messy wooden posts, It is dirty stout ash and deep hoof prints. And that originally green verdant grassland, now is the yellow decay, dust cover. Serfdom prevailed. How does it not flourish?
