@kamilkazani All free [Novgorod] citizens were given a vote. The assembly… could dismiss the prince. Within the city, neighborhoods exercised considerable autonomy. Novgorod was eventually conquered by Ivan III and added to the Muscovite state.

Meanwhile on Russian state TV: Apti Alaudinov, the commander of the Chechen detachment "Akhmat" fighting in Ukraine, tells state TV host Olga Skabeeva that Russian forces "already pinned down NATO and the U.S." and are ready "to put all of Europe on its knees." She's thrilled. pic.twitter.com/Ti7HJ31K2S

@kamilkazani “They punished resistance harshly and were perfectly willing to execute the inhabitants of entire towns simply to make a point. They recruited Russian princes, including the Muscovite prince who would go on to create the Russian state to act as their tax collectors…”

@kamilkazani “The Mongols thus trained several generations of Russian leaders in their own predatory tactics. Indeed, through intermarriage they merged with the Russian population… Russian state building was driven by the need to wage war.”

@EcoHomeboy @kamilkazani I advise people to read all the evidence Fukuyama assembles, but to be wary his conclusions. Regardless of that, the evidence of Russia (Muskovy) inheriting institutions and attitudes from the Horde seems conclusive. They evolved as their vassal for almost 300 years.
