So how Mongolian are the Russian leaders in the Kremlin? By blood and by inspiration from Mongolian barbarism? It is said that 10% of Mongolians are decedents of Genghis Khan.

The real descendants of the Mongols are the Tatars. There wasn't a lot of interbreeding with Muskovite Slavs at first, since the Mongols (the Golden Horde, really) didn't occupy Moscow or any of the other forest zone cities. Their economy and their military were tied to their herds, which required steppe country. They weren't even big on cities, but they did have a bureaucratic capital at Sarai, on the Volga. From there they extracted tribute from the forest zone cities under threat of massive cavalry raids. Moscow sometimes allied themselves with the Mongols to suppress other cities in the region, and when the Golden Horde disintegrated (due largely to the invasions of Tamarlane), Moscow was in the best position to become dominant. The principle legacy the Mongols left Moscow was the idea of the khanate, which was religious observance of total, absolute dictatorship of one man. They have never broken that mold, even during the Soviet era. The collapse of the Soviet Union could not have resulted in any sort of representative government, because the people had no experience of it. Hence Putin.

In 500+ years of course, Slavs and Tatars inevitably interbred to some extent, although Slavs consider them an enemy people, they being Muslims where the East Slaves were Greek Orthodox. (West Slavs, e.g. the Poles, were Roman Catholics, and thereby hangs a tale.)

I honestly knew nothing of this Raisonovsky fellow. Vernadsky was the text for the high school course I took in 1963. My copy has of course long since been lost, and my memory dimmed, so I've ordered one off Alibris for a refresher. I cannot read long stuff on a computer. It's much too slow.
