the truth is that the Golden Horde is the actual foundation of Moscow State (Moscovia), which later just changed name to "Russian" Empire (18th century), and then into the Soviet empire (early 20th century).
Most of the state symbols of Moscovia are of Mongol and Turkish origin, like money (denga[2], altyn[3]), or Muscovite king’s title (Tsar is Mongolian Sar).
Some sources report that Tsar is not a true Muscovite word, but was brought in by their Mongol conquerors, and does not mean rightly a great king but a horde-leader ; it it the Persian word Sar, a Head, likewise Head of House and a Horde, is early enough to be in the book of Genesis in Egypt as Sar-of-bakere, Sar-ofcupbeares, Sar-of-thVguard Potiphar […]
The title of the Russian princes was kniaz (prince) and velikikniaz (great prince): and the princes of Moscow took the title of czar as rulers of the Mongolians. As individual sub-khans made themselves independent of the kingdom of the Golden Horde, they also assumed the title of czar; thus, there were czars of Siberia, of Kasan, and of Astrakhan. The conquest of the Golden Horde by the khan of the Crimea in 1480 made the grand-princes of Moscow completely independent; and upon them devolved the absolute power which the czars hod exercised over all Russia. Ivan IV the Terrible first caused him self to be crowned czar in 1547; from that time the title of czar became the chief title of the Muscovite rulers. [4]
Usage of Muslim symbols in their version of “Orthodox” Christianity (the half moon)."
Before Christianity some of early Muscovite inhabitants adopted Muslim religion. That fact influenced later Muscovite church architecture, symbols, and traditions. Historical helmets and weaponry of Moscow and Muscovite tsars and their guards are Eastern styled and bear Arabic inscriptions with quotes from Koran etc.
You can also trace a lot of basic and everyday Muscovite words and terms to Turk and Mongolian words and terms. Medieval Moscow fashion and popular traditions were also more of Mongol then European (something that Peter the Great, a prominent westernizer and the founder of Muscovite Empire, was actively confronted with) etc.
If you look at toponyms of Moscow itself you will find a lot of references to the Mongol-Tatar rule incorporated into the heart and soul of Moscow. Including Kremlin, Arbat, Ordynka (the road to Orda), Basmanka, Tatar sloboda, Balchug, Cherkizovo, Tolmachi and many others.
A lot of early and later Muscovite old noble families have a Tatar and Mongol origins. I won’t even start to name those — you can easily find this info…
