About

A large-scale exhibition dedicated to the relations of Rus with the states that emerged after the collapse of the Mongol Empire and the Golden Horde, and the fates of the descendants of Genghis Khan who served Russian rulers. Visitors will see over 150 exhibits from leading museums, libraries, and private collections, many of which are displayed for the first time. The Mongol Empire radically changed Eurasia, and the echoes of these changes are reflected in the history of the Russian state. The exhibition tells about the Genghisids serving at the Russian court and the cultural dialogue that goes back centuries and is important for understanding today’s multi-ethnic Russia. In the 13th-14th centuries, during the Mongol conquests, Rus temporarily fell into vassal dependence on the Golden Horde - a part of the fragmented Mongol Empire. However, relations with the Horde were not limited to confrontation. Modern research shows the existence of numerous connections affecting trade, culture, and dynastic traditions. Russian princes married Mongolian aristocrats from the Genghis Khan lineage. In the 15th-17th centuries, the Genghisids became vassals of Russian rulers and joined the service nobility. By the time of Peter I, they lost the special title of "tsarevich" and were no longer distinguished from other nobles. The exhibition features unique artifacts belonging to the descendants of Genghis Khan in the service of Russian tsars. Among them is a precious flask-suleya, gifted to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich by the Kasimov tsarevich Seyid-Burhan, a chronicle collection "Jami at-Tawarikh" created under the ruler of the Kasimov kingdom Uraz-Muhammad, a vassal of Tsar Boris Godunov, and a Quran holder with the genealogy of Uraz-Muhammad, a cover for the coffin of Alexius, the Moscow saint, created by order of Simeon Bekbulatovich (Sain-Bulat) - the only surviving monument reliably associated with this companion of Tsar Ivan IV the Terrible. Please note: entrance to the Kremlin is through the Kutafya Tower. For more details, visit the official website. Join us on VKontakte. Helmet with mask Photo: provided by the organizer Kazan hat Sab
