In 1200 A.D. the powerful Rus tribe owned Belarussia, Ukraine, and all of Russia. In 1200 A.D. the Golden Horde traveled 4500 Km from Mongolia to rape and pillage Moscow and conquer the Rus tribe. Ukraine, Belarus, half of Germany, all of Poland, Baltics, etc. were swallowed up by the Golden Horde becoming half of the gene pool of the Rus tribes and thousands of Eastern European tribes.
