- The Russians Build an Empire The modern Russian state resulted from interactions with the Golden Horde Mongols in the 13th and 14th centuries. Through those interactions, the kingdom of Muscovy was appointed the chief tax collector for the Mongols. Through this position, the Muscovy kingdom became the dominant power in the region. In 1480 Russian Czar Ivan III refused to pay the Mongols any further tax.

- The Russians looked east for economic development. In the grasslands directly to Moscow’s east, vast grasslands provided millions of acres of potentially productive agricultural lands. Further to the east in Siberia, Russia looked to harvest valuable pelts of fur-bearing animals (soft gold) and various minerals.
