Скачать или смотреть The Fall of Kiev – When the Mongols Burned Europe’s Gateway

In 1240, the Mongol Empire under Batu Khan destroyed Kiev in one of the bloodiest sieges of the medieval era. Known as the ‘Mother of Russian Cities,’ Kiev faced 35,000 Mongol warriors equipped with deadly cavalry, advanced siege weapons, and fire arrows. The Mongol conquest of Kiev not only wiped out 90% of the city’s population but also opened the gateway for the Mongol invasion of Europe — threatening Poland, Hungary, and the rest of Christendom.

This video uncovers the brutal fall of Kiev — from Mongol siege tactics, psychological warfare, and their use of biological weapons, to the aftermath that reshaped Eastern Europe. If you’re fascinated by Genghis Khan, Batu Khan, and the unstoppable rise of the Mongol Empire, you’ll want to watch this historical short.
