Answer 1

The Mongols' preservation of Moscow and Kiev as major cities was one effect they had on Russia.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Mongols had many effects on Russia, but one significant effect was that they preserved Moscow and Kiev as major cities.

The Mongols conquered Russia in the 13th century and established the Golden Horde, their ruling power. While they destroyed many cities, they spared Moscow and Kiev and allowed them to flourish under Mongol rule. Moscow eventually became the center of Russian power, and both Moscow and Kiev played important roles in the development of the Russian state.
