Abstract

The Mongols played a decisive role in the history of the Rus’ principalities, but the extent of this role varied from place to place. While in the Vladimir–Suzdal region the Mongol influence was very strong, for the Galician–Volhynian princes an alternative was provided by the Polish, Hungarian and Lithuanian neighbourhoods. The western alternative seemed to be a successful option under Daniil and his brother Vasilko, but the members of the next generation (e.g. Lev Danilovich) relied on only one of the three neighbours in their struggles. In the second half of thirteenth century, Galicia–Volhynia became a buffer zone at the frontier regions of the three power centres.
