Before the Mongols arrived in Russia, the country did not exist. As such, when the invaders did move in, they were met with little Resistance because the people were not united under one government or ruler. The main city of that time wasn't Moscow, called Muscovy, but it was the city of Kiev which was in modern day Ukraine. The city was burned to the ground for not surrendering. Once the Mongols settled themselves, all the Russian princes who had their own kingdoms had to pay the Mongols to keep themselves safe and would be humiliated by having to feed the invaders' horses with grain from their hats. The first grand Prince of Russia wasn't the Grand Prince for being the leader of the Russians to throw out the Mongols, but it was a title he bought from the outside rulers. The leader of Moscow, Ivan I, would collect the tribute for the Mongols and as such he was granted the most favor. Ivan would collect the 'taxes' from his own city as well as those nearby. He was given the name "Moneybags" for his work. And this continued on for quite a few years until the later princes of Moscow felt that they were more powerful than the Mongols and could over throw them. I believe the battle for independence lasted 20 years or so.
