The Mongols were able to invade Kiev in 1240 due to a combination of superior military tactics, effective horseback riding skills, and advanced siege technology. Their well-organized and mobile cavalry allowed them to outmaneuver and outpace local forces. Additionally, the disunity among the Russian principalities made it easier for the Mongols to conquer the region, as there was little coordinated resistance. The Mongol strategy of psychological warfare and rapid, brutal attacks also contributed to their success in capturing Kiev.
They were called the "Tatars" because one of the Mongol tribes was of the Tata people.

It is really a two part answer. Because of the destruction of Kiev and Kievan Rus by the Golden Horde (the Mongols), the Metropolitan (head of the Orthodox Church for Kiev) feared for his life and the survival of the church and moved to Vladimir-Susdal (nearer to Moscow) away from the Mongols reach. Moscow, a relatively small city at the time, grew quickly when it's leader arranged to collect the payment to the Mongols for not only his city but other cities in the region. Thus gaining him and Moscow stature and favor in the eyes of the Mongols.
