The Mongols Created such a huge empire by killing women and children, and wiping out armies, towns, and cities. They eventually ruled almost all of Asia and most of Europe.
The Mongols only built up Russian cities that were deemed vitally important.
it depends on which attack it was.
Many of the Mongols converted to Islam. They intermarried with the local people. Over time, the Mongols rebuilt the cities they destroyed during the invasion. In order to capture Baghdad, the Mongols laid a brutal siege upon the city in 1258. Additionally, the Mongols as a political force were expelled from Baghdad in 1341. The Mongols as an ethnic group were never a large population, this meant that after the fall of the Mongol political unit that they were quickly overcome by intermarriage and disappeared ethnically after the mid-1400s.
A small Mongol squadron of some thousand men tried to take Vienna, pillaging its neighboring cities, but Duke Frederick the II of Austria and his knights repelled the attack and killed as many as 700 Mongols in the ensuing battle. Also, at the same time, Great Khan Ögedei of the Mongol Empire died, and the Mongols never tried to take European lands (in the same effect) again.
They didn't destroy the cities they conquered (no need to rebuild infrastucture) and when you get down to it, they were good administratores.
