@azamatbagatov7161 First off: The part of the Mongol empire that ruled Russia, the Golden Horde, were actually a settled people who developed and thus did have governing institutions. Not to mention that the Mongol style of governance was to be listened to or die. Now, onto the list:
Moscow being the capital of Russia (capital of the Tsardom of Russia, originally the Muscovite Tsardom) , the elimination of the veche system and democratic culture of the Rus, the flourishing of Orthodox Christianity (which existed because the Golden Horde allowed it), The census and tax collection system, centralization of power and rise of Russian autocracy, the Russian Tsars (started by the "Grand Prince" title granted by the Mongols), the destruction of Kiev as a center of power and splitting of the Rus, Mestnichestvo hierarchy, 15% of Boyar families, postal road network, increase in capital punishment (used to only be used on slaves), use of torture as a criminal procedure, certain punishments introduced such as beheading for alleged traitors and branding of thieves, and also the fiscal system and military organization, since that last part was required to fight the mongols.
In a story, much like Korea and Vietnam, the Russians we know today took cultural forms from the mongols in order to fight them off.
