Who had done the most valuable research on the Mongols? Describe.

Answer

Perhaps the most valuable research on the Mongols was done by Russian scholars starting in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as the Tsarist regime consolidated its control over Central Asia.

This work was produced within a colonial milieu and was largely survey notes produced by travellers, soliders, merchants and antiquarian scholars.

In the early twentieth century, after the extension of the the soviet republics in the regime, a new Marxist historiography argued that the prevalent mode of production determined the nature of social relations.
