Thomas the unbelievers
The absence of genetic traces of the mythical Mongol-Tatars on the territory of Russia has long turned from a scientific fact into a social problem. It would seem that what could be incomprehensible - there is no genetic trace, which means there was no army of narrow-eyed invaders, on low (slightly taller ponies) shaggy horses!
But no, a huge number of real and homegrown historians are poisonous on forums and websites, trying, contrary to common sense, to prove that illiterate nomadic shepherds, crossing out all the laws of human development and disregarding scientific facts, enslaved our ancestors, who stood at a much higher stage of development …

However, our historical masochists have objections to this.
1) They say that wild invaders, cut off from their women for many years and receiving regularly hefty portions of adrenaline, had enough chores. To drink the horses, to rob at home, to correct the military right, to rest, to take a breath after the assault … where is it to the captured women ?! One gets the impression that this is written by impotent people.
2) The second argument is that, according to their information, the Mongols used to kill raped women, and put everyone else on the trolley axle and whoever was above the wheel - to cut off their heads. That is, they make a significant conclusion - after the Mongol-Tatar army, there were no living people left in principle.

3) And thirdly (they continue to amaze with the depth of their knowledge in the intricacies of the psychology of women of that time), the invasion was in winter, and this time (as they know for certain) one hundred percent pregnancy of Russian women. "The period of ovulation did not allow conception to take place" - quote.
4) Well, if all three of the above reasons did not work and "let down" the ovulation period, abused women, according to "the tradition prevailing in society at that time" (according to the opinion of historical masochists), deprived themselves of either a sinful fruit or immediately life. No more no less.
I will not comment on their "arguments", let everyone make an opinion for themselves.
The ancient Mongolian kingdom of Niruun - reconstruction.
Found traces, but not in Russia
Chinese scientists decided to conduct a massive study of the genetic material along the proposed route of Genghis Khan's army. Participants were: the Chinese Academy of Sciences, many specialized Chinese institutes, laboratories and centers, as well as the French National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations.
The results were published on January 22, 2018 in the European Journal of Human Genetics (link).
The sample was designed to detect the distribution of haplogroup C2.. ST, which is considered to belong to Genghis Khan (Batu-Mungke-Dayan-Khan), through relatives with authentic documentary confirmation of the pedigree.
Analysis of the entire sequence shows that the Y-chromosome C2 * - a star cluster dates back to the ordinary Mongols, and not to Genghis Khan.
They found that the origin of populations with high frequencies of C2.. ST can be traced back either to the ancient Mongolian clan of Niruun, or to ordinary Mongolian tribes. Large populations of Mongolian genes have been found in Southeast Kazakhstan and Northwest China. Following them in terms of numbers are actually Mongolia and Uzbekistan.
It is also found among the Nogais, Dauras, Khazars (Afghan) and Manchurians. Probably, the spread of the Mongolian populations took place in the form of migrations of different time. Although the oreal, in general, coincides with the borders of the Mongol Empire.
It turns out that either the same "documented" descendant of the Universe Shaker and not Genghisid at all, or Genghis Khan could have been a carrier of another haplogroup.
Mongols khoton - have haplogroup R1a1.
In contrast to the Chinese (which has a direct interest), there is a version of the spread of Mongol tribes and clans as part of the numerous campaigns of eastern nomadic peoples to the West. Contrary to popular belief, until the early Middle Ages, these were mainly Caucasoid horsemen: Scythians, Huns, Asians, Tochars, Sarmatians, and so on.
Among other things, it can be stated that the Mongols who participated in military campaigns left their genetic traces, like all other peoples. For example, the soldiers of Alexander the Great, whose army route is fully confirmed by genetic descendants.
As in previous studies, no Mongolian genes have been identified in Russia. It is unlikely that Chinese scholars can be suspected of any bias towards the Russian population, rather the opposite.
Yes, there are girls in Mongolian villages … an obvious mestizo.
