In the context of the question of the “Tatar-Mongol Horde” the issue of the extent to which legal institutions of the Golden Horde applied to the Russian territories is important. The absence of a sufficient number of historical sources has allowed for researches to express com-pletely opposing points of view on this topic; usually, however, this is done on the basis of their own interpretations of general historical data. In the present article, the author attempts to characterize the role and meaning of legal institutions of the Golden Horde in Russia based on concrete examples and with the help of a historical and legal analysis of surviving legal docu-ments and accounts in the chronicles. The author is able to conclude that it is not possible to speak of a constant application of the laws of the Golden Horde in Russia. In different periods during the dependence of the Russian principalities on the Golden Horde, the application of le-gal institutions, just as the extent of the dependence of Russian princes on the Khan in general, was different.
