This review evaluates the works of several authors who published their articles in the journal, Stratum plus (2016, No. 5), which was entirely devoted to the issue of the Mongol-Tatar invasion. Authors from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and Romania assess the nature and extent of the consequences of this invasion on the European continent based on archaeological data, museum exhibits, written sources, church and household architecture. Considering the entire range of opinions expressed as a while, the review evaluates the successful attempt to address the aforementioned topics in a single issue of the journal. Thanks to the success of the attempt, this issue of the journal has become an important collection of articles for assessing the consequences of the relevant events of the 13th century. Without a doubt, this journal’s issue will not only be interesting, but also useful, for a wide range of interested readers.
