The Russians have their own review of the Mongols. It is stated that usually the first impression that people have of the Mongols is that of devastation, destruction, and brutality.
Another world for Mongols is "tartars". In the year 1238, foreigners called the Mongols tartars. In the primary source it says that they came in countless numbers. They compare them to "locusts".
The Chinese have their own perception of the Mongols. Marco Polo reported that some Mongol officials treated Chinese just like slaves. This generated outrage.
