They acted as administrators and collected tribute on behalf of the Mongols.

Explanation: Under the Mongol khanate (the Golden Horde), Russian princes remained local rulers but were subordinate to the khan, required a yarlyk (grant) to rule, and were responsible for collecting and forwarding tribute and maintaining order for the Mongols. Occasional resistance occurred, but their primary role was as tributary administrators rather than as joint rulers, khans, or Ottoman ambassadors.
