Based on the table above, it can be inferred that the Mongols influenced the Russian Empire more than the Ming Empire. The evidence for this lies in the vast territories that were conquered by Genghis Khan and his descendants, which included most of Russia. The table shows that the Mongol Empire extended into regions that would later become part of the Russian Empire, such as Siberia. Additionally, the Mongols had a significant impact on the culture and governance of Russia, even after their rule ended, as evident from the long-lasting influence of the Mongol Yoke on the Russian political system. On the other hand, the influence of the Mongols on the Ming Empire was relatively limited, as they did not conquer or have direct control over significant territories in China.
