Mongolo-

The okolnichi is first mentioned in Smolensk in 1284. This was during the reign of Grand Duke Fedor who, as we have seen, spent many years at the khan's court, married a Mongol princess, and, in general, might be called a "Mongolophile".

Moreover, the Chinese side obstinately follows a course to aggravate the Mongolo-Chinese relations and to interfere in the internal affairs of the Mongolian People's Republic.
