The Mongol-Tatars (13th–16th centuries – Ciscaucasia, Azov region, Kuban region). At the beginning of the 13th century, in the steppes of Central Asia, the Mongols created a huge nomadic empire, which was headed by Temujin (Genghis Khan). In 1222, the army of Subedei and Jebe reached Alania. The Kipchaks (Cumans) opposed the Mongols in alliance with the Alans. However, the Mongol commanders cunningly split the military alliance of the Alans and Kipchaks. Pursuing the Kipchaks, the Mongols reached the Crimea, where they took Sudak. Some of the Kipchaks went into the mountains or "took refuge in the swamps" (in the delta of the Terek-Sulak or in the delta of the Kuban), others retreated to Derbent, attacked and destroyed the city, and then tried to pass through Shirvan into Georgia, but were defeated by the Georgian army. The Mongols began the systematic conquest of the North Caucasus simultaneously with the conquest of the Russian lands. In the autumn of 1237, Khan Batu sent part of his troops under the command of Möngke Khan (Möngke-Temur) and Kadana to the Northwestern Caucasus to defeat the "Circassians" (Adyghe) and Alans. The Mongols defeated the Adyghe and killed their prince Tukar, and in 1238–1239 they defeated Alania and took its capital Magas. However, the Tatar-Mongol invasion did not lead to the universal subjugation of the local inhabitants.

From the beginning of the 13th to the mid-15th centuries, the Genoese and Venetians actively developed and settled the northern coast of the Black Sea. More details.
