The best solution would be to simply give it all back to the Mongols.

Yes they did:





They basically created Russia, taking what was a very loose collection of principalities and fiefdoms and chiefdoms and whatever that were constantly warring with each other and turned them into a coherent state.

did they even encounter the Japanese (navy?) at all or were they so blessed to have never even know what threat awaited them?

The first invasion devastated the Japanese. The battle took place on the beaches where the two forces met. The Mongols had several advantages; the Japanese were overwhelmed and began to retreat. Not knowing they had won, the Mongols feared the Japanese were coming back with reinforcements and also retreated, taking the land force on board and putting out to sea at nightfall to avoid being marooned by the oncoming typhoon. By daybreak, only a few ships had not set out to sea. Those that had, met their doom at nature's hand.

During the time period between the first and second invasion, the Japanese prudently built two-meter-high walls to protect themselves from future assaults.

Seven years later, the Mongols returned. Unable to find any suitable landing beaches due to the walls, the fleet stayed afloat for months and depleted their supplies as they searched for an area to land. After months of being exposed to the elements, the fleet was destroyed by a great typhoon, which the Japanese called "kamikaze" (divine wind). The Mongols never attacked Japan again, and more than 70,000 men were said to have been captured.

and that's where the term Kamikaze comes from

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Most of the people living in Crimea were Tatars, descendants of Mongols and other related nations, until the Russians forcibly relocated most of them to Central Asia and imported Russian settlers to take their poo poo.
