Subject
Although the Golden Horde dissolved by about 1500,Muscovy remained subject to constant large-scale raids by its successor states, notably by the khanates of Kazan, Astrakhan, and the Crimea, the last-named increasingly a vassal to and supported by Turkey. These repeated invasions in search of booty and slaves cost Muscovy
dearly, because of the havoc and devastation they wrought and the immense burden of guarding the huge southeastern frontier.
