The Great Horde (Uluğ Orda)^[2] was a rump state of the Golden Horde that existed from the mid-15th century to 1502.^[3][4][5] It was centered at the core of the former Golden Horde at Sarai on the lower Volga.^[6]

Both the Khanate of Astrakhan and the Khanate of Crimea broke away from the Great Horde throughout its existence, and were hostile to the Great Horde. According to later Russian tradition, the retreat of the forces of the Great Horde at the Great Stand on the Ugra River opposed by Ivan III of Russia marked the end of the "Tatar yoke" over Russia.
