So, the Poles hate the Russians, Poland is east of Russia, and Mongolia is west of Russia.

For a Mongolian horde to raid Poland, it would have to head west, through Russia, raiding all the way. For the horde to return home, it would have to head east, back through Russia, raiding all the way. Hordes after all have to pillage and raid during their travels to support themselves.

No worries. If you travel eastwards from Russia, eventually you will reach Poland - after crossing two oceans or so...

See Hefty-Purchase's comment. You mixed up "east" and "west" in your first sentence.

However, if you travel far enough east from Russia, you'll hit Poland, and Mongolia is west of some parts of Russia!
