The major principalities of Kazan and Crimea gained independence. Muscovy, Astrakhan, Nogay Horde and Siberia followed.

The Horde's supreme ruler was the khan, chosen by the kurultai among Batu Khan's descendants.

This year's H.O.R.D.E event was headlined by Blues Traveler and the Allman Brothers Band and included a total of 9 outstanding groups.
He also praised Big Head Todd who were by far the most boring of the bands in attendance.
