An extremely lazy map.
Tsaritsyn is a Russian name, which was never in use at the time; Itil was already forgotten; Azov was named Azaq.
At the time of “greatest extent of Golden Horde” when it controlled Moldavia (late XIII-early XIV), Novgorod already sweared loyalty to Golden Horde, which should make green area far bigger. Also, for some reason tributary Bulgaria and other non-East Slavic tributary states are ignored.
So, basically, Golden Horde is depicted as for 1300; tributary principalities as for 1250.

Russia
(historical, dated) Kievan Rus; the medieval East Slavic state centered in Kiev
(dated, countable) Any of several East Slavic states descended from Kievan Rus
so that usage of russia is not incorrect, it just dated, and in today’s political environment seems very political incorrect
