{{Short description|13th-century Mongol general}} '''Dyuden''' or '''Tudan''' ({{langx|ru|Тудан}}; {{fl|1293}}) was a brother of [[Toqta]], the khan of the [[Golden Horde]] and a great grandson of [[Batu Khan]].
==Career== Dyuden was appointed as a general by [[Toqta]]. His 1293 campaign against Russia devastated 14 towns.{{sfn|Halperin|1987|p=145}}{{sfn|Shaikhutdinov|2021|p=55|loc="In 1293, the army of Dyuden, brother of Toqta, moved to Russia and "there was much evil." Dyuden's army attacked precisely those city centers whose princes supported Dmitry. The city of Vladimir was ruined, as well as fourteen other cities and regions"}} A combined Russo-Tatar army led by him caused devastation to [[Suzdal]], [[Vladimir, Russia|Vladimir]], [[Murom]], [[Yuryev-Polsky (town)|Yuryev-Polsky]], [[Pereslavl-Zalessky]], [[Moscow]], [[Kolomna]], [[Mozhaysk]], [[Dmitrov]], [[Uglich]], and [[Volokolamsk]].{{sfn|Fennell|2014|p=149}} The grand prince of Vladimir, [[Dmitry of Pereslavl|Dmitry]], was forced to flee to [[Pskov]], allowing [[Andrey of Gorodets|Andrey]] to take the title of grand prince.{{sfn|Shaikhutdinov|2021|p=55}} Andrey's appanage center of [[Gorodets, Nizhny Novgorod Oblast|Gorodets]] remained untouched by the campaign, as well as the cities in the north that belonged to the princes of [[Rostov Veliky|Rostov]].{{sfn|Fennell|2014|p=149}}
During the campaign, Andrey and Dyuden planned to take [[Tver]], which housed many refugees; however, [[Mikhail of Tver]] returned in time, which caused Andrey and Dyuden to abort their plan after learning about his presence there.{{sfn|Fennell|2014|p=149}} Instead, after devastating the towns of [[Vladimir-Suzdal]], the two took Volokolamsk.{{sfn|Fennell|2014|p=149}} The [[Novgorod Republic|Novgorodians]] were able to bribe the Tatars to leave the town and request Andrey to serve as their prince, which satisfied him enough and led to the Tatar troops to be withdrawn.{{sfn|Fennell|2014|p=150}}
Dyudan had a son, Shchelkan, who was [[Özbeg Khan]]'s ambassador in the [[Principality of Tver]] in 1327.<ref>Плюшар, А. А. [https://ru.wikisource.org/wiki/%D0%AD%D0%9B/%D0%94%D0%9E/%D0%94%D1%8E%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%8C Энциклопедический лексикон], СПб. 1835—1841</ref>
