DID YOU KNOW THE ORIGIN OF THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE?

Once upon a time there were two brothers: St. Cyril and St. Methodius, two Byzantine monks who in the 9th century were engaged in evangelization in the Slavic lands. But of course, in order to carry out their task, it was necessary to translate the religious texts into the language spoken by these people, but oh cruel fate: there was no alphabet. So the two monks were forced to create one that would represent the local Slavic dialects and thus create a standardized literary language: Old Slavic. Prelude to today's language of Russia.
