The question of the origin of writing in Russia is ambiguous. The oldest evidence of its presence dates back to the 5th century BC. The emergence of the alphabet is associated with the activities of the preachers of Christianity Cyril and Methodius.

Step 1
Since then, when they stopped teaching children the Slavic alphabet, less than 100 have passed. Meanwhile, it was she who was the storehouse of knowledge that formed the child's correct idea of the world around him. Each letter of the Russian letter is at the same time an image with the help of which knowledge was transmitted. For example, the initial letter Az (Az) has the following images: source, beginning, fundamental principle, reason, worthy, renewal.
Step 2
Features of the Slavic alphabet
The alphabet changed with the introduction of Christianity in Russia. In order for the Slavs to study the Bible, Greek symbols that replaced the initial letters were introduced into the Russian alphabet. They were required for a more correct reading of the sacred books from the point of view of the church. Cyril and Methodius, having changed and reduced the alphabet by 6 drop caps, predetermined the loss of the deep meaning of the Russian language, which was mastered not by writing letters (letter combination), but by combining images. This can be traced to the example of many primordially Russian words, for example, conscience (shared message, knowledge), education (calling an image, its creation, va (i) niye). So in the 10th century, Russian writing arose, in many respects corresponding to the modern one. But there was also an older, Slavic one.
Step 3
The emergence of writing in Russia
The question of the origin of writing in Russia has not yet been finally resolved. The traditional point of view is this: it entered the life of the Russians with the emergence of the Cyrillic alphabet. But scholars have been debating this theory for a long time, and the studies of Doctor of Philology Chudinov, Doctor of Historical Sciences Natalia Guseva, Academicians Vinogradov, Govorov, Sidorov and many other researchers convincingly prove that the first inscriptions in the Proto-Slavonic language were made on stones and clay tablets.
Step 4
In the 70s of the last century, the Sofia alphabet (Greek) was opened, which included three Slavic initial letters. Consequently, writing in Russia appeared long before the activities of Cyril and Methodius. The most ancient was the knotted letter, or ligature, nauzy. Subsequently, the runes appeared. Old Russian Volkhvari are written in Svyatorussky runic script. These texts are inscribed on oak, cedar and ash boards.
Step 5
Later cultural monuments, for example, Kharatya, were written in a Glagolitic script very close to the Old Church Slavonic alphabet. It was used as a trade letter, and features and cuts were used as a common one to convey short messages for household needs. In the history of the Greeks and Scandinavians, documentary information has been preserved that already in the 2-4 centuries the Slavs were an educated people and had their own written language. Moreover, every child was taught her.
Step 6
The most ancient monuments of Slavic writing were found in 1962 in the village of Terteria (Romania). They are written in Slavic Runica and date back to the 5th century BC. Before this discovery, the earliest artifact confirming the presence of writing among the ancient peoples of the East was the Sumerian tablets. But they turned out to be 1000 younger than the Old Slavic ones.
