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

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 correct idea of the world around the child. Each letter of Russian literacy is at the same time the way with which knowledge was transmitted. For example, the initial letter Az (Az) has the following images: source, beginning, primary basis, reason worthy, renewal.

Features of the Slavic alphabet
The alphabet has changed with the introduction of Christianity in Russia. In order for the Slavs to study the Bible, Greek symbols were introduced into the Russian alphabet, replacing the initial letters. They were required for a more correct reading of the holy books from the point of view of the church. Cyril and Methodius, having changed and reduced the alphabet by 6 letters, 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 on the example of many original Russian words, for example, conscience (joint message, knowledge), education (vocation of the image, its creation, va (I)). So in the 10th century Russian writing arose, which is largely consistent with the modern one. But there was more ancient, Slavic.

The appearance of writing in Russia
The issue of the emergence of writing in Russia has still not been finally resolved. The traditional point of view is this: it entered the life of the Russians with the advent of the Cyrillic alphabet. But the debates of scientists around this theory have been going on for a long time, and research by the doctors of philological sciences Chudinov, the doctors of historical sciences Natalya Guseva, academicians Vinogradov, Govorov, Sidorov and many other researchers convincingly prove that the first inscriptions in the Proto-Slavonic language are made on stones and clay tablets.

In the 70s of the last century, the Sofia alphabet (Greek) was discovered, which included three Slavic initials. Consequently, writing in Russia appeared long before the activities of Cyril and Methodius. The oldest was nodular writing, or ligature, nauz. Subsequently, runes appeared. The Old Russian Volkhvari are written in the Holy Russian runic letter. These texts are inscribed on planks of oak, cedar and ash.

Later cultural monuments, for example, Kharatyi, are written with a very verbolitic alphabet very close to the Old Slavonic alphabet. It was used as a sales letter, and traits and cuts - as a common people for the transmission of short messages for business needs. In the history of the Greeks and Scandinavians, documentary information has been preserved that already in the 2-4 century the Slavs were an educated people and had their own written language. Moreover, she was taught every child.

The most ancient monuments of Slavic writing were found in 1962 in the village of Terteria (Romania). They are written by a Slavic runic and date back to the 5th century BC. Before this find, the Sumerian tablets were the earliest artifact confirming the presence of written language among the ancient peoples of the East. But they turned out to be 1000 younger than the Old Slavic.
