INSTEAD OF A FOREWORD

The only joy in our life that is given freely, that is, practically without any labor or stress, is the Gift of Speech. For all other knowledge, great and small, you have to pay or get it through sweat, sometimes making incredible efforts of your mind, feelings and sometimes muscles. And native speech, natural language comes to us in infancy as a true Gift, as if by itself, causing the joy and admiration of knowing the world.

Think about it: by the age of two years of existence in this world, still physically helpless, with a clear, unclouded consciousness, and most importantly, unable to read or write, the child absorbs a huge amount of knowledge. He gets a complete picture of the world, including even subtle matter - the psychology of interpersonal relationships.

If we had not slammed our faces on the bench and had just as successfully continued to develop, to master the sciences at least until adolescence, then we would indeed have become the image and likeness of God... And the main source of information for a baby is vision and hearing. This means not believing in astrology, mysticism, metaphysics and other “pseudosciences”, not taking into account genetic predisposition, fatal predestination and following the strict rules of the reinforced concrete laws of evolution.

After all, we are taught from school: the world develops from small to large, from simple to complex. This world, however, has the opposite structure and reverse nature; at least, the unique abilities of children irrefutably prove this, making us indignantly amazed when our offspring, who mastered his native speech in two years, then turned eleven school years crams English or French and just can’t get it down.

And so, thanks to vision and hearing, first of all, interconnected with them, smell, touch and an obscure sense of intuition, the baby easily transforms from a biological being into a human being, into a personality, that is, it acquires a face, an image. When this miracle happens, we begin to worry about its formation, completely ignoring the fact that it has already happened against our will and through the Gift of Speech, words, language, which is the main educational tool.

Here for the first time our child loses this Gift in the literal sense. If before adult intervention a word had a sound, taste, smell, color and a whole range of associative ideas for him, now we are trying to convince the child (and ourselves, by definition) that it, the word, has a root, a suffix and an ending. Well, another pretext or prefix. The concept of “root” somehow still fits into the inexperienced consciousness, because it is close to the triune nature of things in the world, but suffixes, prefixes, affixes once and for all knock a child out of the divine bosom of understanding and sound of Speech. The word completely loses not only its meaning, but above all its magical essence, discovered by a child’s consciousness and comprehended by feelings.

In the word “rainbow,” for example, he saw the solar arc, decomposed into seven colors, and intuitively ascended to the idea of ​​the spectrum of white light, its hidden, mysterious colorfulness. He was on a direct path to understanding the most complex laws of environmental management, physics, chemistry, optics of the atmosphere, but we “educated” it, instilling in it that “rad” is just an unknown meaning of the root of this word, “ug” is a suffix, something like a building structure-support, well, and “a” is the ending, so named because the word ends with this sound. And if you remember all the linguistic terminology, the word will be crushed and smeared beyond recognition. But now our child has something to do - study at school, and then another five years at the university in order to gain an understanding of the nature of the rainbow and the dispersion of light... And you can sleep almost peacefully - until adulthood, the child is busy, settled, easily controlled and morally completely from we are dependent. But what to do with him until the overgrown kid learns and comes to his senses, becomes like our morals and views?

Our, at least European education, as well as science, fulfill a hidden but main goal - to suppress the divine nature in man. M.V. Lomonosov must have understood this very well in his time, when advanced German linguists plastered the living flesh of the Russian language, turning it into a faceless, gelatinous gray mass in which true, natural concepts, meanings and meanings could easily be drowned. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to inculcate the technological effectiveness of European thinking. Reliably, cheaply and cheerfully suppressing the divine essence of nature is possible only in one way - to take away the self-sufficient educational tool, Speech given by the gods, and turn it into a signal information system sounds, dissolving the magical essence of the native language, like mercury dissolves gold. The resulting amalgam becomes amorphous, liquid, shapeless and rootless, and seems to also contain gold, at least we are convinced of this, but its vapors are poisonous and even lethal in handling. It is dangerous to use as money, especially as jewelry...

After scrofulous gold miners (please do not confuse them with scrofula allergy sufferers and gold diggers, cesspool cleaners) collect the polished dusty gold with mercury, the amalgam is poured into an iron jar and evaporated over a fire, standing on the leeward side so as not to be poisoned. The mercury evaporates without a trace, and golden star-shaped grains appear at the bottom. To restore the magical essence of language, and more importantly to awaken common sense and reason, approximately the same should be done with speech amalgam. The Common Slavic Gift of Speech and the language of the Eastern Slavs in particular (the dialects of Great, Little and White Rus') have not only unique educational capabilities, but also the ability to collect and store historical and cultural information that cannot be obtained in any other way than from the linguistic treasury . History is written by historians, in fact, what Herodotus and his followers did, and legend accumulates in the language, just as radioactive particles accumulate in a natural gravel filter.

Therefore, the word will certainly take you back to unknown bygone times, guide you along the untrodden paths of the distant past, or, on the contrary, like a magic crystal, will focus a completely different view of the present and even the future. The language was revealed to me about forty years ago, when I plunged into the unknown depths of my native speech, memorized “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign,” and began reading chronicles and ancient Russian works in the original. After this, the idea arose to create an etymological dictionary. The imbalance of the modern lexicon and the way we think seemed glaring to me, the blindness of linguistic science was frightening, the level of Russian teaching in schools seemed agonizing.

In my youthful ardor, I blamed everything on the internationalism of the Bolsheviks, who put barriers to the great and mighty, so that we would not become too proud, so everyone, anyone except the Russians, studied the etymology of Russian. But ten years later, the democrats came, and because everything got worse, it became clear that the suppression of the divine nature in man is being done deliberately and regardless of the regime. Moreover, at a time of accumulation of primary capital, when newly introduced terminology and fashionable slang are directly intended to hide the true meaning of the ongoing reforms or to retouch undesirable phenomena. For example, the word “corruption” is persistently introduced into circulation, and we no longer react to it as a criminal act. One term covered several ominous vices that are corroding society and state foundations: embezzlement, bribery, extortion. And corrupt officials turn out to be not so dangerous...

Substitution of concepts is a favorite tool of reformers. We still perceive the world through the word and like children, we still believe in it, and the old man Schumacher and his son-in-law Taubert, who were still under Lomonosov, are still alive, run the Academy of Sciences and are well aware of our national passions and faith in the word. They are eternal and immortal, like the Mikhalkovs, who write the right anthems for all regimes and make the right movies. And yet, at the same time, I will leave the creation of an etymological dictionary to professional linguists. In the end, this is their bread, headache and glory, especially, judging by the letters of readers, interest in language, in its original essence, is growing as rapidly as they are rapidly trying to fool us by replacing concepts. And naturally, more and more linguistic scholars are appearing, young, tenacious, zealous, who are already tired of the stupidity of German linguistics, and who, having opened their eyes, have seen the naked academic king. With my “Forty Lessons” I will try to lay a conceptual foundation for future compilers of the dictionary, and for a wide range of readers - to magnetize the compass needle pointing magnetic pole Earth...

Slavic ABC before the language reform of 1918

The Slavic alphabet differs from other alphabets not only in its embodiment of the principle of unambiguous graphic display: one sound - one letter. This alphabet contains the following content:

AZ BUKY VETI GLOGOL GOOD IS LIVE ON THE EARTH AND HOW PEOPLE THINK OUR HE REST RTSY THE WORD IS STRONG

To begin with, let us remember the phrase: “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits.” It is known to everyone since childhood and makes it easy to remember the sequence of colors of the rainbow. This is the so-called acrophonic method of memorization.
Each word of the phrase begins with the same letter as the name of the color: everyone is red, the hunter is orange...

Before the language reform of 1918, each letter of the alphabet also had its own name.
|||Each letter stood in its place.
The Russian alphabet is not only a set of letters corresponding to sounds, it is also a whole message to the Slavs.

Let us read the message of our ancestors to us living today. Let's look at the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi.
Az – I.
Beeches - letters, writing.
Vedi - knew, perfect past tense from “vedeti” - to know, to know.

Combining the acrophonic names of the first three letters of the alphabet, we get the following phrase: Az buki vede - I know the letters.

Please note: Az – I is the first letter in the alphabet (and not the last, as in the modern alphabet). Because it is with me that my World, my Universe begins.

Az is the basis, the beginning. The basis for everything is knowledge of God and one’s ancestors. That is, your parents, your roots.

Verb Good - speak, do good. Remember, as in Pushkin: “To burn the hearts of people with a verb.” A verb is both a word and a deed at the same time. Verb - speak. Verb - I say. I say it means I do it. What should you do? Good.

Good Is Live - to do good means to live in work, and not to vegetate.

Zelo - diligently, with zeal.

Earth – planet Earth, its inhabitants, earthlings. Live Zelo Earth. Live well by the land and on the earth. For she is our nurse-mother. The earth gives life.

And How People Think - He is Our Peace. That is, what you people think is your world. Here's the law of reflection. What goes around comes around.

Rtsy The Word is Firm. Speak the word firmly. Your word must be firm. Said - done.

Oak Firth Her. Uk is the basis of knowledge. Compare: science, teach, skill, custom.

Fert - fertilizes.

Her - divine, given from above. Compare: German Herr - lord, God, Greek - hiero - divine. English – hero – hero, as well as Russian name god - Horse. Knowledge is the fruit of God, the gift of God.

Tsy - sharpen, penetrate, delve into, dare.
Tsy is a vital energy, a higher structure. Hence the meaning of the word “fathers” - from “Tsy” coming - coming from God.

The worm is the one who sharpens, penetrates.

Shta – which means “to.”

Ъ, ь (еръ, ерь) are variants of one letter; it meant an indefinite short vowel, close to “e”.
The word “ur” meant existing, eternal, hidden. Space-time, inaccessible to the human mind, a light, the Sun. “Ъръ” is, in all likelihood, one of the most ancient words of modern civilization. Compare the Egyptian Ra - Sun, God.
The word time itself contains the same root, since the initial “v” developed precisely from the aspiration with which “ъ” must be pronounced at the beginning of a word. Many native Russian words contain the same root, for example: morning - from the Sun (the root “ut” - from there, there), evening - vek Rъ - vek Ra, the expiring time of the Sun.

In the sense of “space, Universe,” the Russian “frame” comes from the same root.

The word “paradise” means: many Suns, i.e. abode of the god Ra. The self-name of the gypsies “Rum, Roma” - free, free, God is in me, I am the Universe. Hence the Indian Rama. In the sense of “light, luminary, source of light”: the cry “Hurray!” means "To the Sun!" Bright means like sunlight, rainbow, etc.

Yus small - light, old Russian jar. In modern Russian, the root “yas” is preserved, for example, in the word “clear”.

Yat (yati) – to comprehend, to have. Compare: withdraw, take, etc.

Tsy, cherve, shta ЪRA yus yati! Which means: dare, sharpen, worm, in order to comprehend the light of God!

The combination of the above phrases constitutes an elementary message:
Az beeches vede.
The verb is good.
Live well, earth,
And what about people?
Think about our peace.
Rtsy's word is firm.
Uk fert dick.
Tsy, worm, shta ra yus yati!
In modern translation it sounds like this:
I know the letters.
Writing is an asset.
Work hard, earthlings!
As befits reasonable people.
Comprehend the universe.
Carry your word with conviction!
Knowledge is a gift from God.
Go ahead, delve into it...
To comprehend the Light of Being!

Until recently, it was believed that the ABC is simply the letters of a language arranged in in a certain order. That is, just icons. That's all! Perhaps that is why it was so easy and simple to remove letters from the Russian ABC. Why do we need so many? The English make do with 26 letters, and that’s enough for them. Why do we need 33? And even more so 49, as it was originally.

Scientists who seek to cut down the ABC do not understand much (or understand, but deliberately do evil).

Even in ancient times, our ancestors considered the ABC as a code for creation. Many peoples deified the ABCs. The word has always been perceived as the beginning of creation, and the letter was a unit, an atom of creation. Each letter had its own meaning, its own image, its own meaning.

Recently, a group of Russian scientists (G.S. Grinevich, L.I. Sotnikova, A.D. Pleshanov and others) have proven that our ABC contains knowledge about the laws of the universe in encrypted form.

What is a letter? A letter is a unit, an atom of meaning. Letters have a certain shape and graphics. Each letter has its own number, its own number. Pythagoras also argued that letters and numbers have the same vibrations.

With the discovery of torsion fields, another component of the letter became known. Since each letter has its own shape, and the shape creates a torsion field, the letter contains certain information from the field of Consciousness.

That is, by cutting down the ABC, we disconnect from one or another area of ​​the general information field of the Universe, from the general field of Consciousness. And this leads to human degradation.

Each letter of the Russian alphabet is a symbol of something.

For example, the letter “Zh” is a symbol of life. It means the union of masculine and feminine principles. And it had a corresponding name - “You Live.”

That is, our ancestors had certain images behind each letter. And through images they created. After all, we already know that in order to create something, it is necessary to form an image.

What is the current ABC? What are the images behind the letters now?
A - watermelon.
B - drum.
B – crow.

And so on. The alphabet ceased to be alive, and the language became without images, i.e. ugly.

Why did Turgenev write about the great and mighty Russian Language? Yes, because even at that time he was like that, until on December 23, 1917, the Russian ABC was given another “circumcision.” And there were several such “reforms”. The first reform of the Russian ABC was made by Cyril and Methodius in the 10th-11th centuries. Then in 1709 during the time of Peter the Great, then in 1735.

There is another interesting point. Before 1700, each letter in the ABC had its own numeric value. For example: A – 1, D – 4, C – 200, etc. Arabic numerals were introduced by Peter the Great. Before this, all numbers were designated by letters with a special icon on top - “titlo”.

The connection between letters and numbers is not accidental. Scientists are trying to figure it out. This is another facet of the ABC that our ancestors knew. It turns out that the ABC is a system of numerical codes. And by uttering words, we communicate with the Cosmos, with the Universe. And the Universe responds to our vibrations. Language is given to man not only for communication with each other, but also for communication with the Cosmos.

It has long been proven that everything living and even inanimate in this world reacts to sounds. Sounds can improve or inhibit plant growth and influence the growth of microorganisms. With the help of sound you can change a person's consciousness.

Our ancestors used the ABC, given by God, and therefore could create objects with the help of words and sound. They accurately conveyed the vibrations of this object with their voices. The Indian Vedas say that in ancient times there was a special language “Devagari” - the Language of the Gods. Remember the famous oriental tale about Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. In it, a magical cave was opened by a special spell. With the reforms of language, we have lost great power, the ability to directly influence Nature.

There is also a physical explanation for the influence of sounds on a person and the surrounding space. Sound is high frequency vibrations. In the brain, these vibrations are converted into electromagnetic vibrations. In addition, the sound wave causes space curvature, thereby generating torsion fields.

All sounds are divided into noises and tones. Sounds with periodic vibrations are tones, and those with non-periodic vibrations are noises. In speech, only vowel sounds are tones, all consonants are mixed with noise.

If you look at the spectrogram, you can see that vowel sounds have greater amplitude and energy.

It turns out that the more vowels there are in the ABC, the greater the energy of the language, and therefore the energy of the people.

For comparison: in the Old Russian language there were 19 vowels. And now it’s 10. The energy of the language and people has almost halved. Who needed it? And they are trying to remove another vowel letter from the ABC - the letter E. It is simply omitted when writing. As if this is how it should be.

And further. Each vowel sound has its own color. Because color is also vibrations, waves. For example, “A” is red, “E” is light green, “I” is blue, “O” is yellow. “U” is green, “Y” is brown, “E” is orange, “Y” is turquoise, “I” is pink-red.

Together with color, vowel sounds affect our internal organs, since each organ operates at a certain frequency. It is not for nothing that Indian mantras contain almost all vowel sounds. And chanting them is beneficial for the body.

It is important to know your language, your history, the images behind the letters. And how important it is not just to say words. And put bright positive images into them. It will make your life immeasurably richer.People use the word very carelessly, throw it in the wind, break it and remake it without thinking. Some Words are lost and simply forgotten. Many Words are aimed at the destruction of man, his soul.

Russian language is one of the most difficult. And this is connected not only with vocabulary and syntax, but also with its history. Even for us, native speakers, much is still native language unclear and mysterious.

Message

Linguists have repeatedly noted the acrophonic principle of constructing the Old Russian alphabet and even saw in it a hidden “message to the Slavs.” Each of the letters of the Cyrillic alphabet has its own name, and if you read these names in alphabetical order, you get: “Az buki vede. The verb is good. Live well, earth, and, like people, think about our peace. Rtsy’s word is firm - uk f’at dick. Tsy, worm, shta ra yus yati.” One of the translations of this text is: “I know the letters: writing is a property. Work hard, earthlings, as reasonable people should - comprehend the universe! Carry the word with conviction: knowledge is the gift of God! Dare, delve deeply in order to comprehend the light of existence!”

Which language is closer to the Slavic “ancestor”?

There has long been a debate among patriotic residents of Slavic countries: which language is closer to the original Slavic? Where did the differences between dialects on the territory of Eastern Rus' (i.e., present-day) come from? central Russia), Southern (modern Ukraine) and Western (now Belarus)?

The fact is that different elements participated in the genesis of the national languages ​​of these countries. In addition to the Slavs, Finno-Ugric tribes and Balts lived in Rus'. Nomads from the southern steppes often visited here. The Tatar-Mongol conquerors not only plundered and ravaged Rus', but also left behind many linguistic borrowings.

The Swedes, Germans, Poles - European neighbors, also enriched the Russian language with new words. The fact that a significant part of present-day Belarus was historically under the rule of Poland, and Southern Rus' was constantly subject to raids by nomads, could not but be reflected in the local languages. As they say, whoever you play with.

But don't get too upset. The fact that our language today is so far from its progenitor is not an accident or the result of a Masonic conspiracy, but the result of the painstaking work of many talented people who created the Russian literary language in the form in which it exists now. If it were not for the reforms inspired by them, we would not have the poetry of Pushkin, the prose of Tolstoy, or the drama of Chekhov. Who created the language we speak today?

The first "dismissal of letters"

In the 18th century, Peter I came to power. He began transformations in all spheres of life, and did not ignore the Russian language. But his reforms concern only the external side, they do not penetrate into the very essence of the language: its syntax, vocabulary, grammar.

Peter I simplifies the spelling by getting rid of the Greek letters psi, xi and omega. These letters did not represent any sounds in the Russian language, and their loss did not impoverish the language at all. Peter tried to get rid of a number of letters of the Russian alphabet: “Earth”, “Izhitsa”, “Fert”, and also removed the superscripts, but under pressure from the clergy these letters had to be returned.

The alphabetic reform made life easier not only for schoolchildren of Peter the Great’s time (they had to learn fewer letters), but also for printing houses, which no longer had to print extra characters that were not pronounced when reading.
Lomonosov responded about this as follows: “Under Peter the Great, not only the boyars and boyars, but also the letters, threw off their wide fur coats and dressed up in summer clothes.”

Why was the reform needed?

The real reform is taking place through the efforts of writers and poets of the 18th century: Trediakovsky, Lomonosov, Karamzin. They create the Russian literary language and “consolidate success” with their works. Before that, the Russian language, due to constant contacts with Western Europe, was in a chaotic state.

In it, vernacular forms coexisted with book ones, borrowings from German, French, and Latin were used along with Russian analogues.
Trediakovsky changes the very principle of Russian versification, adopting and adapting the European syllabic-tonic system - based on the regular alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables.

Lomonosov divides all words of the Russian language into three groups: the first group included those rarely used, especially in colloquial speech, but understandable to literate people: “I open,” “I call.” The second includes words common to Russian and Church Slavonic: “hand”, “now”, “I honor”. And to the third group he included words that have no analogues in church books, that is, Russian words, not originally Slavic: “I speak”, “stream”, “only”.

Thus, Lomonosov distinguishes three “calms”, each of which was used in certain literary genres: the high calm was suitable for odes and heroic poems, the middle calm was used to write dramatic works, prose - in general, all works where it is necessary to depict living speech. Low calm was used in comedies, satire, and epigrams.

Finally, Karamzin enriches the Russian language with neologisms, he abandons Church Slavonic vocabulary, and the syntax of the language in his works approaches the “lighter” French. It is to Karamzin that we owe, for example, the appearance of the words “falling in love” or “sidewalk.”

Difficult letter "Y"

Karamzin was one of the ardent “fans” of the letter “e”, but he was not its inventor at all. In 1783, one of the first meetings of the Academy of Russian Literature took place. Its founder was Ekaterina Dashkova. Together with the most famous writers of her time: Derzhavin and Fonvizin, the princess discussed the project of the Slavic-Russian dictionary.

For convenience, Ekaterina Romanovna suggested replacing the sound designation “io” with one letter “e”. The innovation was approved by the general meeting of the academy, Dashkova’s innovative idea was supported by Derzhavin, who began to use “ё” in his works. It was he who was the first to use the new letter in correspondence, and was also the first to type a surname with an “е”: Potemkin. At the same time, Ivan Dmitriev published the book “And My Trinkets”, imprinting all the necessary points in it. And finally, it became widely used after it appeared in Karamzin’s poetry collection.

The new letter also had its opponents. Minister of Education Alexander Shishkov is said to have furiously leafed through the numerous volumes of his library and with his own hand crossed out two dots above the letter. There were also many conservatives among the writers. Marina Tsvetaeva, for example, fundamentally wrote the word “devil” with an “o”, and Andrei Bely, for the same reasons, “zsolty”.

Printing houses also don’t like the letter, because it causes them to waste extra paint. In pre-revolutionary primers, it was banished to the very end of the alphabet, in the same company as the dying “Izhitsa” and “fita”. And these days its place is in the very corner of the keyboard. But not everywhere the letter “е” is treated with such disdain - in Ulyanovsk there is even a monument to it.

The secret of "Izhitsa"

In Lunacharsky's famous 1918 decree on changes in the Russian language, there is no mention of the letter V (“Izhitsa”), which was the last letter in the pre-revolutionary alphabet. By the time of the reform, it was extremely rare, and could be found mainly only in church texts.

In the civilian language, “Izhitsa” was actually used only in the word “miro”. In the silent refusal of the Bolsheviks from “izhitsi”, many saw a sign: the Soviet government seemed to be abandoning one of the seven sacraments - confirmation, through which the Orthodox are given the gifts of the Holy Spirit, designed to strengthen him in spiritual life.

It is curious that the undocumented removal of “Izhitsa”, the last letter in the alphabet, and the official elimination of the penultimate one - “fits” - made the final alphabetic letter - “ya”. The intelligentsia saw in this another malicious intent of the new authorities, who deliberately sacrificed two letters in order to put at the end the letter expressing the human personality, individuality.

It differs from other alphabets not only in the embodiment of the principle of unambiguous graphic display: one sound - one letter. This alphabet contains content...

To begin with, let's remember the phrase: “Every hunter wants to know where the pheasant sits”. It is known to everyone since childhood and makes it easy to remember the sequence of colors of the rainbow. This is the so-called acrophonic method of memorization. Each word of the phrase begins with the same letter as the name of the color: everyone is red, the hunter is orange...

Before the language reform of 1918, each letter of the alphabet also had its own name. Each letter stood in its place. The Russian alphabet is not only a set of letters corresponding to sounds, it is also a whole message to the Slavs.

Let us read the message of our ancestors to us living today. Let's look at the first three letters of the alphabet - Az, Buki, Vedi:

Az- I.

Beeches- letters, writing.

Lead- knew, perfect past tense of “vedeti” - to know, to know.

Combining the acrophonic names of the first three letters of the alphabet, we get the following phrase:

Az buki vede - I know the letters.

Note: Az - I is the first letter in the alphabet (and not the last, as in the modern alphabet). Because it is with me that my World, my Universe begins.

Az– this is the basis, the beginning. The basis for everything is knowledge of God and one’s ancestors. That is, your parents, your roots.

Verb Good- speak, do good. Remember, as in Pushkin: “To burn people’s hearts with a verb”. A verb is both a word and a deed at the same time. Verb - speak. Verb - I say. I say it means I do it. What should you do? Good.

Good Is Live– to do good means to live in labor, and not to vegetate.

Zelo- diligently, with zeal.

Earth – planet Earth, its inhabitants, earthlings. Live Zelo Earth. Live well by the land and on the earth. For she is our nurse-mother. The earth gives life.

And How People Think– He is our Peace. That is, what you people think is your world. Here's the law of reflection. What goes around comes around.

Rtsy The Word is Firm. Speak the word firmly. Your word must be firm. Said - done.

Oak Firth Her. UK- the basis of knowledge. Compare: science, teach, skill, custom.

Firth- fertilizes.

Her- divine, given from above. Compare: German Herr - lord, God, Greek - hiero - divine. English - hero - hero, as well as the Russian name of God - Horse. Knowledge is the fruit of God, the gift of God.

Tsy- sharpen, penetrate, delve into, dare. Tsy is a vital energy, a higher structure. Hence the meaning of the word “fathers” - from “Tsy” - coming from God.

Worm- the one who sharpens penetrates.

State– which means “to.”

b, b (er, er)- variants of one letter, it meant an indefinite short vowel, close to “e”. The word “ur” meant existing, eternal, hidden.

Space-time, inaccessible to the human mind, a light, the Sun. “Ъръ” is, in all likelihood, one of the most ancient words of modern civilization. Compare the Egyptian Ra - Sun, God. The word time itself contains the same root, since the initial “v” developed precisely from the aspiration with which “ъ” must be pronounced at the beginning of a word. Many native Russian words contain the same root, for example: morning - from the Sun (root “ut” - from there, there), evening - vek Rъ - vek Ra, the expiring time of the Sun. In the sense of “space, Universe,” the Russian “frame” comes from the same root.

The word "paradise" means: many Suns, i.e. abode of the god Ra. The self-name of the gypsies is “Rum, Roma” - free, free, God is in me, I am the Universe. Hence the Indian Rama. In the sense of “light, luminary, source of light”: the cry “Hurray!” means "To the Sun!" Bright means like sunlight, rainbow, etc.

Yus small– light, old Russian jar. In modern Russian, the root “yas” is preserved, for example, in the word “clear”.

Yat (yati)- to comprehend, to have. Compare: withdraw, take, etc.

Tsy, cherve, shta ЪRA yus yati! Which means: dare, sharpen, worm, in order to comprehend the light of God!

The combination of the above phrases constitutes an elementary message:

Az beeches vede.
The verb is good.
Live well, earth,
And what about people?
Think about our peace.
Rtsy's word is firm.
Uk fert dick.
Tsy, worm, shta ra yus yati!

In modern translation it sounds like this:

I know the letters.
Writing is an asset.
Work hard, earthlings!
As befits reasonable people.
Comprehend the universe.
Carry your word with conviction!
Knowledge is a gift from God.
Go ahead, delve into it...
To comprehend the Light of Being!

With the discovery of torsion fields, another component of the letter became known. Since each letter has its own shape, and the shape creates a torsion field, the letter contains certain information from the field of Consciousness.

That is, by cutting down the ABC, we disconnect from one or another area of ​​the general information field of the Universe, from the general field of Consciousness. And this leads to human degradation.

Each letter of the Russian alphabet is a symbol of something.

For example, the letter “F” is a symbol of life. It means the union of masculine and feminine principles. And it had a corresponding name - “You Live.”

That is, our ancestors had certain images behind each letter. And through images they created. After all, we already know that in order to create something, it is necessary to form an image.

What is the current ABC? What are the images behind the letters now? A - watermelon. B - drum. B – crow. And so on. The alphabet ceased to be alive, and the language became without images, that is, ugly.

Why did Turgenev write about the great and mighty Russian Language? Yes, because even at that time he was like that, until on December 23, 1917, the Russian ABC was given another “circumcision.” And there were several such “reforms”. The first reform of the Russian ABC was made by Cyril and Methodius in the 10th-11th centuries. Then in 1709 during the time of Peter the Great, then in 1735.

There is another interesting point. Until 1700, each letter in the ABC had its own numerical value. For example: A – 1, D – 4, C – 200, etc. Arabic numerals were introduced by Peter the Great. Before this, all numbers were designated by letters with a special icon on top - “titlo”.

The connection between letters and numbers is not accidental. Scientists are trying to figure it out. This is another facet of the ABC that our ancestors knew. It turns out that the ABC is a system of numerical codes. And by uttering words, we communicate with the Cosmos, with the Universe. And the Universe responds to our vibrations. Language is given to man not only for communication with each other, but also for communication with the Cosmos.

It has long been proven that everything living and even inanimate in this world reacts to sounds. Sounds can improve or inhibit plant growth and influence the growth of microorganisms. With the help of sound you can change a person's consciousness.

Our ancestors used the ABC, given by God, and therefore could create objects with the help of words and sound. They accurately conveyed the vibrations of this object with their voices. The Indian Vedas say that in ancient times there was a special Devagari language- Language of the Gods. Remember the famous oriental tale about Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. In it, a magical cave was opened by a special spell. With the reforms of language, we have lost great power, the ability to directly influence Nature.

There is also a physical explanation for the influence of sounds on a person and the surrounding space. Sound is high frequency vibrations. In the brain, these vibrations are converted into electromagnetic vibrations. In addition, the sound wave causes space curvature, thereby generating torsion fields.

All sounds are divided into noises and tones. Sounds with periodic vibrations are tones, and those with non-periodic vibrations are noises. In speech, only vowel sounds are tones, all consonants are mixed with noise.

If you look at the spectrogram, you can see that vowel sounds have greater amplitude and energy. It turns out that the more vowels there are in the ABC, the greater the energy of the language, and therefore the energy of the people.

For comparison: in the Old Russian language there were 19 vowels. And now it’s 10. The energy of the language and people has almost halved. Who needed it? And they are trying to remove another vowel letter from the ABC - the letter E. It is simply omitted when writing. As if this is how it should be.

And further. Each vowel sound has its own color. Because color is also vibrations, waves. For example,

"A" is red

"E" - light green,

"I" - blue,

"O" is yellow.

"U" - green,

"Y" - brown,

"E" - orange,

"Yu" - turquoise,

“I” is pink-red.

Together with color, vowel sounds affect our internal organs, since each organ operates at a certain frequency. It is not for nothing that Indian mantras contain almost all vowel sounds. And chanting them is beneficial for the body.

It is important to know your language, your history, the images behind the letters. And how important it is not just to say words. And put bright positive images into them. It will make your life immeasurably richer.

People use the word very carelessly, throw it in the wind, break it and remake it without thinking. Some Words are lost and simply forgotten. Many Words are aimed at the destruction of man, his soul.

Only Man is given the right to choose - to create or destroy. We have been given from birth the most precious gift - the gift of the Word. This gift must be used to its fullest.

“Do Russians know that June 6 is Russian Language Day? They don’t even know what the Russian language is!”

On May 24, all Slavic countries solemnly celebrated “Day Slavic writing and culture." - this year the 1150th anniversary of the creation of Slavic writing was celebrated. In most other cities it started on Friday, May 24, on the Day of Remembrance of Saints Cyril and Methodius. They are generally recognized as the creators of the Slavic alphabet. In total, everything was planned conduct more than 500 programs and events, in which more than 350 thousand people will take part - school students, visitors to cultural and recreation parks.
However, "Russian spirit" lives not in magnificent spectacular crowds, not in man-made scriptures, not in the strange borders of divided Slavic powers that periodically arise due to the ambitions of temporary rulers, he lives in the very heart of each of us who bears the glorious name Rusich.
Modern literary Russian, due to the intensification of the Byzantine religion in Muscovy (since the reign of the Romanovs in the 17th century), has partially “moved away” from the figurative language that existed back in the 15th-16th centuries. and which was spoken by all of Europe(!). However, it (in general, this happens with the state standardization of any existing dialect or the introduction of a distorted language, which was Church Slavonic in Moscow Rus'), still retained the foundations for the completeness of the beneficial life of its speakers. What happened.., When and Why, you ask? Let's figure it out together.

...In an era of mass movements, there is a confusion of languages. “Illiterate”, “natural”, “topic” speech poured en masse into the press, on television, into clerical circulation, etc. and simply overwhelmed the existing literary norm. The language itself is changing, and we are witnessing the fact that “deterioration becomes the norm.”
We were taught that language evolves. In relation to literary language, this means that one becomes more sensitive to distinguishing semantic and stylistic nuances. For example, “beautiful” has one meaning, “elegantly” another, and “gracefully” a third. Suppose that in the 19th century, instead of these words, they would have said the word “super”. Or instead of evaluative words and even statements - the interjection “wow!” The plot of one film is retold by one boy to another: “And he’s just peum-peum, and this one is jukh!”

Now, in the age of the Internet, many new words have appeared - “neologisms” - “glamorous-chic, luxurious, “anti-Barbie” - about a plump girl who does not correspond to the type of girls who are called “Barbie” due to her resemblance to the doll (since 2004 .), “Gothic” – excellent (since 2005). This is nothing yet. How do you like these “expressions” (they were first used in the language of sms on mobile phones and inter-comments on the Internet for brevity and speed, and now many people simply “speak” in this language - “Albanian”.
“Albany” slang is the language of “bastards”, in which young people (and not only others) often communicate lately. “Bastards – glamorous and pretentious, positive and not so positive.
“PREVED; MEDVED; KHARASHO DANCE; SEMPOTA; GY-Y-Y; BURN; KROSOVCHEG; AFFTOR BURN; PREV, TEACHER; SMOKING CHICK – ACTOY; NORMUL; CHIC; CONFIDENT; CREATIVE! 4TO ZA 4mo; zachot – All this is “Albanian” slang, i.e. some tiny part.
The appearance of this “Albanian” language is not accidental. This is probably a peculiar reaction of the body to gray, illiterate speech. Fortunately, we have a reliable shield - the unforgettable Ellochka (from “The Twelve Chairs” by I. Ilf and E. Petrov), who was funny, because knew only 30 words.
Let us remember that until now Russian language remains the most figurative and poetic among all linguistic diversity.

ABOUT RUSSIAN WORDS
/ /

Over the fields of growing grain,
Burned up like a dawn fire
Horizon. From Earth to Heaven
Rus' is filled with the Living Word.

There are many wonderful words in the Russian language,
Our speech flows like silver.
People Live Here, Knowing God,
And they say Good with love.

After all, Love is the basis of our Life,
Rus' is full of unprecedented miracles.
Glory to the Prophetic Russian Word -
To the Life-Giving Word of Heaven!

At Lukomorye– from the poem “Ruslan and Lyudmila” by A.S. Pushkin:

...Even now the Russian language truly possesses cosmic possibilities - we would only like to preserve this wealth from alien interference in the sacred treasures of literature.

At one of the symposia, four linguists met: an Englishman, a German, an Italian and a Russian. The conversation turned to languages. They began to argue, whose language is more beautiful, better, richer, and to which language does the future belong?

The Englishman said: “England is a country of great conquerors, sailors and travelers who spread the glory of its language to all corners of the world. English language- the language of Shakespeare, Dickens, Byron - undoubtedly best language in the world".

“Nothing like that,” said the German, “Our language is the language of science and physics, medicine and technology. The language of Kant and Hegel, the language in which it is written best work world poetry - “Faust” by Goethe.”

“You are both wrong,” the Italian entered into the argument, “Think, the whole world, all of humanity loves music, songs, romances, operas! What language are the best love romances and brilliant operas in? In the language of sunny Italy!

The Russian was silent for a long time, listened modestly and finally said: “Of course, I could also say, like each of you, that the Russian language - the language of Pushkin, Tolstoy, Turgenev, Chekhov - is superior to all the languages ​​of the world. But I won't follow your path. Tell me, could you compose in your languages short story with a plot, with a consistent development of the plot, so that all the words in the story begin with the same letter?”

This greatly puzzled the interlocutors and all three said: “No, this is impossible in our languages.” Then the Russian replies: “But in our language this is quite possible, and I will now prove it to you. Name any letter." The German replied: “It doesn’t matter. The letter "P", for example."

“Great, here’s a story for you with this letter,” answered the Russian.

Pyotr Petrovich Petukhov, lieutenant of the fifty-fifth Podolsk Infantry Regiment, received a letter by mail full of pleasant wishes. “Come,” wrote the lovely Polina Pavlovna Perepelkina, “let’s talk, dream, dance, take a walk, visit a half-forgotten, half-overgrown pond, go fishing. Come, Pyotr Petrovich, to stay as soon as possible.”
Petukhov liked the proposal. I figured: I’ll come. I grabbed a half-worn field cloak and thought: this will come in handy.
The train arrived after noon. Pyotr Petrovich was received by Polina Pavlovna’s most respected father, Pavel Panteleimonovich. “Please, Pyotr Petrovich, sit down more comfortably,” said dad. A bald nephew came up and introduced himself: “Porfiry Platonovich Polikarpov. Please, please."
The lovely Polina appeared. A transparent Persian scarf covered her full shoulders. We talked, joked, and invited us to lunch. They served dumplings, pilaf, pickles, liver, pate, pies, and cake. We had a hearty lunch. Pyotr Petrovich felt pleasantly satiated.
After eating, after a hearty snack, Polina Pavlovna invited Pyotr Petrovich to take a walk in the park. In front of the park stretched a half-forgotten, half-overgrown pond. We went sailing. After swimming in the pond we went for a walk in the park.
“Let’s sit down,” suggested Polina Pavlovna. Sit down. Polina Pavlovna moved closer. We sat and were silent. The first kiss sounded. Pyotr Petrovich got tired, offered to lie down, laid out his half-worn field raincoat, and thought: it would come in handy. We lay down, rolled around, fell in love. “Pyotr Petrovich is a prankster, a scoundrel,” Polina Pavlovna said habitually.
“Let’s get married, let’s get married!” whispered the bald nephew. “Let’s get married, let’s get married,” the father approached in a deep voice. Pyotr Petrovich turned pale, staggered, then ran away. As I ran, I thought: “Polina Petrovna is a wonderful match, I’m really excited.”
The prospect of receiving a beautiful estate flashed before Pyotr Petrovich. I hastened to send an offer. Polina Pavlovna accepted the proposal and later got married. Friends came to congratulate us and brought gifts. Handing over the package, they said: “Wonderful couple.”

The linguist interlocutors, having heard the story, were forced to admit that Russian language is the best and richest language in the world!

...Each reader is free to determine for himself, according to his Conscience, what is closer to Truth-Truth: the official historical myth about the Russian People (which is now bursting at the seams, living out its last years), or what other sources testify to. At different times there were always people, be they foreigners (Fadey Wolanski, burned at the stake by Polish clergymen from his own books “Monuments of Slavic Literature before the Nativity of Christ”; Mavro Orbini - Italian historian, who in 1601 wrote a study entitled “The Book of Historiography of the Beginning of the Name, glory and expansion of the Slavic people and their Kings and Rulers under many names and with many Kingdoms, Kingdoms and Provinces..."), or Russian researchers (V.N. Tatishchev, M.V. Lomonosov, E.I. Klassen P P. Oreshkin, M. L. Seryakov, G. S. Grinevich, V. M. Kandyba, O. M. Gusev, K. K. Bystrushkin), convincingly and strictly scientifically showing in their works that the true past of the Russian People goes back thousands of years.
It is precisely this view of the history of the Russian People, (and therefore the history of all humanity), that allows us to consider the history of mankind not as a movement from savagery to civilization, as official history teaches, but quite the opposite: from Unity with the World and God to complete savagery and self-destruction, from the Unified Language of the feelings of the Soul, to the unified language of mind-logic, from Conscience and Justice to legalized domination, from will to captivity.

Let’s start with an excerpt from O. Gusev’s work “The Magic of the Russian Name”:

"...To declare that the Russian people before the adoption of Christianity were “unliterate and uncultured” means recognizing them as incapable of developing their own philosophical and worldview concept in their views on the world, on the processes occurring in Space. How then did it survive on Earth? Orthodox philosophers teach: ancient Slavic language(and after it the Russian language) is “an artificial language created thanks to the genius of two peoples: the Greeks and the Jews.” Isn’t Christianity taking on too much? The peoples of the yellow race, for example, did without Christianity and have their own view of the world. Maybe a thousand years ago we Russians were at least on an equal footing with them in terms of our intellectual development? Is the idea of ​​the Arabs, Chinese, and Indians about the universe contained in Arabic, Chinese, and Indian languages? Yes, it's included. Any linguist will tell you this. Why don’t we hear anything that the same thing is inherent in the Russian language? Just as Arabic, Chinese and all other languages ​​of the world have nothing to do with the “genius of two peoples: the Greeks and the Jews,” the great Russian language also has nothing to do with this “genius”...

As for Rus', then, V.N. Tatishchev claims, we “had letters for a very long time, because before Rurik there was a written law... Oleg mentions in the agreement with the Greeks about letters and letters for travelers...” ... we are surprised We read that world Slavic studies have long established the fact that the Russians had their own written language before they adopted Christianity. The debate is about whether we had a literary language and literature. Some researchers are convinced that our pre-Christian books were written in simple and understandable language, not much different from modern colloquial... . But why is “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” also written incomprehensibly? Maybe the author of “The Lay...” used not a colloquial, but a literary “language” that had already been finally established by the time of his life, imposed by the reformers of the “enlightenment of the Slavs”? Then V.N. Tatishchev, M.V. Lomonosov, V. Trediakovsky, V. Zhukovsky, K. Batyushkov, and most importantly, A.S. Pushkin and V.I. Dal saved our literary language from the “gift” of Cyril and Methodius !?".

Here it is important for us to show that it was not the Greeks, Jews and Romans who brought us enlightenment, thereby leading us out of a state of savagery. Quite the opposite. The Russian People have always brought a beacon of knowledge to other peoples, after the once united human community broke up into many peoples, tribes and nationalities, which at the same time forgot the common language and writing, and to varying degrees fell into the state of the so-called “primitive communal system.” Another thing is that the Russian People themselves failed to fully resist the forces destroying humanity and there was a constant splitting off from the Russian Tree of certain families and clans, which, as they moved away from it, distorted both their language and worldview. The last such split was the splitting of the Rus into the steppe, Polabian, Pomeranian, Gorodets and Siversk. The Steppe people are now known as Ukrainians, the Polabs as Yugoslavs, the Pomeranians were destroyed during crusades, the Gorodets partially formed the Belarusians, and partially, together with the Sivertsy, formed the current Russian people. There were earlier divisions, but this is separate work. But the example of the Slavic division of the Rus shows how this happened earlier. For us, it is important to show that it was the Russian People who enlightened the Greeks and Romans, since then it becomes clear why they subsequently needed to distort history (the genuine earthly ones were), to the point of “the opposite.”

...Unique archaeological finds in Kemerovo region lead to the idea that there once existed a developed civilization that gave rise to the Slavic tribes and the Russian language.

Program "Live Topic" – ABC of Ancestors (2013):

I want to be a god today
To speak in a high style,
And speak like Lomonosov,
About the antiquity of the Great Russians.

How many times have we been buried?
In the hope that they have finally finished off,
How the vile gloated,
But no! Holy Rus' stands!

And you can't break us that easily,
You'll deceive, yes, but you won't crush.
And let troubles befall us,
We will still experience the taste of Victory!

“The Tale of Bygone Years” is the oldest officially recognized chronicle. Disputes about Nestor and whether he wrote it are still ongoing.

Reading Nestor

I don’t think that I will violate the “copyright” of the chronicle if I post a link to it.

So, we will talk about the year 6406.

“When the Slavs were already baptized, their princes Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel sent to Tsar Michael, saying: “Our land is baptized, but we have no teacher who would instruct us and teach us, and explain the holy books. After all, we do not know either Greek or Latin; Some teach us this way, and others teach us differently, so we don’t know either the shape of the letters or their meaning. And send us teachers who could interpret for us the words of the books and their meaning.”

Hearing this, Tsar Michael summoned all the philosophers and conveyed to them everything that the Slavic princes had said. And the philosophers said: “In Seluni there is a man named Leo. He has sons who know the Slavic language; His two sons are skilled philosophers.” Hearing about this, the king sent for them to Leo in Selun with the words: “Send your sons Methodius and Constantine to us without delay.”

Hearing about this, Leo soon sent them, and they came to the king, and he said to them: “Behold, the Slavic land sent ambassadors to me, asking for a teacher who could interpret the sacred books for them, for this is what they want.” And the king persuaded them and sent them to the Slavic land to Rostislav, Svyatopolk and Kotsel. When (these brothers) arrived, they began to compile the Slavic alphabet and translated the Apostle and the Gospel. And the Slavs were glad that they heard about the greatness of God in their language. Then they translated the Psalter and Octoechos and other books. Some began to blaspheme the Slavic books, saying that “no people should have their own alphabet, except the Jews, Greeks and Latins, according to the inscription of Pilate, who wrote on the cross of the Lord only in these languages.”

Nestor writes that there were two men from Seluni who knew the Slavic language and were sent to compile the Slavic alphabet in order to translate the Apostle and the Gospel to the locals, since no one knows Greek and Latin and “from this we know neither the outline of the letters nor their meaning "

We read on Wikipedia: “The first translations of the Bible into Russian were published at the beginning of the 19th century. Before this, only Church Slavonic translations of the Bible, dating back to the translation works of Cyril and Methodius, were used in church and home use. By decree of Empress Elizabeth, a carefully corrected Church Slavonic Bible, the so-called “Elizabethan”, was published in 1751 (work on this edition began back in 1712 by decree of Peter I)... In 1815, after returning from abroad, Emperor Alexander I commanded “to provide Russians with a way to read the Word of God in their natural Russian language...”.

It was only in 1876, already under Alexander the Second, that the complete Russian Bible came out of print for the first time.

The clergy itself prevented the release of the sacred texts to the people. It was believed that the Bible should be in the hands of the clergy, and the people should not be given the opportunity to read and study it on their own. This is understandable to those who have read the Bible.

Let's rewind. The clergy opposes the Slavs being able to read the Bible on their own. At least from 1712 to 1876, sabotage work was carried out in order to “cover up” this matter: for 164 years from the date of Peter’s decree, allegedly fearing another church schism; during the 61st year from the date of the issuance of the decree of Alexander I on its translation into Russian, allegedly wanting to comply with everything thoroughly and as accurately as possible in the translation.

But first, Methodius and Constantine are sent to the Slavs to translate the texts. Moreover, the Slavs already live baptized, that is, they believed in Christ and performed church rites, but, due to ignorance of other languages, they did not read the Bible, and not only did they not read, but it turns out to be nonsense - they did not know anything about Christ, since they asked Tsar Michael send at least someone “to interpret the words of the books and their meaning.”

One could assume that someone who knew the Bible could preach it to the Slavs, but what then does “...Our land is baptized, but we have no teacher...” mean? If no one had preached it before, then how could Rus' be baptized? And who are these “...some teach us this way, and others teach us differently...”?

Official version

This remark is interesting: “..even before baptism (988) there were churches in Rus', and the Bible was read in the translation of the brothers-apostles...” What language was it translated into and in what alphabet was it read “even before baptism”?

The complete chronology is as follows:

1. Bible of Cyril and Methodius- translations of Cyril and Methodius became widespread among Slavic tribes, including in Rus'.
2. Gennady Bible- some books of the Gennadian Bible were borrowed from the Bible translated by Cyril and Methodius and from Russian translations made in the 15th century, others from its Bulgarian translation, and several books were translated from Latin for the first time. The Gennadian Bible is considered the first complete Slavic Bible.
3. Maxim the Greek (Explanatory Psalter)- in the handwritten books of the Bible has accumulated a large number of errors. Therefore, in the first half of the 16th century, an attempt was made in Moscow to correct church books.
4. The first printed “Apostle” and the Ostrog Bible by Ivan Fedorov. - Ivan Fedorov, together with Pyotr Mstislavets, began creating the first printed book “Apostle” (Acts of the Apostles and Epistles).
5. Moscow early printed Bible- Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich ordered to send several educated monks to correct the Russian Bible according to the Greek copies, which, together with Nikon’s innovations, leads, by the way, to a church schism.
6. Petrine-Elizabethan Bible.
7. New Testament of the Russian Bible Society- it was decided to begin translating the Bible into modern Russian, but in 1825 Alexander I died, and work on the translation was suspended until 1856.
8. And finally, the Synodal translation of the Bible- The Holy Synod adopted a resolution to begin translating the Bible into Russian. Read more about the history of Bible translation.

Inconsistencies in the official version

Cyril (Constantine) and Methodius “began to compile the Slavic alphabet and translated the Apostle and the Gospel,” but they translated and compiled them in such a way that the Slavs still could not read this - this is understandable. And it is ridiculous to talk about widespread distribution among the tribes here, because it is precisely in the idea that only the chosen ones, in this case, the clergy, can bear the Word of the Lord, and this was diligently observed all the time until 1876. And even today, since the church stubbornly “mumbles” services in the old church language, supposedly Cyril and Methodius, but in fact it turns out in a language derived, as it were, from Greek.

By the way, churchmen believe that the Russian language was formed by the Church Slavonic language!

So, if Cyril and Methodius created a truly understandable alphabet, then there would simply be no need to translate into Russian, as well as to diligently postpone the translation into the normal language of the Bible.

And here there is an obvious substitution: not the Russian language came from Old Church Slavonic, but the alphabet of Constantine and Methodius - from Russian. Moreover, if these guys really existed once in history, the task was not to invent an alphabet for stupid Rus, but to introduce a language that was understandable only to a minority, but made it difficult for the majority to become familiar with the Bible. And, according to Nestor, even this caused a lot of discontent, because “no people should have their own alphabet except the Jews, Greeks and Latins.”

Life of Constantine (Cyril)

“...For Rostislav, the Moravian prince, instructed by God, having consulted with the princes and Moravans, sent to Caesar Michael to say: “Our people rejected paganism and followed the Christian teaching, but we do not have such a teacher who would explain the Christian faith to us in our language, so that other countries, seeing this, become like us. Send us, Vladyka, such a bishop and teacher. After all, good law always comes from you to all countries."

“...The Tsar gathered a council, called Constantine the Philosopher and let him listen to these words. And he said: “Philosopher, I know that you are tired, but it is fitting for you to go there. After all, no one else can do this job like you.” The Philosopher answered: “Both the tired in body and the sick will gladly go there if they have writing for their language.” The emperor told him: “My grandfather and my father and many others tried to find them, but they did not find them. So how can I find it? And the Philosopher said: “Who can record a conversation on the water or wants to acquire the nickname of a heretic?” The Tsar answered him again, and with Varda, his uncle: “If you want, then God can give you what he gives to everyone who asks without a doubt and opens to everyone who knocks.” The Philosopher went and, according to his previous custom, turned to prayer together with other helpers. And soon God appeared to him, listening to the prayers of his servants. And then he composed letters and began to write the words of the Gospel: “In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and God was the word,” and so on...

Delving deeper into the topic, it turns out that there is not even a firm opinion who these guys Cyril and Methodius were. Either Slavs, or Greeks, or Bulgarians. Yes, and Cyril is not Cyril, but Constantine, and Methodius (in Greek, “following the trail”, “searching”) is Michael. But who cares?

This is what is important: “My grandfather and my father and many others tried to find them, but they did not find them,” says Tsar Michael about the Slavic alphabet. Is this true? Let's look again at Wikipedia to see what there is on the topic of “Glagolitics”.

Glagolitic

“The Glagolitic alphabet is one of the first Slavic alphabet. It is assumed that it was the Glagolitic alphabet that was created by the Slavic enlightener St. Konstantin (Kirill) Philosopher for recording church texts in Old Church Slavonic."

Oops! This means that the Glagolitic alphabet was created to record church texts! For those who are not in the know, I recommend seeing what it looked like...

Correct me if Glagolitic is in any way similar to Greek or any other known language. Except that the letters “Yat” and “Shta” are the same as in the Slavic alphabet. And, if the Glagolitic alphabet was created by Cyril and Methodius, then why doesn’t our church adhere to the Glagolitic alphabet? And how, tell me, did the Glagolitic alphabet become the letters we know, for example, as Nestor wrote?

This whole version of appropriating someone else’s property, which is found everywhere among these comrades who like to derive everything from Adam, is bursting at the seams. Even Wikipedia is unable to support this nonsense and further writes: “ Whole line facts indicate that the Glagolitic alphabet was created before the Cyrillic alphabet, and that, in turn, was created on the basis of the Glagolitic alphabet and the Greek alphabet.”

So so so! Wait, not so fast. Either Vasya, or not Vasya! It’s like: “My grandfather and my father, and many others tried to find them, but they did not find them,” says Tsar Michael, but at the same time, Cyril and Methodius compose the Slavic alphabet based on the Glagolitic alphabet? Suddenly found? One could assume that the Glagolitic alphabet has nothing to do with the Slavs, and just like the Greek alphabet, for some reason it was taken as the basis for writing the Slavic alphabet. But this version “doesn’t work”, since the Glagolitic alphabet is actually the modern Russian language! Having learned the symbols, you can read these texts quite well, since the words there are Russian/Slavic. Try to at least translate the title of the Zograf Gospel above using this table and you will see for yourself that this is a Russian text.

I have, however, another assumption that the Glagolitic alphabet is based on the Slavic language, like, say, a church crypto-language, and was distributed among a narrow group of Slavs, for example, Bulgarians, but never received widespread use.

Features and cuts

In the Ryazan museum, I saw with my own eyes a sinker from a spindle, on which it was written with these features that the sinker belonged to so-and-so.

That is, the spinner, or whoever she was, in time immemorial, in old Ryazan signed her things, which means that other spinners had to also be able to read! The spinners sat down to spin yarn in one hut, worked, sang songs, and so that the next day no one would “stolen” their goods, or, in order not to simply look for them, they would sign where theirs was. If the spinning wheels themselves had different patterns and were noticeable to the eye, then it wouldn’t be stupid to sign such little things.

If Cyril and Methodius did not write the Slavic language from scratch, then Nestor either made a slight mistake or concocted in advance not a chronicle, but a dummy, and maybe not even him.

Why such a stubborn rejection of even accepting the possibility of the existence of writing in Rus' and a passionate desire to derive the Russian alphabet from Greek? Did Nestor accidentally let it slip here, pointing out that “No people should have their own alphabet, except the Jews, Greeks and Latins”?
