🎙 Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov at an interview with Channel One’s Bolshaya Igra (Great Game) political talk show (Moscow, December 18, 2023):
💬 President Putin provided a detailed and clear overview of the current phase of confrontation with the West.
☝️ We are well aware of the fact (as we made it clear many years ago) that all of this is not about Ukraine but about containing Russia. Kiev was used as a tool to pose permanent military threats to the Russian Federation and to eradicate our influence to the extent of destroying Russian traditions, language, culture, and even ethnic Russians physically.
The Zelensky regime officials proudly confessed this.

📆 Slavonic Alphabet and Culture Day a.k.a. the Cyril and Methodius Day is observed today in Russia and some other Slavic countries to honour the memory of Saints Cyril and Methodius – Byzanthine missionaries, who are known to have devised the Glagolitic script – the first Slavic alphabet.
🔤 The Glagolitic alphabet was replaced by the Cyrillic alphabet as long ago as IX century. Based on the Greek alphabet, the Cyrillic script is derived from the Greek uncial script, augmented by letters from the Glagolitic alphabet, including some ligatures.
☦️ Eventually the new script became the basis of alphabets used in various languages, especially those of Orthodox Slavic origin, and non-Slavic languages influenced by Russian.
Today, it is used as the national script in various Slavic, Turkic, Mongolic and Iranic-speaking countries in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, Central Asia and Northern Asia.
