Some Orthodox Christians then nominated Moscow as the third Rome. Russia was called for a period of time "The Third Rome."
The Cyrillic alphabet was introduced by the Byzantine missionaries Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century to write the Old Church Slavonic language. It is named after Cyril, and the script has since been modified and adopted for numerous languages, including Russian, Bulgarian, Serbian, and Ukrainian.
