An open letter to the Doctor of Philology, Professor of the Russian Language Department of the Samara State University, a leading specialist in the field of Slavic comparative linguistics of the Samara State Academy, teachers of history, languages and culture of the Slavic peoples "The Slavic World: Faith and Culture", one of the main organizers of the "Cyril - Methodius readings”, co-chairman of the International Scientific and Practical Conference Karpenko Lyudmila Borisovna.
Dear Lyudmila Borisovna!
… From your heartfelt words I want to cry and cry with emotion for the truly selfless "scientific" activity of you and your associates from philology. Just one quote is worth: “Having made up his mind, the Philosopher (meaning Cyril, the creator of the Cyrillic alphabet - ed.), According to custom, first got up to prayer together with his companions. And soon God revealed everything to him, hearing the prayers of His servants. And then he folded the alphabet and began to write down the Gospel text."
Why not a real "scientific" pearl, the likes of which in our time of returning to the past is difficult to find. Yes, and the reason is weighty - of course, while the Byzantine and Roman civilizations shone with their perfection, the Slavs remained stupid, wild barbarians, they hated their fellow tribesmen so much that they strove to live separately - just not to look at each other once again from envy, anger, spiritual emptiness and powerlessness. Okay, though God finally heard the calls of our holy pastor Kirill, who prayed for their salvation. And if I hadn't heard …
Therefore, having read with great interest a number of your materials available to me about the emergence of two writing systems among the Slavs - Cyrillic and Glagolitic, I would like to draw your attention to a number of extremely important points:
1. A self-respecting modern researcher in his activities, first of all, should be guided by the so-called "zero Newton's law". Newton never hid his sincere attitude towards Christianity and was a good Catholic. At the same time, he understood perfectly well: God is God, Caesar is Caesar, and locksmith is locksmith.
In other words, do not mix up God's gift and eggs, science and religion in one heap. This is how the formulation of the "zero law" sounds, which he himself repeatedly noted in his statements: "Where there is a sphere of physical interactions, the sphere of action of divine providence ends there."
Therefore, it is recommended that the tale of Cyril's acquisition of writing from the Lord God himself be proclaimed from the pulpit for the narrow-minded and overwhelmed by need and poverty of fellow citizens, who in this life have nothing else to hope for except God's mercy. To pupils arriving on the order for your lectures, thirsting for real knowledge to bring benefit to Russia, I would advise them not to fill up their "tanks with empty chatter" anymore.

2 … Science and religion are very similar to each other in the sphere of world outlook, but only religion is when the living begin to think about their impending death, and science is when mortals begin to think about the upcoming life of their descendants. That's the whole difference, which is extremely easy to cross without even noticing it.
In addition to purely practical applications, himatria also has a magical one: people who believe in numerology (the magic of numbers) add up the numerical values of the letters that make up a name or word, trying to find a special mystical meaning in the resulting number.
So, Lyudmila Borisovna - the numerical value of letters, due to the inherent magic of numbers, is an extremely conservative system. For one very prosaic reason - before becoming a writing system, symbols, and here we mean the symbols of the Glagolitic alphabet, which we call linguistic, from the beginning could and represented a carefully worked out counting - trade - distribution system.
The Slavs actively manifest themselves in history already in the first centuries AD, famous for their trade in furs, lead, skins, honey, etc. How could they trade without an account and not burn out - the mind is incomprehensible?
What is called the "Hebrew script" was formerly the "Phoenician numeration system", which consisted of 22 characters. Both the Jews and the Greeks from the Phoenicians, initially - without any changes, took this system into their use. But if the Jews still have only 22 basic symbols in the alphabet, the ancient Greeks added a few more symbols to the available 22 symbols. Accordingly, they gave the added symbols such numerical values, which in the Phoenician and Hebrew letters were written in the form of "number ligatures".
If we talk about Glagolitic, then this is a purely Slavic invention, although it was made not without the participation of an "alien element", including Jews …
… let's turn specifically to the numerical values of the two Slavic alphabets. As a comparative material, you are provided with the three most used alphabets in the Slavic environment - Cyrillic, angular (angular) and round (obliy) glagolitic:
Cyrillic numerical value of letters:
Uglata glagoljica:
Obla glagoljica:
Besides, in fact, the Cyrillic alphabet, as well as the Croatian and Serbian verbs, I also have numerical values of "blaten", i.e. Bosnian Glagolitic, as well as Old Believer Glagolitic - from the Solikamsk Old Believer Center.
Now about the conclusions from this review:
1) - all the numerical values of all the varieties of Glagolitic presented and in mind are absolutely similar to each other, which once again confirms their sacralized nature due to their expression of numbers, numbers and dates, which, by the way, are used in a single, but common for all scripts " Psalms "when indicating the numbers of the psalms.
2) - the numerical values of the Cyrillic alphabet are absolutely adequate to the numerical values of the solemn Byzantine uncial charter and ancient Greek writing (within its 26 characters);
3) - a comparative analysis of the numerical values of the Cyrillic and Glagolitic alphabet shows that only 3 (three characters) out of 43 Cyrillic and 40 Glagolitic have the same numerical value.
This means:
1. Cyril and his followers were physically unable to create two Slavic alphabets in such a short historical period of time, especially with different numerical values due to the discrepancy between the numerical values of the letters. …
2. All attempts to impose on the Russian-speaking environment the opinion that only thanks to the cultivation of Byzantine Orthodoxy among the Slavs, the last of the barbarians were transformed into civilized people, are primarily associated with ignorance of the actual situation, with the inability of individuals to consider the acquisition of writing by the Slavs, taking into account all mediation, and represents a banal insult to the Slavs in general, and the Russian people in particular.
5. Although modern historical science does not have final conclusions about the ancestral home of the "Rus", nevertheless, the existence of the Ancient Eurasian Trade and Economic Community is confirmed by the simultaneous existence of "Transcaucasian Rus" with its center in Derbent, "Varangian Rus" in northern Europe, "Donsko - Kuban Rus "(in the 7th and early 8th centuries its capital Semender stood on the banks of the Terek River)," Black Sea Rus "with centers in Chersonesos, Olbia and Kerch," Croatian - Serbian - Carpathian Rus "with centers in Rashke and the city of Split, as well as "Cretan Rus", which covered most of the islands in the eastern part of the Mediterranean Sea and a significant territory of "Asia Minor" and even "Baghdad Rus - diaspora".
This fact is recorded by numerous written sources, so it makes no sense to deny it. Additional information about “Rus” is reported by Sergei Vyacheslavovich Perevezentsev in the book “Ancient Rus”: “In addition, some kind of“Rus”(“Ruzzika”) was part of the Vandal kingdom in North Africa."
All this speaks of the wide distribution among the Russians of such occupations as trade and the slave trade, which, as you know, do not happen without various kinds of accounting operations.
6. No speech in "real science" should be about different kinds of "proto-rillian" and "proto-glagolitics". If in the cultural layer of the 5-7 centuries in different places of the Crimea, namely, in Olbia, Kerch and Chersonesos, almost all the symbols of the "Glagolitic" are found, this can only mean that they could initially be used for counting, and not spontaneous counting, but already completely by that time systematized, decimal, because not systematized counting can lead to errors in calculations.
7. The scarcity of glagolitic artifacts is quite understandable, given the fact that the Glagolitic alphabet was of a closed, commercial nature. In many sources it is called “trade letter”. For comparison, the Hebraic linguists before 1947, i.e. Before the discovery of the Qumran scrolls, the only sources confirming the existence of writing among the Jews were only two or three copies of the Old Testament dating from the end of the 9th to the beginning of the 10th century and several leaves of the Samaritan divine scripture dating from the beginning of the 6th century. AND EVERYTHING. But at the same time, the entire world, including the Russian scientific philological community, believed that the Jews had deep centuries-old roots in their alphabet.
And at the moment in the hands of Russian and Slavic linguists there is a huge pile of palimpsests that cannot be dated, the lower layer of which is the glagolic text, genuine "Kiev sheets", Crimean glagolic petroglyphs of the 5th - 7th centuries, and many other evidences. In addition, it is necessary to remember separately about one more fact that is withheld by the ROC. This refers to the sending in the middle of the 17th century to Mount Athos, almost all Moscow manuscript books, consisting of both Cyrillic and Glagolitic texts for correction. When sending books to Athos, it was especially emphasized that not Greek, but Moscow handwritten books should be taken as a model. Claims of this kind naturally did not meet with the sympathy of the Greeks. In the middle of the 17th century. The Russian people were shocked by the news of the complete burning of all Moscow Glagolic and Cyrillic liturgical books brought to Athos. Obviously, the flames from these books were exactly the same, for example, from the bonfires from books burned before the Reichstag by the Nazis. Nevertheless, the Council of 1654 approved the innovations and made changes to the divine services."
Historical information testifies to the "methods of circulation" used in the preservation of our historical monuments, and without any misinterpretations explains the real reason for the absence of "true historical primary sources" of our history. At the same time, not at all embarrassed by the fact that "thanks" to the Byzantines, Russia has forever lost almost completely its Glagolitic texts, dear Lyudmila Borisovna, do you seriously assert that the Russians acquired writing only after 988? And from whom - from the people, whose cunning, cunning and ingratiating themselves became in the Ancient World “a parable in the tongues”?
Are the available facts not enough to create an adequate opinion about Glagolitic? …
….
12. In 967, the Pope, appointing his first bishop (bishop) for Prague, wrote: "The divine service should be performed not according to the rituals of the Bulgarian or Russian or Slavic language, but according to the statutes of the Roman Church." The question is, what kind of "Russian language" in 967 we are talking about, if Kievan Rus, according to the logic of things, along with its baptism in 988, received from the Byzantines the same notorious "Slavic language - Cyrillic" (the same as the Great Moravians in 863), which is considered to be "Russian" in Russian philology? Could it be that the Czechs before the Kievites, judging by the context of the pope's message, had the opportunity to send and send their rituals earlier according to the “Russian canons” and in the “Russian language”, knowing in advance about the impending creation of the first Russian state in 125 years - Kievan Rus? Or did the black man Brave screw up,having written in his treatise "On Writings": "before the Slavs did not have their own written language, there were trash creatures, but the features and cuts of the Chitaakhu and Gadaakhu", considering in passing, due to the lack of accurate information of the Russians by the same Slavs?
In this regard, the following questions are inevitable:
a) are the Russians really not such Slavs?;
b) - are the lines and cuts just the very same Glagolitic alphabet - the Russian alphabet?;
c) - is the Glagolitic alphabet the very same old Russian runes (in Polish "rune" - groove, slot, scratch), which both Slavs and Russians could guess and consider?
d) - are the Old Russian glagolic runes really the very letters called "Russian"? And the old books, written in Glagolitic, discovered in the Czech Republic and in the rest of the Slavic world, are they genuine examples of runic writing - this very - the most "Russian language" of all Russians?
13. THE MOST IMPORTANT - according to the information “In the beginning was the Word …” S. V. Perevezentseva, published in the journal “Podyom”, the DOGMAT OF TRILINGUAL was initiated by the previously mentioned Seville Bishop (who is listed in Christian literature as the first creator of Catholic canon law) Isidore Selvinsky. The question is - why exactly in the seventh century, during the years of the baptism of the South Slavs, did the Croat appear this most notorious DOGMAT OF TRILINGUAL? What language (more precisely, writing) was this dogma directed against, if, according to a number of "narrow-minded" scientists, the Slavs did not have their own written language until 863? Was Isidor Selvinsky really the greatest soothsayer, having foreseen, more than 220 years before Kirill created the alphabet, that this very "Dogma of Trilingualism" would be the main argument against its use?
In pursuit of another important question from LR Prozorov, directly related to the "Western" baptism of the Slavs - why the overwhelming number of church concepts of Russian Orthodoxy, including "cross", "altar", "churches", "pop", "Heretic", "rotten" clearly resemble the German-Gothic "kreutz" (from the Latin "Christos"), the Latin "altarium", the German-Gothic "kirche" (from the Latin "circus"), the German-Gothic "pappe" (from the Latin "papa"), Latin "hereticus", "paganus". And do they not at all resemble the Greek correspondences "stauros", "bomos", "basilica", "priest", "heterodox", "ethnics"?
Is it because the "Gospel" and "Psalter", discovered by Cyril in Chersonesos, written in "Russian letters", were such an "impressive translation" of the "Gothic letters of Ulfilla" into "Russian" that the Byzantines had nothing left in the subsequent processing, how to leave these and many other Christian concepts unchanged, i.e. in the West - Gothic - Latin version? It was the Gothic letters (for reference - the Gothic language belongs to the East Germanic languages, ed. Note) were circulated both in the Crimea, and, obviously, in some territories of "ancestral Rus", since the Goths captured these territories in the 3rd century the adoption of Christianity (Arianism) by these same Goths happened at almost the same time. Therefore, the Byzantines, no matter how much they wanted it,but by the time of the "imaginary Christianization of Kievan Rus by Prince Vladimir in 988" they could not impose "Greek concepts" in any way, since the Slavic population had, in fact, centuries-old, well-established traditions in this regard.
And why did Cyril take Methodius on his mission to Chersonesos, where they were presented with the Psalter and the Gospel, written in “Russian (Rushka) letters? And why in numerous versions of the "Pannonian Life of Cyril" about his short stay in Chersonesos, in one case it is said about his conversation with a Rusyn, who introduced Cyril to the vowels and consonants "Russian letters", and in the other - about what happened between Cyril and some unnamed Jew "Jewish conversation"? And why on the territory of “Kievan Rus” there are still Old Believer communities belonging to the so-called “Judaizing” (Judaizing) sects? And why in the 19th century one of these sects was called "Samaritan" when registered? And why the toponym - hydronym "Samara - Shamara" is associated with the resettlement of Old Believers - schismatics - Old Believers,including not far from the Irgiz River in Russia, and along the Samara River near the famous Ros river in the lower reaches of the Dnieper, and in the Urals, and in Transbaikalia? And why did the "Judaizing sects" scattered throughout the territory of modern Russia and beyond its borders, including representatives of the so-called Asgard Spiritual School of the Old Believers - Ingliites of Solikamsk, Perm Region, still retain information about the numerical values of "Glagolitic"?
The question remains - why Kievan Rus, which until its inception was subject to Khazaria, in which Judaism was the officially recognized religion, suddenly, for no reason at all, changes its orientation and invites Byzantine Greeks to baptize Eastern Slavs in Kiev and its environs in 988? What is behind such inconsistency of Prince Vladimir the Red Sun?
C) In many church sources, “Hellenes” still mean not present and former Greeks, because the name “Greeks” came into use thanks to the Italic tribes living in the territory of modern Italy, namely “Jews are pagans”, i.e. Samaritans.
17. Finally, until the 19th century, Jews called the Russians "Hannaennians - Hannaians" - literally, people from the territories north of Judea. In the opinion of the Hebraists themselves, the concept of "Jews" is translated as "people from the other side" (of course, the Jordan River).
Sooner or later … the Russian scientific community will come to the final and indisputable conclusions that Cyril did not create a written language for the Slavs, and also, as at one time, Bishop Ulfilla, considered the creator of the "Gothic letters" "Psalms" and "Gospel", adapted " solemn Byzantine charter "to the language of the" Slavs converted to Christianity ", adding, in addition to purely Greek letters, several" demotico-diacretic letters ", the sounds of which are not in the Greek language. And if Ulfilla did this for the Goths already at the beginning of the 4th century, then for the Egyptians - Christians this happened a little earlier than for the Goths. The Egyptians in the 3rd century created their own "Coptic alphabet", also consisting of all Greek and several "demotic" letters. Against this background, Cyril's activity looks very dull and not quite sublime. One thing is clear - the falsification of the creation of the Glagolitic alphabet for the Slavs by Byzantine priests, begun on the initiative of Byzantine Orthodoxy and for some reason picked up by you, allows you to absolutely indisputably assert: in this situation you are a blind and submissive calf, which, due to the circumstances, will be forced to say that, what will be ordered from above.
Aramaic (Proto-Canaanite) alphabet.
Mayuscule and minuscule Samaritan alphabets.
Phoenician - Carthaginian alphabet
Coptic alphabet.
Classical (Attic) ancient Greek alphabet.
Bishop Ulfilla's Gothic alphabet.
Russian Cyrillic alphabet in version 1708
The Russian Cyrillic alphabet, formed by 1800 and existed in Russia until 1918.
Karachay - Circassian runes.
Evidence that Newton was a Catholic, and most importantly, a respectable Catholic, you just need to understand that the Anglican Church belongs to that part of Christianity that initially activated itself as a religion, leading its sermon in Latin, from books written in Latin - unlike the Orthodox Church, which allows books to be written in many languages. Well, if we talk about Newton's decency, then judging by the information that reached me, the Catholic Church did not anathematize Newton. And since from the legal point of view the presumption of innocence extends to every person, I have no reason to assert that Newton was “not a good Catholic,” and even more so, not a good atheist.
