Slavic Writing and Culture
The image above presents a visual reconstruction of a pre-Christian Slavic runic writing system — often referred to as "Bukvitsa," "Slavic-Aryan Runes," or "Cherty and Rezy." All memory of it was eradicated during the Christianization of the Slavs, and no documentary evidence remains in official state archives.
This chart is a modern, approximate reconstruction. The exact number of symbols in the Slavic script is unknown, but scholars have told me it may have included around 150 characters. Official science doesn't even consider the question.
According to the official version, before the 9th century, Slavs had no writing and were considered "primitive" and "uncivilized." Then came Cyril and Methodius, who introduced a highly complex alphabet — Glagolitic — which their followers later had to simplify into Cyrillic. This was because the new European elites, who arrived to rule the Slavs alongside Christianity, could not grasp even the simplified Glagolitic script.
A scholar I know, who studied pre-Christian Slavic writing back in Soviet times, told me he found traces of such records only in the Vatican Library. However, those archives are classified: copying is forbidden, and no materials can be taken out. Some sections — like the "Inquisition Files" — are off-limits even to accredited researchers. Some fragments were found indirectly — and preserved only from memory...
The modern Russian alphabet is a deep mutilation not only of the ancient Slavic script, but also of the Christian inventions — Glagolitic and Cyrillic.
In the original system, letters carried meanings, numerical values, historical and philosophical associations, even mystical or sacred interpretations. Today, a letter survives only as an empty vowel or consonant sound.
Very few scholars truly understand this subject. But the most important pieces are held by those who once destroyed and hid it — in the Vatican. Some knowledge was also preserved by Buddhists.
As a child in the Soviet Union, in 1986, I was fortunate to attend a meeting with the Dalai Lama — the same one who still leads global Buddhism today. It took place in the delegation hall of Domodedovo Airport. I didn’t understand much of what he said through a translator, but the adults — Soviet scholars and public figures (the very people he met before visiting the Soviet government and the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church) — discussed his words at length. And what he said then was roughly the same as what I’m writing to you now.
And yes — Buddhists also secretly preserve documentary and historical evidence of what the Slavs once lost. Or rather — were forced to lose.
Happy Day of Slavic Literacy and Culture! Never forget who you are. Especially now, when you're killing each other in Ukraine.
