On May 22, an employee of the department of museum and educational activities at the Bolgar Museum-Reserve Yu. A. Bitunova gave a lecture on “The origins of Slavic writing” to students of Bolgar secondary school No. 1.
May 24 is the Day of Slavic Writing and Culture. It is a day of honor for the holy enlighteners Cyril and Methodius who gave the Slavs the writing system and alphabet that we still use today. During the lecture, the students learned a lot of new and interesting information about the history of the emergence and development of Slavic writing, as well as the differences between modern and early Cyrillic.
Twelve people attended the lecture.
