  >so where are russian words? Like, all of them? At least, "words comprehensible to a Russian-speaker". >Does Russian alphabet have Є letter? Ukrainian still does. It's closer to the Old Church Slavonic. And the Ѣ was only dropped 100 years ago by the commies. Regardless, nobody is saying that the beresty are modern Russian, just that it's in a Slavic language (and one comprehensible to modern-day Russian speakers). What's your point, exactly?

  > Does Russian alphabet have Є letter? This should resolve your confusion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Ye#Old_Slavonic.2C_Old_East_Slavic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukrainian_Ye#Old_Slavonic.2C_O... I believe, U+0415 ("E") is a valid character to use there. Sadly, there's no way to denote that the text is in Old Slavonic and should use different script so this "E" would be rendered visually similar to "Є". While Unicode code points typically correspond to graphemes, that's not always true. Similar issues exist with Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages, as Unicode (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Graphemes_versus_glyphs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Han_unification#Graphemes_vers... - it has an example with Latin small letter "a")
