About Russian
Russian is an East Slavic language that evolved from Old East Slavic, the common language of the medieval state of Kievan Rus. It developed its modern form through centuries of literary and political standardization, particularly during the 18th and 19th centuries. Approximately 258 million people speak Russian today.
Russian is written using the Cyrillic alphabet, which consists of 33 letters and was derived from the Greek alphabet by Saints Cyril and Methodius in the 9th century. It is the official language of Russia and co-official in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and Kyrgyzstan. Russian is the most geographically widespread language of Eurasia, and notably, it was the first language spoken in outer space by Yuri Gagarin in 1961.
