		Meletius Smotrytsky presented the Cyrillic alphabet in this 1619 publication describing the "Slavonic" language.
		The official language remained a kind of Church Slavonic until the close of the seventeenth century, but, despite attempts at standardization, as by Meletius Smotrytsky c. 1620, its purity was by then strongly compromised by an incipient secular literature.
		The political reforms of Peter the Great were accompanied by a reform of the alphabet, and achieved their goal of secularization and Westernization.

	The Catholic - St Josaphat, Martyr of Holy Unity Patron of Tradition in Ukraine
		He was soon to acquire, in a certain Meletius Smotrytsky, a formidable enemy.
		The martyr had gone gladly to his death, offering his life that the schism might end; he had said as much beforehand, and amongst the many miracles consequent to his murder was the conversion of his assassins.
		Four years later the author of the troubles, the dissident bishop Meletius Smotrytsky, was himself struck with remorse and consecrated his life to penance, prayer and the defence of the Union.

	Brest'-Litovsk 1596: The "Unia" makes us strong?
		Meletius Smotrytsky is probably one of the most interesting examples.
		Appointed Archbishop of Polotsk in Belarus in place of the Greek Catholic incumbent, Josaphat Kuntsevich, Meletius was well known for his defence of Orthodoxy.
		Over time, and as if to assuage his guilt, Meletius, they say, became an Eastern Catholic himself and began to write in support of the "Unia" he had earlier attacked.

	Saint Josaphat:Apostle of Union - The Byzantine Forum
		Meletius Smotrytsky was the Orthodox Archbishop of Polotsk who wrote quite graphically about Josaphat.
		Meletius himself died in the odour of sanctity and there was a move to beatify him.
		The interesting thing about Meletius is that he is honoured by both Orthodox and Catholics.

		He detached his priests from subservience to the unruly nobility and wrote "A Rule for Priests." Most of all he pursued the reunion of all with Rome.
		The major obstacle was the Orthodox Bishop Meletius Smotrytsky, who was aided by schismatic preachers sent from Constantinople to prevent reunion.
		In May 1643, twenty years later, Pope Urban VIII declared him "Blessed." But it was not until June 29, 1867, that Pope Pius IX canonized him "Saint." On November 12, 1923, the tercentenary of Josaphat's martyrdom, Pope Pius XI declared him the heavenly Patron of Reunion between Orthodox and Catholics.

	Russian language
		A scientific consensus exists that Russian and Ruthenian (the predecessor of Belarusian and Ukrainian) had definitely become distinct by this time at the latest (according to some linguists and historians, even earlier).
		The official language in Russia remained a kind of Church Slavonic until the close of the seventeenth century, but, despite attempts at standardization, as by Meletius Smotrytsky c. 1620, its purity was by then strongly compromised by an incipient secular literature.
		There was borrowing of vocabulary from Polish, and, through it, from German and other Western European languages.

	Meletius Smotrytsky - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Smotrytsky is best known for his Grammar of Church Slavonic (Грамматіки славєнския правилноє Сvнтаґма, 1619), which codified what is now known as "Modern Church Slavonic" or, more specifically, "Meletian Church Slavonic".
		It was the sole handbook for grammar in Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian lands, and had an enormous impact on the literary usage in Church Slavonic texts throughout the Slavonic countries.

		The major obstacle to Church Union in the 1620s was the Orthodox Bishop Meletius Smotrytsky, who was aided by preachers sent from Constantinople.
		The latter spread slanders against Josaphat, a monk and missionary and Archbishop of Polotsk and, during his absence in Warsaw to plead for reunion, agitated for Josaphat's removal.
		Among the many miracles consequent to Josaphat's murder was the conversion of those who killed him to the Union with Rome and the expansion of the Greek Catholic Church in Belarus and northern Ukraine.
