  Church Slavonic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Historically, this language is derived from the Old Church Slavonic language by adapting pronunciation and orthography and replacing some old and obscure words and expressions by their vernacular counterparts (for example from the Old Russian language).
Although as late as the 1760's Lomonosov argued that Church Slavonic was the so-called "high style" of Russian, within Russia itself this point of view largely vanished in the course of the nineteenth century.
However, as both languages are Slavic, the borrowings are usually thought of as variants of Russian words, e.g.

The issue of the Orthodox Church's stewardship of the community also poses the question of whether Orthodoxy is compatible with capitalist economic development and a global market economy, which many consider as vital to democratic development.

 History of the Orthodox Church

 Eastern Orthodox and Slavic Evangelicals: What Sets Them Both Apart From Western Evangelicals   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
Slavic Christians' fear of the Lord and the weight of their suffering through untold centuries may also help explain why to Western ears the Divine Liturgy and much of Slavic Evangelical hymnody sound somber, haunting, melancholic, even dirge-like.
Given the strong leadership typically exercised by Slavic Evangelical pastors, as well as by Orthodox priests (when the state does not interfere), it is not surprising that Western Evangelicals sometimes read Eastern church leadership styles as authoritarian, controlling, and contradictory to the Reformation's priesthood of all believers.
For example, Orthodox and Evangelicals in the East are more likely than Western Christians to frown upon direct clergy participation in politics, and have less of a tradition of prophetic challenges to sweeping social evils in their midst.
