Cyrillization of Polish under the Russian Empire
Cyrillic orthography of Polish used under the Russian Empire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Between 1772 and 1815, the Russian Empire seized about four-fifths of Poland-Lithuania, where Polish was the leading official language. Polish remained the official language of the incorporated Polish-Lithuanian territories until the late 1830s. Later, it was fully replaced with Russian in the mid-1860s. A middle stage for the transition was the use of the Russian-style Cyrillic for writing Polish.[1]
