Cyril has nothing to do with the Cyrillic alphabet, and Russia did not exist in the years of the brothers' lives at all

Huh? Who has then?

Clement of Ohrid

In fact, it could have been any of Cyril's disciples.

It would be strange that Cyril named the alphabet after himself, especially since Cyril is not even his name. His name was Constantine. He became Cyril much later.

his students made it thats why they give his name on it . if it was he by himself ,how you say ,he not going to give that alphanet his name .

Well, yes, but from the teachings and work of Cyril and Methodius.

In truth, the Cyrillic alphabet has very little of the Glagolitic alphabet and a lot of the Greek alphabet. I would say the work of the disciples of the brothers is more a tribute to their teachers than they really relied on the works of Cyril.

Can't disagree with that.

It's an interesting fact that in the 20th century, many countries abandoned the Cyrillic alphabet. The Soviet Union even developed a project to switch to the Latin alphabet. However, Stalin refused to implement it at the time. Had it not been for Stalin, perhaps Cyrillic in this time would have suffered the same fate as Glagolitic.

Oh yes, we have Latin alphabet in Serbia.

exactly Clement of Ohrid the student of Cyril. Cyril itself made glagolic

why then is called Cyrilic ?

Cyril did not create the Cyrillic alphabet, but the Glagolitic alphabet, which is not used now in Bulgaria or anywhere else. The Cyrillic alphabet was created by Cyril's disciples, taking Greek as their basis.
