i, ѳ, ѵ , ѣ – meet the missing letters of the Russian alphabet 🤐
If you’ve ever come across Russian texts from over a century ago, you likely noticed that the letters look quite different from those we use today.
So, what were the historical events that changed the alphabet? Why did these four letters get lost along the way? Find out in the article 🔎

Experienced beyond his years, David is now tackling a new challenge — learning Russian and upping his cybersec prowess at ITMO.
Before ITMO, I worked on managing data center hardware and network infrastructure at Google. I also gained experience in the stock market while working as the lead sysadmin for the investment division of a large bank in Chile. At 22, I founded my own company (Nudra), which I still run today. Despite all this, I wanted to expand my knowledge in cybersecurity and that’s what led me here.
