This is a true thing. Dark age Irish missionaries _did_ get to Russia. I
believe the "caol le caol agus leathan le leathan" spelling rule came
later though. And then of course St. Cyrill provided a better alphabet
for the Russian language. If the 'white martyrs' had introduced the
latin alphabet to the Russians (I bet they did), then, the Russians knew
a better thing when they saw it provided by St. Cyrill.
