Why was the cyrillic alphabet developed?
The Cyrillic alphabet was developed in the 10th century so that the newly christened inhabitants of the First Bulgarian Empire could write religious texts in an alphabet much better suited for their Slavic language. The Greek language had far fewer sounds than the Slavic dialects of the time, thus the Greek alphabet could not properly accommodate a Slavic language. Later, when other Slavic peoples converted to Christianity, they adopted this new Slavic alphabet.

How did the Romans influence other countries into using the alphabet?
== == By the time of the Archaic Period, the Greeks had lost the use of Linear-B. Following the resumption of trade with the Middle East, they adopted the Phoenicean alphabet which, with some modifications, is still used to write Greek. The Greek alphabet was, in turn, eventually adapted to become the Roman alphabet. The spread of the Roman Empire brought literacy and learning to all parts of the empire, some of which did not already have forms of writing. Latin became the language of choice throughout the western empire, although Greek remained the everyday language and the language of learning in the east. During the Middle Ages, the eveyday Latin dialects began to diverge into the Romantic languages, but retained the use of the Latin alphabet. Following the fall of the Roman Empire, countries in north-western Europe adopted the languages of their conquerors but retained the Latin alphabet. Gradually the Latin alphabet came to dominate throughout western Europe, although the Greek alphabet remained dominant in the east.

Who invented Russian?
The Cyrillic alphabet or "azbuka" is an alphabetic writing system developed in the First Bulgarian Empire during the 10th century AD at the Preslav Literary School. The alphabet was derived from the Ancient Greek uncial script, augmented by ligatures and consonants from the older Glagolitic alphabet. Both Glagolic and Cyliric alphabet have been invented by Saints Cyril and Methodii and the cyrilic was finalised St Climent of Ohrid. St. Cyril and Metodii were born in Odrin (today called Thessaloniki) which was part of th First Bulgarian Empire at the time. After the adoption of Christianity in Bulgaria in 865, religious ceremonies and Divine Liturgy were conducted in Greek by clergy sent from the Byzantine Empire, using the Byzantine rite. Fearing growing Byzantine influence and weakening of the state, the Bulgarian King Boris I viewed the introduction of the Slavic alphabet and language in church use as a way to preserve the independence of Slavic Bulgaria from Greek Constantinople (today called Istambul). As a result of Boris's measures, two academies, one in Ohrid and one in Preslav, were founded where St Cyril and Methodii developed the glagolic alphabet. At the end of the ninth century, one of these students of Methodius (St Climent of Ohrid) who had settled in Preslav (Bulgaria) created the Cyrillic alphabet, which almost entirely replaced the Glagolitic during the Middle Ages. His students spead thoughout the lands eastern Europe, Kiev and Croatia. In Russia the Cyrillic alphabet achieved its current form in 1708 during the reign of Peter the Great. Four letters were eliminated from the alphabet in a 1917/18 reform.

Did the Russians start using the Russian writing for a reason?
Russians use Cyrillic alphabet. It first appeared in Bulgarian Empire in the ninth or tenth century as a way to write down the Old Church Slavonic language. It was based on Greek uncial script with added letters to express sounds not found in Greek. Using Greek is more of a historic choice because East and South Slavs had much more ties with Byzantine Empire than with Western Europe which used Latin alphabet. (Greek was an official language in Byzantium)
