- Source: Cyrillization of Polish
The Cyrillization of Polish has been practised in many forms and began in the mid-19th century in the Russian Empire. 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.

Modern Cyrilisations of Polish
= Russian cyrillic
=The system of the Cyrillization of Polish proper names, as employed in today's Russia, emerged during the 1970s in the post-war Soviet Union. It is a form of orthographic transcription.
Another form of Russian-based polish cyrilic has been in use since the early 1990s, in Polish-language religious books produced for Catholics in western Belarus (i.e. Grodno Diocese).
The Lord's prayer:
Ойче наш, ктурысь ест в небе, свенць сен Имен Твое, пшийдзь Крулество Твое, бондзь воля Твоя, яко в небе так и на земи. Хлеба нашего повшеднего дай нам дзисяй. И одпусць нам наше вины, яко и мы одпущамы нашим виновайцом. И не вудзь нас на покушене, але нас збав оде злего. Амен.
The Lord's prayer (Grodno variant):
Ойчэ наш, ктурысь ест в небе, сьвенць се Име Твое, пшыйдзь Крулество Твое, боньдзь воля Твоя, яко в небе так и на земи. Хлеба нашэго повшэднего дай нам дзисяй. И одпусьць нам нашэ вины, яко и мы одпушчамы нашым виновайцом. И не вудзь нас на покушэне, але нас збав одэ злэго. Амэн.
