Abstract. The new edition from the University of Plovdiv is a Russian language textbook designed for specific purposes in Orthodox theology and worship. It can also serve as a tool for refresher courses or self-study. The significance of the “Russian Language Manual for Bulgarian Religious Schools” is evaluated based on its linguistic, communicative, and sociocultural educational content. The review concludes that it is a valuable resource for supporting Russian language studies in Bulgarian theological seminaries and university theology programs.
