Summary/Abstract: The article is devoted to Moscow editions of church services and other liturgical texts intended for the southern Slavs. It is common knowledge that during the 18th and 19th centuries, Russia was an active supplier of liturgical books to the Orthodox Slavs. The study shows that in a number of cases, special editions of texts, differing from those published for use within Russia were prepared for this purpose. The article pays particular attention to the service to St. Peter Tsetinsky, the first edition of which was printed in Moscow in violation of all existing rules for the publication of liturgical literature. This is the only case when the Synodal Printing House published a service to a saint whose name is not featured on the church calendar. Subsequently, the service to Peter Tsetinsky entered Srbljk, but to this day, it is missing from the liturgical books of the Russian Church.
