Summary/Abstract: The classification of present-day Russian according to the Extended Projection Principle (EPP) has been a widely discussed issue in the theory of minimalism. The investigation of Old Russian texts suggests that the realization of the EPP requirement differed in Old Russian and has been subject to parametric variation. In the present study, the author tries to shed light on this change by looking at the relative position of S and V, and the ways the EPP is fulfilled in them.
