Summary/Abstract: The article focuses on studying Czech borrowings – Bohemisms – in the East Slavic written languages of the 14th–18th centuries. The spread of the Czech language beyond its ethnic territories contributed to the penetration of Czech linguistic elements into the East Slavic scripts. As a result of direct and indirect Czech-East Slavic language contacts, Bohemisms were borrowed into the Old Belarusian, Old Ukrainian and Old Russian languages, as a rule, with Polish mediation. The Bohemisms established in the process of research represent different lexico-semantic groups, in origin they can go back to Latin, Greek, German, Romanesque, Hungarian primary sources, or have a proper Czech origin and are etymologically related to the Proto-Slavic roots.
