The principle of antistih (anti-verse) plays a very important role in the system of the modern Church Slavonic language, but despite this it still remains poorly developed both in scientific and educational literature. The Church Slavonic language is usually considered as a language formed during the church reforms of Patriarch Nikon, in connection with which researchers focus their attention on the pre-reform editions of the Moscow Printing Yard, stopping at the publication of the Grammar of 1648, but contemporary norms do not meet the requirements provided for by this grammar. In turn, in the educational literature, the principle of antistih (anti-verse) is either not considered at all, or is considered fragmentally, inconsistently and out of connection with other spelling principles or with other levels of the language. Such a combination of factors significantly complicates not only an adequate theoretical description, i.e. codification, of the Church Slavonic language at the present stage of its development and appropriate teaching, but even the correct composition/edition of texts in Church Slavonic language.
