That's Macedonian tho. The largest problem with OES is the lack of texts. There are old Russian chronicles from those times (10th-15th centuries) and The Bible, but that's it. That's maybe a few hundred to a couple thousand pages of text in total. The climate in those places isn't exactly known to be kind to tree bark and they didn't use paper until much later.
Also, it sucks that Slavs didn't have writing before Christian times. So much of their pagan culture was lost.
