There is no single person responsible for Cyrillic script. It is mostly believed to be created by mixing and changing Greek and Glagolic scripts by the scholars of Preslav Literary School, which was indeed in Bulgaria. After a while, Peter the Great changed it a lot. And then Stalin stomped out almost all the deviations in the usage of the script.
The last part is mostly why it is considered Russian. A lot of languages suffered because of Moscow just forcing them to use the version of Cyrillic that Russians were using.
Cyrillic is literally greek+glagolitic and it was partly a diplomatic creation of the Eastern Roman Empire(aka Byzantine Empire), in order to bring the slavs culturally closer to them.
Russians have nothing to do with it, other than them claiming they are the continuation of Eastern Roman Empire, something which is kinda laughable but whatever dont let your dreams be dreams.
It looks so badass, I could have used that script now because im Ukrainian but instead I have cyrillic script which is so boring
rebel against Russian imperialism, return to glagolitic
It’s not russian, If my bulgarian friend is right then it was created by a bulgarian guy
