The devil is in the details in Latin. The devil is in the details

And again we plunge into the past, because this expression came to us from there. Once upon a time in Rus' there were a lot of monasteries and each of them had its own rules that were observed only in it, its own rules of behavior and even a judicial rule, according to which a person was judged for his sins.

Charter Common Slavic word from the verb ustati (put, put). Literally, “established.”

The monks often moved from monastery to monastery, and sometimes it was very difficult for them, because having gotten used to some rules, they had to obey others, but you cannot bring your own rules here.

Therefore, no one doubts that this expression comes from the monks.

Its meaning is simple:

Any environment, society, be it a team, a family, a country, has its own rules, foundations, habits and norms of behavior. People are used to living this way and not otherwise, and no matter how much you like something, you do not have the right to establish your own rules on the fly. What is normal for you may be unacceptable for them and vice versa. So keep your rules to yourself and take a closer look at others.

There are many other sayings in the Russian language that reinforce this wisdom:

Examples from literary text:

- “Claims for one’s own rightness cannot be an excuse for imposing one’s own rules on others. A Russian proverb advises not to meddle with your charter in someone else’s monastery” (Gerasimov “From Wilson to Reagan”)
