Hmmm, there had been some attempts at introducing pre-Revolutionary Cyrillic script, but not on the basis of Russification. Rather, if we look at such literary languages for, say, Chuvash, or Kazakh, or Aleut, or Kerashen Tatar, for example, the sole reason was to expand the Orthodox Church by converting minority populations. One could stil speak (and hence now read and write) his or her native language as long as s/he worships in Church Slavonic along with everyone else. So it's been done, though in the case of Kazakh it actually took the Soviet period to make it stick (with some judicious revision to make it match the modern Russian alphabet).
