    I understand why you think cursive is closer to “regular” alphabet in Russian, but I can assure you that learning Russian cursive is basically a separate topic entirely and is really really hard. Big examples are д (looks like g), и, й and м are basically indentical, т looks like m.

      I don’t know why you feel the need to assure a native Russian speaker of that, though.

      It’s fairly easy to read (provided good handwriting) and to tell what’s what from the surrounding letters.

      As for being a separate topic - that would be the case for other cursives as well. More so in German, where they actually have more than one cursive system (although I’m not sure if Kurrent is actually still around for me to be making that claim).

      Russian is as unique as other European languages. No less, no more.
