I Just Learned About "Russian Cursive" And My Mind Is Boggled That This Is Legible To Millions Of People

Every few months I see those pictures of how “crazy” russian cursive is. Eh, it’s a big exaggerated, but russian cursive IS cool! First two pics are me practicing, the third is a card from my grandparents in cursive letters but spaced out.
