speaker, but when I was a grad student I took an interest in Russian calligraphy and practiced it for my own amusement. I can't help noting that this example is actually a very fine 19th Century scribal script. Since my eyes are 80 years old I would need to enlarge the sample to read thru it, but I read the first word perezhivayushchaya very easily. The strokes observe the thick/thin norms, but are a little too "inky" without enlargement. You are not the only post-1918 native speaker with problems--I think you have to be used to reading it to get it easily. Cyrillic calligraphy is I am afraid a lost art. Yours, Jules Levin
