Except literally no one will care if you change the order of the strokes after you graduate from elementary.

Quick question: When I dabbled in learning Russian some time ago, my materials stressed that handwriting in Russia is primarily cursive. Schools in America have deemphasized/removed cursive writing from their curriculum. Has Russia seen similar trends in education/usage of cursive writing?

  No, if you write in russian you write in cursive. Some people adapt their "style" to make it easier for them (for example using "т" instead of its cursive counterpart) but I can't imagine anyone writing (or leaching how to write) like this: "мама мыла раму". This would also have the whole healthcare system destroyed. Can you imaging a doctor putting down letters you can tell from each other?

  One thing to note is that Russian italics usually take the letter forms of Russian cursive. Some of these look completely different than the block letter (think Latin Q or Z vs their cursive counterparts), so you have to be able to read it for more than just handwriting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cursive#/media/File:Cyrillic_cursive.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cursive#/media/File:Cy...

Is this widely taught in Russia? I took some Russian in college and asked multiple professors about non-cursive writing and I was always told it basically doesn't exist.

  >I was always told it basically doesn't exist. pretty much. Non-cursive is used when filling out forms though. I think that's one the exceptions. >Is this widely taught in Russia? That's what you start you school years with. First just lines, then characters. And yes, you have to put them down as shown (poor lefties!). And you do it in a special notebook called "прописи" which has horizontal and tilted vertical lines (and dotted guides to start with): https://static.my-shop.ru/product/f2/383/3821575.jpg https://static.my-shop.ru/product/f2/383/3821575.jpg So yeah, not only only you are supposed to draw those lines in a specific order, your characters should be tilted at a certain angle.
