It is probably country and language dependent, I think. I don't know anyone under 40 who doesn't write in cursive (in Russian), and for other languages I personally also write in cursive (and learnt that in school). I'm in my 30s.

  OP double negated - cursive is the norm for Russians of all ages. Russian cursive is actually not that bad to read for the most part. Russian “print” is super awkward because all the characters are very angular. There are some differences between generations (younger generations are more likely to write “т” in handwriting whereas the “correct” form looks more like a Latin “m”, but with obvious examples excluded (like the above), it just takes learning as a separate alphabet.

    > cursive is the norm for Russians of all ages. I know. I always feel utterly embarrassed when Russian-speaking friends write down a movie title for me, and I have to ask them to rewrite it in block capitals.

  That's a good one, I must admit. FWIW, Serbian Cyrillic cursive does not have that issue, or at least not as bad: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80_%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B5_%D1%9B%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B5.png/500px-%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%80_%D1%81%D1%80%D0%BF%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B5_%D1%9B%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%86%D0%B5.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/1b/%D...
