This orthography comes from the 1966 spelling reform, which adapted a number of the new Cyrillic letters introduced in the Soviet Union. Prior to 1966, the orthography was still Cyrillic, but quite different. I'll put that up too, when I've worked it out solidly. Besides that - I've been hadnwriting with it, and it looks different enough. I'll scan some in later and we can see. :) ---ferko
