Is it common for Russians to write in block letters?

When I learned English (as my second language) as a child, I had to learn how to write the alphabet in cursive. And even though many teachers prefer cursive writing, I never do it. I am currently learning Russian and I can't stand the way my professor writes the cyrillic alphabet in cursive. So, I was wondering... is it common for people in Russia (despite their early learning of writing in cursive) to hand write things in block letters?

People in Russia always write in cursive, so you’ll have to stick with learning it, if you want to learn Russian. I actually hate the fact that most Americans don’t know how to write in cursive, when you ask them to write something in cursive, they just type their letters closer together:)
Hi euro..,
I don’t think so: I once started on a Russian course, and they taught you the Cyrillic cursive very early on. It seems to be absolutely normal to write cursive there.
Best,

no. russian is my first language and almost everything is written in cursive. children sometimes write in block letters and if you’re making a sign then you might, but almost all writing is in cursive. it might be frustrating at first, especially if you’re a fan of plain text but you’ll get used to it.
no, my mom is russian and she doesnt write like that.
my mom’s first language is russian and she was born there.
