Is the cursive Russian or a different language? I've never seen Russian cursive so I have no idea.

Some words in Russian may pose a challenge due to the similarities between the letters Ш, Щ, И, Л, М in cursive.

The word решили (reshili), which means "they decided", or "it was decided".

There's another photo on the page...

I have a hard time reading handwritten Russian, but it's definitely that

Probably still Russian. I've heard Russian cursive is famously quite difficult to read.
