What do you mean by Nabokov’s handwriting having a Russian accent? Is he writing in a style of handwriting that was unique to Russia at the time?
Nabokov used an informal style of Russian cursive to write in English. Here is a picture of entries in his travel journal, where he wrote in both languages—you can see the characteristics that carry over from Cyrillic to Latin.

Went ahead and turned an AU of Kassidy and just made her into her own OC. A degree of separation.
But until I know who Toska truly is... have a giant spider lady.

Hiraeth is to Wales what Toska / Тоска is to Russia
(A concept I'd like to elaborate on one day, but I am so very sleepy today)

What would you say were good things about USSR? (If anything) I think there were many good cartoons and new years movies, as well as high quality stamps. (My unserious answer)
I am NOT immune to the unserious. Here are some things the Soviet Union did right:
There was a small apricot tree in my neighbor's back yard, and I would eat as many apricots as my tiny body could house.
In fact, all fruit was exceptionally delicious—especially the watermelon. I respect my parents' decision to emigrate except when I eat a mealy, pinkish chunk of pakast from the bottom of a fruit cup and remember how good it tasted when we bought it by the slice on the boardwalk.
We lived right by the Kanatnaya Doroga, so we could ride it to Otrada Beach in the summer.
My father lost his hat in the Black Sea, but the sea returned it a week later.
GREATEST LOVE STORY OF OUR TIME
We left before I got the chance, but I know I would have served cunt in a little pioneer outfit with a crisp red galstuk.
Swan Lake again? Joke's on you, I fucking love Swan Lake. Turn that shit up!
