Gothic or "Fraktur" (Broken script) Cyrillic
Above: a Bulgarian ad with the words "Kitaj" (China) and "Indija" (India) written in a Cyrillic Fraktur style which somewhat resembles the Chinese and Indian scripts - or so the author of the sign thinks

"Arabic" Cyrillic

"Japanese" Cyrillic
"Greek" Cyrillic
"Hebrew" Cyrillic
"Georgian" Cyrillic
A sample of a Russian text written by natives of Georgia. Certain Cyrillic letters have a distinct non-Cyrillic flavor to it, see the lowercase "r" in the word "Prezident". Remarkable is also the 'three-legged t" in the same word. In general, the posters show lowercase letters used as if they were capital letters.
Another sample of Bulgarian "Fraktur" - here, for a young writers' web-page

Below: Chinese Cyrillic (it says "Drugata Balgarija")
