Anyone know where I can get old Russian looking fonts, but they are actually english letters? I saw this on the opening credits for the movie "Abandoned", part of Horrorfest.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Partisan East, Orthodox 2, East Bloc Open, Old Russian, etc... look for Cyrillic simulation fonts.

There are also quite a few “Soviet Constructivist” fonts reminiscent of 1930s poster art; there was a bit of a fad for them in the ’90s. Neville Brody’s Industria is an example. They don’t necessarily mimic the Cyrillic letterforms, though: the reference is in the style.
