Does anyone know what's the font used in the following pictures? Indeed this math font is very common in many Russian math/physics textbooks published last century, and it appears in almost all the Russian math textbooks that I've read.

Sure it's not handwritten? There was some kind of standard technical lettering before the CAD times.

Hi Oleg, thank you very much for pointing this out. I found that some books with the above fonts were published around 1970, even older than the initial release of TeX.

Welcome to tex.sx. I'm inclined to agree with @OlegLobachev, that these diagrams were prepared by hand. Look carefully at the two "2"s in the second image; they are very similar, but not identical, and I don't think that's the result of a low-resolution scan. This reminds me of results obtained from using a Leroy set. (That was a commonly used drafting tool in the era before computer typesetting became available. The description linked by Oleg is the comparable tool for Cyrillic.)
