title: Python - Regex cyrillic mixed with latin
body: <p>I'm trying to extract the cyrillic letters from a mixed input but can't get it to split the way I want. No numbers or special characters involved.</p>
  
  <pre><code>input = "я я я я я w w w w w w\nф ф ф ф ф v v v v v v"
  output = re.split("![а-я]\s*", input)
  print(output)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want to get rid of the <code>w</code> and <code>v</code> letters and just print the Russian ones. With my code, input and output are the same except that they're in a list now. </p>
