As of now, the letters found in the pre-reform alphabet are not used in print, unless it is somehow relevant to the historic nature of the printed material. Also, those characters are edited out or replaced with their equivalent when the pre-1917 novels, for example, are being republished.
If you want to see
1) a formal table along with a rather dry pronunciation guide of the RusAlph
2) the Old/Archaic/Obsolete/amazingly old Cyrillic set
3) comparison between the semi-old Cyrillic and the Greek alphabet,

I hope you enjoy this nicely organized collection of some of the most cherished works in the lyrical Russian poetry, and that a box of Cleenex might or might not sound like a good idea when you get through some of them.
