How do you write a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z in Russian?

In your question you list the Latin alphabet, the set of 26 letters used by several languages including English. Present-day Russian is written in a version of the Cyrillic alphabet (develped by Saint Cyril) with about 32 letters. There are more than 5 vowels because vowels have both a "hard" and a "soft" sound. There were additional letters that were once used, but were eliminated in the early 20th Century. There are also other languages using the alphabet that might not have exactly the same set of letters. You can see the shapes of the letters by gong to wikipedia.org and searching for "Russian alphabet" (for the letter set used specificaly in Russian) or "Cyrillic Script" (for more samples, including some used by languages other than Russian).

Is alphabet h is semi vowel in English?

In English, the letter "h" is not considered a semi-vowel. Semi-vowels typically refer to the sounds made by the letters "w" and "y," which have vowel-like qualities in certain contexts. The letter "h" represents a voiceless glottal fricative sound and functions as a consonant rather than a semi-vowel.
