For sure, the chance to see the creation of calligraphic chef-d’oeuvre by the author of the first handwritten Constitution of the Russian Federation  is a great pleasure for everyone. No wonder that there was not empty space in the room long before the master-class began and a number of people wishing to attend the event were standing.
