Master-class by Petr Chobitko
e said during the work on the Constitution of the Russian Federation he had to change many pens – not a pen could normally function during the whole five-month long process of writing the Constitution. Can an ordinary man differ a part of the text written with a feather pen, and the text made by a metal pen? Is there any difference? What to chose – a brush or a pen? How can the instrument influence the result of the master’s work? And what happened if you choose the wrong instrument?

Professor Chobitko, who has been working with script for more than 35 years, answered all these questions. He willingly shared his rich experience with the all who attended his Sunday lecture.
