An ETAT greeting the International Exhibition of Calligraphy
Greetings from Aleksandr Avdeyev, Minister of Culture of the Russian Federation
DEAR FRIENDS,
I am glad to welcome the participants and guests of the International Exhibition of Calligraphy. This exhibition promises to be an important event in the cultural life of Russia. Restoration and preservation of historical traditions of the Russian writing, promotion of cultural and ethnographic value of the art of calligraphy will help strengthening the position of the Russian language in Russia. The calligraphic traditions have been passed on from generation to generation, and they should not be forgotten. The masters of the national schools of calligraphy will give their master classes where they will unveil the secrets of their art to the next generation of artists. I wish all the participants realization of their ideas and dreams and bright impressions to the visitors. =1808-01-71/01-АА A.A.
