Greeting from Anatoly Torkunov

Dear Mr. Shaburov,

The MGIMO keeps track of its graduates′ achievements. The idea of the International Calligraphic Exhibition strikes us as innovative, interesting and useful. The aims that you have put — restoration of writing culture and its popularization — are worth high estimation. And opening of the mobile museum will involve plenty of people to the art of calligraphy.

Calligraphy is a high, beautiful and traditional Russian art, which restoration will improve cultural and spiritual life of the Russians and unite them. I welcome your initiative and wish you successful exhibition!

Anatoly Torkunov,
The President of the MGIMO,
Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Science
