The presentation of the first and only handwritten copy of the Constitution of the Russian Federation took place on September 11th at the AIF-News press-center.

He also added that the National Union of Calligraphers will soon start working on a second handwritten manuscript to present to Dmity Medvedev, President of Russia.
