Russian/soviet Fountain Pens

[virgilio]

Very interesting thread. I wonder what sort of ink the Soviets used... And if any fountain pens/ink are still being made in Russia? I for one wish I could buy things from Russia. As it is, it is almost impossible even to buy Russian books directly for myself...

I never buy anything Russian except caviar and vodka - even then, Polish vodka is better!

Yes. You can buy 'Raduga' ink. But beware. There are two types. One for drawing with a dip-pen & the other for a fountain pen.

Red, black, blue, green and purple inks are available.
