For a nonsingular real algebraic curve in the 3-dimensional projective space
and sphere a new numeric characteristic is introduced. It takes integer values,
is invariant under rigid isotopy, multiplied by -1 under mirror reflection. In
a sense it is a Vassiliev invariant of degree 1 and a counter-part of a link
diagram writhe.
