One of the women said the following: "We are not excessive, first". Had an effect on the situation tactfully leading news conference, a famous Russian artist Sergey Shustitsky. "It seems to me that all ckazannoe so clear and needs no translation" - he turned to the disgruntled language minister. The incident flattened himself Boris Svetlov, who moved to the Russian and promised to answer any questions - in the language in which they will be performed. Further questions were asked the Minister of Culture in Russian, so he answered them.
