Russian writer Mikhail Veller arranged another demarche because of an incident with journalist of the radio station Ekho Moskvy, Olga Bychkova.
On the air of the radio station "Says Moscow" the writer was called to apologize to the journalist, whom he cursed and poured water on. In response, Weller stated: "One must believe in what you believe in. All of us in this world are present temporarily. I wish you to tell the truth and maintain a sense of self-respect. All the best to all ".
At the same time, in his opinion, what happened on the air of "Echo of Moscow" is not worth a lost egg.
"You are talking about this, as an event that can not be called. I take this with great sadness. In itself, this petty story is not worth the eaten egg. But on the considerations of various leads, because any action that looks like a scandal, in fact, only the tip of the iceberg, "he said..
Weller noted that he was deliberately brought to the state of affect.
"There is something that I call servile rudeness. This was owned by many Soviet waitresses in the old days. When the host starts to harass the client with the fact that "no, it's not, no, you did not do it, no, we do not have it" - this is called professional journalists' emotions. A skilled journalist of almost any client within five minutes can bring to the emotion. If you bring a person to an emotion, bring him to a nervous breakdown, he is in a state of nervous breakdown, inadequate state to which you brought him, and the standards of a person who makes rationally rational actions are not applicable to him, "the writer stressed..
He stated that in a "quiet state" he had never done anything like this.
After this statement, the writer left the studio.
As reported by the "Observer", the day before during the program "dissenting opinion" Weller accused the leading Olga Bychkov in the fact that she interrupted him periodically. The writer wrenched a microphone from the table, poured the journalist with water from a mug, cursed her and left the studio.
"Echo of Moscow" announced that it is suspending cooperation with Weller.
