As the head of the region noted, the meaning of his speech was different, but, "as usual, everything was distorted and re-twisted."
“I have always been correct towards journalists who objectively criticize and correctly submit articles. For those whose feelings are touched by the word “wet”, I am a person with a good soul, I apologize, ”he said.
As explained in the press service, during a speech at a gala event in honor of Press Day, Ignatiev spoke about people who call themselves journalists, but who have the only goal - to discredit the authorities in any way.
Earlier, the spokesman for the official Oleg Sidorov commented on his appeal.
