According to Lebedev, public apologies to the camera "are becoming some kind of epidemic."

“A huge number of people must now apologize for the most fierce, for the slightest oversight, for an inaccurately spoken word, for the fact that someone somewhere was offended for some reason,” said the designer.

He added that "if someone wants to punish someone," then for this "there is a court."

In August, a neurologist with 30 years of experience, Emilia Grechanik, in an RT stream, talked about how Kazakh nationalists forced her to apologize to the camera for speaking in Russian.
