The journalist was indignant that the governor advised him to "watch the language."

“You decide who you are with during the special operation - with the heroes of Yekaterinburg or with traitors, with demons,” Solovyov was quoted as saying by RIA Novosti.

Earlier, Solovyov, in a conversation with the presidential envoy to the Ural Federal District Vladimir Yakushev, called Yekaterinburg "the center of a vile liberota."

After that, Kuyvashev said that in the Urals "people who watch their language are very much loved and appreciated."
