"In our country, you are known as the creator and presenter of one of the most popular and truly high-quality television broadcasts, as a talented, encyclopaedically educated person open to dialogue. The Umniki i Umnitsy ("The Clever and Talented") programme has enjoyed the loyal affection of audiences of all generations for almost 10 years, which is largely due to your high professionalism, genuine intelligence, and respectful, friendly attitude to the show's participants."
