Verbitskaya: Russian politicians do not know how to speak in Russian


Ludmila Verbitskaya believes that many Russian politicians do not know how to speak in Russian. University President proposes to introduce a special exam.

"Every political leader of Russia must take the exam on the culture of speech, but failed the exam should not receive the deputies' mandates. Peresdadut Until it" - the president of the St. Petersburg State University, member of the Russian language with Russian Ludmila Verbitskaya government.

Yes, when you listen to speech of a politician, then you begin to understand the concerns of the president. Wrong end, the errors in stress, tongue-tied, or simply mate - it's all we can say is common.

The most striking figure here - now, alas, the late former head of the Russian Prime Minister Viktor Chernomyrdin.

- Not being able to speak in the presence of television cameras as he is by virtue of their production biographies used to say, Mr. Chernomyrdin with a loss for words. Thus were born the famous "chernomyrdinki" - said in a conversation with a correspondent of "Komsomolskaya Pravda" Lyudmila Verbitskaya. - I once had a chance to get an audience with the head of government. Saying goodbye to me, he looked tired. And he said, is why: "As many as 30 minutes, I had to look after themselves, so as not to burst out a bad word."

Not far behind the Chernomyrdin and other former Prime Minister Mikhail Fradkov. Although less is known of his sayings, they are worthy of citation. For example, these: "Ministers should meet each other in a circle and then go to a meeting of government", "You have to accumulate the energy that is generated in civil society, women's clinics."

According Verbitskaia, attempts to enter the examination of the culture of speech met resistance from MPs and government officials. The argument - similar exams are contrary to democracy.

- I do not like many ministers and politicians, as I have during their performances are recorded all errors, and then immediately pass them a note with recommendations on how to speak properly. In my opinion, correct human need - said Lyudmila Verbitskaya.
