On April 9, 2004, in the program "Freedom of Speech", dedicated to the revival of religiosity in Russia, State Duma deputy Natalia Narochnitskaya justified her dislike for America by its intellectual inferiority.
In particular, she stated the following: "If you can talk about America's leadership, then, of course, it is a leader in the cultural debilitation of mankind. And there is no need for two entertainments for a forty-year-old father and a seven-year-old son. One Mickey Mouse is enough. "
These words outraged Viktor Erofeev, who said that in front of the audience, the programs were insulting a great nation. However, the audience met the words of N. Narochnitskaya with applause.
