“You have a gold medal from high school. Can you be called a nerd?” Demin asked Kondratyuk.
“I’m a nerd in the sense that I hate illiterate people who climb up. I just stupidly hate them. But not in the sense that I would drown or hang them – I don’t understand how a person who bought himself a diploma, never studied anywhere, claims to be a deputy, a minister? In this sense, I’m a nerd. I will hate them for the rest of my life,” Kondratyuk responded. .Be competent, although education and competence are two very different things.”
