>“I generally don't like comics - it's like chewing gum, it's not food. The comic is aimed at a child who is just learning to read, but to an adult to read comics seems to me squalor, ”Mr Medinsky said.
>Agency “Moscow” quotes the minister in a different way: “For an adult to read comics is to admit that“ I am a moron, I read comics ”. It’s probably possible to collect them, it’s fun, but don’t read it. ” It is clarified that the Minister of Culture opposed the creation of comics dedicated to historical events.
>The statement was made at the opening of the 32nd Moscow International Book Fair, which takes place from September 4 to 8 at VDNH.
