Earlier I saw a transcription request which was accepted on MO: [Transcription of an interview of Kazuya Kato](https://mathoverflow.net/questions/27621/transcription-of-an-interview-of-kazuya-kato)


But the request I have here is on the discussion about Grisha Perelman on Russian television “Moscow time” on 30.04.2010. (Language of discussion: Russian) [here](http://www-download.1tv.ru/promorolik/2010/04/pust_gov_300410.mp4).


Could anyone provide an English translation of some of the relevant parts, at least a summary?


Thanks. 



Transcription of a panel discussion about G.Perelman
Dear Unknown,


I don't think anything useful could be gained from this "panel discussion". It's from a talk show "Let them speak", one of the yellowest shows ever on the Russian TV. The panel, whose learned opinion you wish to know, included: 


An actor


A mathematician (Polishchuk, Rostislav F.,
two papers are present in the MR), 


An actress


A doctor 


A member of parliament (deputat Gosdumy)


A writer


and a former Perelman's secondary school teacher.


Personally, I gave up watching after the telephone
call from the teacher (whom I disliked almost
instantly) to Perelman, initiated from the TV
studio.


To give you a feeling let me translate this piece: 


*Perelman.* Hallo. 


*Teacher.* Grishen'ka, hello. Do you recognize me? Hallo?


*P.* Yeah... 


*T.* It is Valentina Vasil'evna. Listen, Grisha, 
journalists surrounded me from all sides, 
all of them asking: why did you reject the million? 
Answer me, please. 


*P.* Valentina Vasil'evna, I've already told them,
not an interview to anybody. 


*T.* No, eh? And to me? 


*P.* And to you. 


*T.* OK, that's clear. Subject to the general rule,
am I? What do you do these days? 


*P.* Let's not talk about that. I feel they're recording our conversation, I don't want...


*T.* Don't want, yeah? D'you think, the world
around you is hostile, since you don't want
so... That people are like hedgehogs to you? 
Or you are like a hedgehog to them? 


*P.* Valentina Vasil'evna, could you please call
me some time later? 


*T.* I do. 


*P.* All the best. 


*T.* All the best.
