During the interview on the Today programme, Humphrys asked Eugene, whose simulated nationality is Ukranian, whether he supported the government in Kiev or in Moscow.
Clearly misunderstanding the question, Eugene replied: "All Russian cities especially St Petersburg are famous for beautiful historical buildings, cathedrals and castles. Unfortunately they don't have enough money to keep them in a good state or at least clean."
Eugene was also asked whether "he liked girls".
"I like girls but only if they look attractive," he replied. "In my class most of them are either fat or pimpled. Actually I am a little overweight too."
Later in the interview, having been questioned on what he liked to do "apart from mixing with girls", Eugene repeated: "I like girls but only if they look attractive. In my class most of them are either fat or pimpled. Actually I am a little overweight too."
Humphrys remarked: "That's the same answer you gave to me just a moment ago."
