The sisters Yevgeniya and Ksenia Karatygin are twins from the Russian province. Like many of their peers they want to become famous and this is why they came to participate in the programme Amazingly Beautiful on the MuzTV channel. This quiz show that covers topics far from those covered during school exams on history, asked the girls to define the word Holocaust. Ksenia and Yevgenia gave a very quick answer: Wallpaper paste. Their answer outraged the Russian Internet community and the media. In the Vladimir region where they live, the show is popular with a young audience. The Karatygin sisters already have a social network fan club; people write to them, ask for autographs and offer friendship. The director Mumin Shakirov arranged a trip to Auschwitz for the Karatygin sisters. The tour becomes for the girls a real lesson in history which helps them understand the magnitude of their original mistake.
