Vladimir Putin says he drove a taxi after fall of Soviet Union
Putin was dismayed when the Soviet Union fell apart, once describing the collapse as 'the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century
Russian President Vladimir Putin drove a taxi to boost his income following the fall of the Soviet Union, state-run news agency RIA Novosti reported on Sunday.
In a documentary film, RIA-Novosti quoted the Russian leader as saying: “Sometimes I had to earn extra money.”
“I mean, earn extra money by car, as a private driver. It’s unpleasant to talk about to be honest but, unfortunately, that was the case.”
Putin’s devastation over Soviet demise
Putin said the collapse of the USSR spelled the end of “historical Russia.”
He has previously lamented its disintegration three decades ago, saying it remains a “tragedy” for “most citizens.”
The end of the Soviet Union brought with it a period of severe economic instability that plunged millions into poverty, as newly independent Russia evolved from communism to capitalism.
A loyal servant of the Soviet Union, Putin was dismayed when it fell apart, once describing the collapse as “the greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century.”
Putin’s comments come as critics accuse him of planning to recreate the Soviet Union with an invasion of Ukraine. The Kremlin has so far dismissed the idea as fear-mongering by the West, and that Moscow would only attack its neighbor so if provoked by Kyiv or another state.
