MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the world’s most powerful leaders, has released astonishing information that he worked as a car driver during the economic crisis when the Soviet Union collapsed. The Soviet Union, a federation of socialist countries, collapsed in 1991 and various republics, including Russia, were formed. Putin, the current president of Russia, who served in the Soviet intelligence service, still believes in the principles of the Soviet Union. He sees the fall of the Soviet Union as the greatest political catastrophe. In this case, Putin now claims that he worked as a car driver during the collapse of the Soviet Union because of the economic crisis.
He made the remarks in a documentary on the fall of the Soviet Union. What he said in the documentary: I do not want to talk about it if I have to tell the truth. But, unfortunately that is exactly what happened. It’s true. The collapse of the Soviet Union 30 years ago was a great tragedy for most civilians. At that time I had to earn extra money. For this I worked as a car driver in a private company. Thus spoke Putin. Known as one of the most powerful leaders in the world, Putin was shocked to learn that he had worked as a car driver 30 years ago due to the economic crisis.
