President Vladimir Putin has lamented the collapse of the Soviet Union three decades ago as the demise of what he called "historical Russia". Putin, now the powerful leader in Russia, also said that the economic crisis that followed was so bad that he was forced to moonlight as a taxi driver. Putin`s comments, released by state TV on Sunday, are likely to further fuel speculation about his foreign policy intentions among his critics.
