The head of the Russian state over the weekend spoke about the experience of working as a taxi driver in the 1990s. More precisely, he said that he was moonlighting as a private cab driver.
“Sometimes I had to earn extra money as a cab. It’s unpleasant to talk about it, but, unfortunately, that was also the case, ”he said in an interview for the film“ Newest History ”, a fragment of which was published by the TV channel“ Russia 24 ”.
Earlier, Putin claimed that he was thinking of going to work as a “private trader” after the mayor of St. Petersburg Anatoly Sobchak in 1996 lost the governor’s elections. The head of the Russian state then headed the campaign headquarters of the mayor of St. Petersburg.
He had never said before that he actually gave people a lift for money. Perhaps he did this, but, apparently, for a very short time. In any case, he was not unemployed, so it was quite problematic to work fully as a “taxi driver”.
In January 1990, Putin completed a business trip to the GDR and returned to Leningrad, where he worked in the “Big House” on Liteiny Prospekt. Since the early spring of 1990, Putin’s main official place of work has been Leningrad State University. At Leningrad State University, Putin became an assistant to the rector for international affairs. He recommended the then KGB officer Anatoly Sobchak. In May 1990, shortly after Sobchak was elected chairman of the Leningrad City Council of People’s Deputies, Putin became his adviser. On June 28, 1991, after Sobchak was elected to the post of mayor, he became acting chairman, and from July 15 – chairman of the Committee for External Relations of the Leningrad City Hall.
The period when Putin could theoretically “tax” is 1990. It is unlikely that later he would physically have enough time for this.
One way or another, Vladimir Putin spoke about the work of the “bombila” and there is no reason not to believe him. Well worked and worked. But on social networks, many do not believe in this and, moreover, joke about this topic. Basically, representing Vladimir Putin as a taxi driver in the 1990s. Rosbalt Like has collected the best 10 memes and jokes on the topic.
