Did Vladimir Putin call the breakup of the USSR 'the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century?' Putin’s 2005 speech to Russians Putin, a veteran of the Soviet spy agency called the KGB,made the comments Bolton cites in an April 2005 state of the nation address to the country’s top politicians and parliament. A version is available in English from the Kremlin archives. Putin’s words vary depending on the translation, but the idea remains the same. From the Kremlin: "Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself." The Associated Press translation is a little differently, subbing "catastrophe" for "disaster," and calling the breakup the "greateast geopolitical catastrophe of the century." politifact.com While searching, I realized that almost everything you post about Putin is wrong.
