Russian President Vladimir Putin at the annual major press conference agreed on those who from the inside contributed to the collapse of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union.
“Russia can not be defeated. It can only be ruined from the inside. What was safely done according to the results of the First World War, and in the 1990s, when the Soviet Union collapsed,” said the Russian leader.
Putin added that in both cases the collapse of the Russian state in the 20th century helped certain forces within the country that defended the interests of other states.
