Prime Minister Vladimir Putin was worried about his call to "wet the militants in the toilet." According to Interfax, Putin said about this at a meeting with employees of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Plant. “Remember, I blurted out that we would wet there somewhere? I was somewhere on the road, flew to St. Petersburg and in upset feelings. My friend asks me-what are you so sad? I say-I blurted out something, apparently, I shouldn’t get into such a level, to grind like that, so, he says: you know, and I was driving a taxi and a taxiist and a taxiist says something there. Some man appeared - the right things say! ”, The prime minister said. At the same time, as RIA Novosti reports, Putin believes that "in fact, everything said correctly."
Remembering the times of the beginning of the Second Chechen War, Putin said that he had to make a difficult decision. "In 1999, when there was an attack on Dagestan and it was necessary to chew snot for months, wait for the elections - no matter what happened. Because it was obvious that society did not support any war," Putin said. According to him, at that time the society is "tired of the blood, and it seemed that there was no internal forces to deal with what was happening."
“But it was clear for me in any case, that if you do not start acting consistently and hard, then you can lead the country to the collapse. There was a choice for me. To be honest, I decided that everything was, and I was then the chairman of the government, and I had to make a decision. I decided - my career ended,” Putin said.
“In my life there were situations when I had to make this choice for myself and take a chance. When, without exaggeration, I need to put everything on the card. But I always succeeded, in any case, to make a decision in the direction of how my heart tells,” Putin said. In such cases, he had a feeling "well, everything, collecting suitcases." “Oddly enough, all the time - and turned into an unexpected positive side,” the prime minister concluded.
On September 24, 1999, Putin said that "Russian planes are inflicting and will strike in Chechnya exclusively on terrorist bases, and this will continue, wherever the terrorists are." “We will pursue terrorists everywhere. At the airport - at the airport. So, excuse me, we’ll catch me in the toilet, we’ll soak them in the toilet, in the end,” Putin said, commenting on the bombing of Grozny.
After the explosions in the Moscow metro in 2010, Putin said that the organizers of the attacks should be "picked out of the sewage system." "We know that they lay to the bottom. But this is a matter of the honor of law enforcement agencies - to pick them out from this bottom of the sewer to the light of God. I am sure that this will be done," Putin said.
