Eduard Limonov: "About Putin"

“Near Sobchak, he saw enough of all sorts of bad things, and this knocked him off the rails on which the KGB initially put him, with all their shortcomings, of this organization.
This is his answer, Putin. Sobchak corrupted him politically and as a person. And off we go. It seems that at first he didn’t even have any ambitions. He just fell into bad hands and went through different hands. I think at first he was ashamed to contradict the commandments of the KGB. Then I got used to it. At the highest position in the state, at first I didn’t know what to do, I decided that it meant: - rest. I didn’t do anything during the first term, everything went on its own. I spent more time in Sochi, do you remember? He said naively about the submarine, “it sank,” although he knew that it collided with a United States submarine. Still silent. Maybe he’ll admit it in his memoirs?”
