Russian President Vladimir Putin was a taxi driver in his spare time to make ends meet after the collapse of the USSR, which he said marked the end of "historic Russia", according to a documentary soon to be broadcast on Russian television.

A former KGB secret service agent, Vladimir Putin, who has deplored the fall of the Soviet empire in the past, said some 30 years later that the event remains a "tragedy" for "most citizens", according to excerpts from the "Russia. Recent History" film to be broadcast on Channel One and reported on by the RIA Novosti agency.
