Putin Reveals He Moonlighted as a Taxi Driver
Russias’ Vladimir Putin Reveals He Moonlighted as a Taxi Driver After Soviet Union Collapse
Putin was discussing the economic crisis that Russia suffered following the breakup of the Soviet Union in a TV documentary called “Russia. Recent History.” The Russian leader reportedly said it was “unpleasant” to talk about his time moonlighting as a taxi driver. BBC News 14 DEC 2021. https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/imag...89&w=929&h=523 https://images.dearborn.org/wp-conte...1312-PUTIN.jpg Russian President Vladimir Putin gave a candid interview for a film that delves into the fall of the Soviet Union and opened up about a time in his life when he was far from occupying the highest seat in the Kremlin. Putin, who was interviewed in Channel One’s "Russia. Recent History," said at the time of the collapse, he had to make ends meet, so he occasionally drove a taxi, the Guardian reported. "Sometimes I had to earn extra money," the former KGB agent said, according to the report. "I mean, earn extra money by car, as a private driver. It’s unpleasant to talk about to be honest but, unfortunately, that was the case." https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/zG...cbdb7a3f21140f Vladimir Putin talks to Governor of Pskov Mikhail Vedernikov during the opening ceremony of the monument to Prince Alexander Nevsky and His Guard at the supposed location of 1224 Battle on Ice, also known as Lake Peipus. The paper pointed out that Putin once called the Soviet Union’s collapse the "greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th Century." Putin has been accused by critics of being obsessed with reestablishing the old Soviet Union. "As I look at Russia, I’m concerned that their ambition does not stop with Ukraine," Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said in a Senate committee hearing last week. "Putin’s ambition, personally, is much broader and what happens in Ukraine is an appetizer for a growing appetite on his part." Putin’s defenders take the Russian president at his word when he says the separatists fighting in Donbass are not tied to Moscow. They say Putin is lashing out against an over-assertive NATO. U.S. intelligence reports last week said Russia had moved 70,000 troops to Ukraine’s borders as it builds toward a possible invasion early next year. Biden spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy by phone for more than an hour Thursday. BLINKEN SAYS RUSSIA WILL FACE MASSIVE CONSEQUENCES IF IT INVADES UKRAINE Biden assured Zelenskyy of support for Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also renewed a pledge that the U.S. and its allies would hit Russia with economic sanctions and intensify defensive aid to Ukraine and NATO allies nearest to Russia if Russia did invade, the White House said. |

Vladimir Putin Smuggled President Zelensky Out of War-Torn Ukraine
Vladimir Putin Lookalike Smuggles Zelensky Impersonator Out of War-Torn Ukraine
The professional Vladimir Putin lookalike, Slawek Sobala, enlisted the help of Howard X, an impersonator of the North Korean despot, to take Umid Isabaev from war-torn Kyiv into Poland Daily Mirror 17 MAR 2022 https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S260687822.jpg A Volodymyr Zelensky impersonator has been successfully smuggled out of war-torn Kyiv by Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-un lookalikes. ' Slawek Sobala, a professional Putin impersonator from Poland, enlisted fellow professional Howard X, who impersonates Kim, to take Zelensky across the border out of Ukraine. Umid Isabaev, who makes a living as a Zelensky doppelganger, had been living and working in the Ukrainian capital before Russia invaded - leaving him fearful for his safety, Daily Star reports. Originally from Uzbekistan, Umid's career began after a photo of him on the metro in Russia went viral - leading to him becoming a professional impersonator. Kim Jong-un lookalike Howard X reached out to Salwek after he learned Umid was trapped in Kyiv and offered to help. The pair co-ordinated a rescue mission with the help of a member of the Ukrainian resistance to safely extract Umid from the city. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S260688863.jpg Kim Jong-un impersonator Howard X with Slawek On March 8, Umid fled to a safe house more than 100km from his Kyiv apartment before laying low for a couple of days, then continuing his journey by car to the Shehyni border checkpoint in Lviv Oblast. Here, he crossed over to Poland at around 7.45am on March 12 alongside reams of other refugees. Howard X told the Daily Star: "When the war started, I thought of Umid because I know he's living in Ukraine. "I got in touch with him and told him 'you need to get out of here' because who knows what will happen if Russia gets hold of a Zelensky double." https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S260711150.jpg Umid, from Uzbekistan, was on the metro in Russia in 2019 when someone took a photo of him and it went viral, starting his career as a Zelensky lookalike Umid was first employed by a Russian film producer for two years starting in 2019. However, upon the completion of the contract, he was flown out by Zelensky’s production company to Kyiv where he was given an apartment to live in and a job in the city. Umid has met President Zelensky, a former actor, in person on several occasions. But when Russia invaded Ukraine, he wanted out. "Kyiv was without sunshine, it was snowing," he told the Daily Star. "And every five to 10 minutes a bomb was heard, Kyiv was very noisy." Howard X says people "were reluctant to help [Umid] at the beginning". "They wanted to get women and children out of the country first, not an immigrant from Uzbekistan," he said. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S260687786.jpg Umid plans to stay in Poland and find work as a lookalike "When he arrived at the border, he was detained by the staff because of his nationality. "He eventually got through and from what I heard, the border staff laughed when they realised how much he looked like Zelensky." Howard, who also helped a Bruce Lee impersonator get out of Afghanistan last year, said he is helping to pay for Umid's accommodation and food. Meanwhile, Slawek told the Daily Star that he "managed to bring [Umid] first to the Polish border and then to Wroclaw with the involvement of my friends in Ukraine." Slawek, who lives in Wroclaw, Poland, received Umid and the pair were pictured having a pint together after the successful extraction. https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incomin...S260687801.jpg Slawek said 'human life cannot be measured with money' . |
