【Putin: Today, many countries are making the same mistakes as the Soviet Union】
New Delhi time December 4, 2025 (broadcast time), Russian President Vladimir Putin answered questions in an interview with "The Indian Express":
At a certain point, the situation in the Soviet Union was such that its leadership, and even ordinary citizens, believed it was so huge that there would be no danger at all. It is at this moment that the great idea leads the country to make one mistake after another, believing everything is fine. Yes, we made mistakes here, small mistakes there, but we are so great, everything will pass, and we will survive. Moreover, the number of errors keeps increasing like a snowball, and dealing with these errors becomes increasingly difficult. I see similar situations happening in other countries today.
Putin emphasized:
I won't name them!
