‘I will take only 30 seconds or one minute to give you a short reference to history, for giving you a historical background,’ offered the Russian president. Carlson agreed, and Putin embarked on a long and mostly uninterrupted lesson, beginning with how Russia’s relationship with Ukraine formed and where Ukraine came from. Russian President Vladimir Putin delivered a long history lesson at the very start of the interview Putin’s story began in 862 AD and went to present day.
