No, what Putin said was the collapse of the Soviet Union was a tragedy (that is the nation as borders not the soviet system). If you bother to read the rest of the speech, or even the rest of the paragraph that is obvious. But if you choose to limit yourself to the "honesty" of the MSM and let it lead you by the nose with it's unique ability to take one line out of a two page speech, well then it says a lot.

Putin was KGB and the Russian Orthodox Church was penetrated by the KGB. Also, Putin said that he would never bury lenin as long as he was in power.
