Putin said that he responded to Yeltsin’s offer to become president

MOSCOW, March 13 President Vladimir Putin remembered , that when his predecessor Boris Yeltsin asked him to run for the highest government post, he replied that he was not ready. The Russian leader spoke about this in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselev for Russia 1 and .
«It's like the Yankees at the court of King Arthur or something like that. It is impossible to answer this question, because the question was asked at that time, in the historical and economic context in which the country was located, in the internal political situation from the point of view from the point of view of internal security. And all this together prompted me to give the answer that I gave: “I’m not ready for this,” Putin said.

He admitted that he answered that way not because he was afraid, but because the scale of the tasks was enormous and the problems grew every day like a snowball.

"So I said sincerely. And not because, I repeat, I was afraid of something. But because I thought that I was not ready to solve all these problems, and God forbid I would do something even worse. That's what we were talking about. That's why I said it absolutely sincerely. And if I came back, I would repeat the same thing.”

According to him , conversations with Yeltsin became decisive.

“The most important thing, in the end, is what he answered me then? He said: “Okay, okay, okay, I understand. We will return to this later.» And we returned to this several times. In the end, he said that “I am an experienced person, I know what I do, what I offer.” Well, he told me some other things. It’s probably inconvenient to praise yourself — well, I said such positive words,” Putin said.
And when the work started, everything was completely different there, he noted.
«It's not a matter of fear, but a matter of understanding, the ability to solve these problems. Remember what 1999 was like — in the economy, in the security sphere, in finance. Yes, in everything,» the president concluded.
