1:18Now PlayingRussian president Vladimir Putin has said that when Peter the Great founded his new capital St Petersburg no European country recognised it as Russia.
During a meeting on Thursay with young entrepreneurs in Moscow he said:"Everybody recognized it as Sweden. And Slavic people have always lived there along with Finno-Ugric people, and the territory was under the control of Russian state."
Putin also offered a theory that "a country is either sovereign or a colony" and there is nothing in-between.
A country is either sovereign or a colony, whatever you want to call that colony. I won't be giving any examples now not to offend anybody, but if a country or a group of countries is incapable of making sovereign decisions, then it's a colony," he said.
