Vladimir Putin Doesn't Want US to Think of Him as a 'Czar'

Russian President Vladimir Putin told 60 Minutes' Charlie Rose that he doesn't want people in the US to think of him as a "czar." President Putin added that he admires the openness and creativity in the United States.

The title of czar "does not fit me. It's not important how I'm called, whether these are well-wishers, friends or political opponents," He said. "It's important what you... must do for the interest of the country which has entrusted you with the position as the head of the Russian state."

Putin will meet with President Barack Obama next week, in the hopes of finding a way to work together on Syria and Ukraine.
