Where has he said he takes full responsibility? Or any responsibility? Find me one site, whether Western or Russian or any source.
He blames the West for part of it and low oil prices but never takes any responsibility at all or talks about his policies. He makes a vague reference in that video regarding 'heads of state' but that's it.
He also looks like he's going on full nutso mode:

These problems were inevitable and he stole from the people with his oligarch friends. It's been happening for decades and stupid people there either put their heads in the sand or even supported the burglary.
I think, here, he blames the central banks in a vague statement?:
"В целом должна быть поднята персональная ответственность в Центральном банке и ответственных сотрудников правительства РФ за результаты работы на каждом участке, который им доверен. Вместе с тем считаю, что в целом административные структуры правительственной и финансовой власти справляются с тем задачами и проблемами, перед которыми стоит сегодня страна", — отметил он.
