“Russian President Vladimir Putin said while delivering remarks at a ceremonial reception marking Victory Day [that] the events of June 22, 1941 will always serve as a reminder of the consequences of blind belief in one’s superiority and racism demonstrated by Nazi Germany”
SINGLE SOURCE
While the event (Victory Day reception) is confirmed by other evidence, the specific quote regarding 'blind belief in one's superiority and racism' is not found in the provided web search or Wikipedia results. The web results for 'Vladimir' were mostly about a TV series, and the Wikipedia entries on Putin are general. Only the original claim context (implied by the TASS-style reporting in other claims) supports this, but no independent second source confirms this specific phrasing.
