"Night Wolves" are approaching Poland

Bikers from the Night Wolves club, making a motorcycle rally from Moscow to Berlin, left the territory of Belarus through the Brest checkpoint and headed towards the Polish checkpoint Terespol.

Total in the column about 15 motorcycles. Bikers removed the Russian flag from the head machine and handed it to the representative of the Russian consulate. Before that, they said that the consul would be present when crossing the Polish border, but the diplomat remained with the flag on the Belarusian side.

Polish authorities have previously stated that they will not allow Russian bikers into the country.

Sources in the border service of Belarus said that the Polish side had been very carefully checking the documents of all those who cross the border over the past few days. In particular, some bikers were denied entry last night who did not have a hotel booked.

As one of the Night Wolves participating in the run said, their documents are in order and they hope that Poland will still let them through.

Moscow-Berlin motor race

On April 25, bikers from the Night Wolves club began a motorcycle rally from Moscow to Berlin.

The route with a length of about 6 thousand kilometers, as reported, should pass through the territory of Belarus, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria and Germany. Motorcyclists intend to end the race on May 9.

Along the way, they are going to visit memorials dedicated to the Second World War.

16 April it became known that the "Night Wolves" refused to travel through Berlin.

Before the start of the race, the Polish authorities also stated that they would not allow bikers to travel through their territory. Polish users of the social network Facebook opened two pages - one in support, the other demanding a ban on the motorcycle rally.

The German authorities also announced that they intend to prevent the actions of Russian bikers. The Czech Republic also expressed protest against the Night Wolves action.

Club leader Alexander Zaldostanov, also known under the pseudonym Surgeon, said that the club will not abandon plans to hold a motorcycle rally, despite the bans. “If we listen to all this, then let’s abandon everything altogether: May 9, our dead, our history and our values,” he said.

Zaldostanov himself reportedly stayed in Moscow, since his passport is in the embassy of one of the countries of the Schengen Agreement. He promised to catch up with the convoy of motorcyclists if he received a Schengen visa.
