The members of the Russian bikers club ‘Night Wolves’ plan to ride through Poland on a journey to Berlin to mark the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

The leader of the Polish bikers club ‘Rajd Katynski’, Wiktor Wegrzyn, will together with his club support the Russian bikers who are planning to drive through Poland.

Surveys have found the people of Poland divided over whether or not to allow a Russian motorcycle club through Poland on their way to Berlin for Victory Day celebrations. - Sputnik International
Poles Split Over Letting Russian Bikers Pass Through on Ride to Berlin
According to Wegrzyn, all the negative reviews about the Russian bikers club ‘Night Wolves’ is the result of a media conspiracy. “All bikers are brothers. If anyone tries to harm them, we will protect them.”

The members of the Russian bikers club ‘Night Wolves’ plan to ride through Poland on a journey to Berlin to mark the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany.

About 40 participants will leave from Moscow on April 25. They plan to drive through Minsk, Brest, Wrocław, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Munich and Prague. The journey is to end on May 9 in Berlin, where the bikers will lay flowers at the monument to the Soviet soldiers in Treptower Park in Berlin.

Poland’s prime minister has spoken out against the plan. The German newspaper Die Welt previously reported, citing a source in law enforcement, that the authorities will not permit the Russian bikers to spend May 9 in the German capital.

But despite all that, Czech media reported that immediately after the news of the Russian ‘Night Wolves’ passing through European countries was spread, it generated avid debate on social media.

In the first three days the ‘Night Wolves’ received support from over 1,620 readers. On the contrary, several opponent groups in the Czech Republic and Slovakia expressed their intention to organize protests on their route.
