The magazine cites Vienna police spokesman Roman Hahslinger, who told the magazine that "we anticipate that everything will remain peaceful." The bikers plan to travel to the Schwarzenbergplatz, central Vienna, where they will lay a wreath at the Soviet War Memorial. According to the publication, their ride has generated a lot of interest from local residents.
A poll conducted on the magazine's website found that over 90 percent of its readers are in favor of the Night Wolves' free passage.
Commenting on the fact that Poland, the Czech Republic and Germany have denied the bikers entry, Contra argues that "Austria is just a little different from those EU states which are almost pathologically addicted to Russophobia."
The magazine comments on the absurdity of calling the bikers, who are carrying Soviet and Red Army flags, 'ultranationalist'.
