Russian B Aikers from the Night Wolves club are going to get to Germany for two days , I was informed by the leader of the organization Alexander Zaldostanov, who arrived in Brest, nicknamed surgeon . How exactly motorcyclists plan to do this , the surgeon did not specify: they say, you have to hide the information in order to achieve the goal.
On April 27, a group of Russian bikers tried to travel to Poland . There were no problems on the Belarusian border. Moreover, Belarusian border guards shook the hand of each of the "night wolves." However, the same warm welcome to the motorcyclists was rendered throughout the route through Belarus-they were met with bread and salt, during a visit to the Memorial complexes "Kurgan Glory" and "Khatyn" were accompanied by representatives of the administration of the President of Belarus, the Minsk Oblast Executive Committee, the Belarusian Republican Union of Youth.
However, on the border with Poland, the situation has changed. One of the leaders of the motorcycle Andrei Bobrovsky , who was canceled by the Schengen visa, complained about the "inadequate actions" of the Polish side:
"Night Wolves" in the center of Brest
-Firstly, they refused all participants at the entrance to the territory of Poland. And the second point - me, the leader of the group, was included in the sanctions lists. That is, they canceled the visa and, in fact, banned the entrance to the Schengen zone. As for the attitude, in fact, we were searched for three hours, interrogated, drunk, they didn’t give us, they kept it in the room-not to say that it was stuffy, but the fact itself. It was forbidden to make a photo or video. Some helicopters flew, on the street they saw a bunch of special forces who "guarded us". The attitude, respectively, is clearly unkind.
After checking at the Terespol border control point , as well as several minibuses and cars that accompanied the mileage participants, deployed back. To help, comrades from Moscow urgently came a surgeon - the ideological leader of the "Night Wolves" Alexander Zaldostanov . On Tuesday, he gave a press conference at the Russian Consulate in Brest, threatening that the Russophobes will soon pay for what they were doing: “Get playing out,” the surgeon said:
You just do not provoke me with different questions, answer such questions yourself - how can it all end
- Those who start this Russophobia, I say - will play out. It is with this Russophobia that you are starting here. I do not say and do not address it to some specific persons, but in general. Moreover, I am grateful to the Polish people for support, and I said this at a press conference. But you just do not provoke me with different questions, answer such questions yourself - how it all can end, all this continuing hysteria. You know, sometimes a cowardly person is like a rat, driven into a corner. A rat that can rush and bite. So the coward with a fright can shoot. I mean it. This hysteria, obscurantism can make them press the trigger. What will happen later - I think, no need to explain to anyone.
Zaldostanov called what was happening on the Polish border “cheap Shapito” and “provincial theater”, assuring the journalists that the “night wolves” motorbike in Europe will be held anyway. At the same time, he refused to report how the action would be carried out: “Two days later you will receive a report from there,” said Zaldostanov, clarifying that the bikers, who were banned from entering Poland on the eve, would not take part in the motorbike.
According to him, he has a message to European veterans from war veterans from the Oryol and Tula regions, so the sacred duty is to deliver it to recipients: “The message will be delivered along the previously declared route,” the biker promised.

On Tuesday, several dozen motorcycles with Russian, Belarusian and Soviet flags drove through the center of Brest. Members of the Russian motorcycle club say that they do not intend to abandon the idea of conducting the Victory Road. In particular, Zaldostanov said that the Polish bikers invited the Russians to drive instead on the route, but he emphasized, it was precisely the "night wolves" should be done.
Participants in the motorcycle will again attempt to drive to Poland through different checkpoints. On the Belarusian-Polish border, there are five such points: three in the Brest region and two in Grodno.
Zaldostanov himself is the initiator of the Anti -Maidan movement and is one of the Russian citizens who have fallen in the list of all -in -law in the USA and Canada. In the corresponding official lists of the European Union, it seems to be not listed, but the "night wolves" claim that some unofficial "black lists" are allegedly instructed to them.
I want to say many thanks to the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko
The surgeon expressed gratitude to the Belarusian authorities. According to him, before he had no relations with the Belarusian leadership, but in this case everything was decided in a couple of hours: “I want to say many thanks to the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko,” he said.
At today's press conference, in addition to Zaldostanov, there were ten participants in the motorcycle, who were not allowed to Poland on the eve of the Russian Federation, as well as the consul of the Russian Federation in Brest, Nikita Matkovsky. The diplomat, in particular, expressed the opinion that everything that happened on the border "was not accidental."
The declared motorbike along the route Moscow - Minsk - Brest - Vroclav - Brno -Bratislav - Vienna - Prague - Munich - Berlin (May 9) caused a negative reaction in European countries. On April 24, the Poland Foreign Ministry transferred a note to Warsaw Embassy in Warsaw, in which he refused a group of Russian motorcyclists at the entrance to Polish territory.
Meanwhile, Petersburg is preparing to accept on May 2 to open the Motoseson of the "Night Wolves" from Moscow. However, the city’s motorcyclists, united in the St. Petersburg motorized council, see a surgeon on Palace Square and turn a motorcycle holiday, although dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazism, do not want to a political rally. They are supported by democratic organizations of St. Petersburg .
The concern of the community of St. Petersburg motorcyclists, and in St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, there are at least 35 motorcycle clubs, caused the appearance on April 15 on the Motobratan.ru website that Moscow "night wolves" led by Alexander Zaldostanov (surgeon) arrived in St. Petersburg. Moreover, there was information that the surgeon had already met with the governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko and agreed with him on May 2 on the Palace Square of a political rally in the style of Antimaydan. Representatives of St. Petersburg motorcycle clubs held two meetings of the motorized council of St. Petersburg. The results were announced by the representative of The Hooligans MC, Alexander Okatov :
Alexander Okatov
- Clubs do not support such an arrival of the Moscow representative bypassing St. Petersburg motorcycle. The surgeon did not collect the emergency motorcycle council of St. Petersburg, did not report that he would come. We all know what political actions are held for them. In addition, a clear program of their stay in St. Petersburg was not presented. This was strained all, everyone was discussed on both the emergency motorcycle advantage of St. Petersburg, and on the last spring.
In fairness, it should be noted that the "night wolves" in St. Petersburg traditionally opened the motorcycle season. However, recently, the influence of this club on the community of St. Petersburg motorcyclists has decreased sharply. The matter came to the point that the motorcycle store was proposed to replace the “Night Wolves” logo at the current opening of the motorcycle season on the main stage of the Palace Square on the logo of the motorized council or the coat of arms of St. Petersburg.
As a result, at the last meeting of the motorized council on April 18 - it took place with the participation of a representative of the governor - it was decided to carry out anonymous voting on the Internet on three issues: who should organize the opening and closing of the motorcycle season in St. Petersburg - the motorcycle council selected at his meeting, the club or traditionally "night wolves"? By April 24, judging by the results of the vote, in which both Muscovites and the inhabitants of other cities took part, the majority of the votes were given to the Night Wolves club. However, judging by the results of the voting of Petersburgers, the majority spoke out for the motorcycle council .
It is curious to note that a wide variety of communities took active participation in the vote. For example, activists of a gay-out club called against the "night wolves" against the "night wolves". The motorcyclist from the Free Ingria group Inna Demidov explained the such results of the vote, the activities of trolls, Moscow and Stavropol:
I think that the entire sensible part of motorcyclists will not take part in this event
- Initially, this vote was held in the group of motorcycle communities, in particular, in the group of the Motosovet of St. Petersburg. The idea to prevent the celebration of the opening of the motosason into a political rally won. But, it is not known on whose initiative, Stavropol and Moscow were connected to voting. What do they have to do with the internal affairs of St. Petersburg, I do not understand. Some completely strangers were also seen there. Thus, at the moment, the opinion was at the moment that everyone was very eager to see as leaders of the holiday of "night wolves". We, in the Ingermanland communities, have many motorcyclists, which, of course, are against such a "holiday". I think that the entire sensible part of the motorcyclists will not take part in this event, because the media will turn the opening of the motorcycle season into a completely different event. A person who comes to express his protest against this political event will be shown as one of the people who came to support this action. I think you just need to ignore this event.

Indignation of the upcoming visit to St. Petersburg by Alexander Zaldostanov was expressed by activists of the Coalition "Democratic Petersburg" , uniting the Yabloko party, the Solidarity movement, the Republican Union, Christian Democrats of St. Petersburg and other parties and public organizations of the city. Says the co -chair of the St. Petersburg organization of the Solidarity movement Vsevolod Neelaev :
- We discussed this situation at a meeting of the Organizing Committee for the preparation of the Pervomaisian anti -war democratic march, and this is a much larger association than the Coalition "Democratic Petersburg". We unanimously came to the conclusion that it would be nice to support those freedom-loving motorcyclists who are categorically against bringing to their traditional holiday-the opening of the 15th motorcycle season of St. Petersburg-elements of politics, and which is known. This, as we saw on the previous motorbikes of the "Night Wolves", are the portraits of Stalin. These are actual calls for reprisals against supporters of the Maidan. This is the "anti -Maidan" movement of the surgeon. The very politicization of the 70th anniversary of Victory is unacceptable. To strain the political show from this holiday is completely immoral.
Turning the festive column of motorcyclists into a protesting mass incorrectly, but in fact, simply dishonorable
On April 24, the St. Petersburg motorcycle council disseminated an application , which, in particular, said: it is said:
"To turn the festive column of motorcyclists into a protesting mass, even if she hidden by the holy slogans of the Great Victory, incorrectly, and in fact, simply dishonestly ... an attempt to calmly conduct this in a city with extremely independent views looks just a scam and cannot but cause a strong opposition to St. Petersburg motorcyclists. The concept of" fifth column "is not so often stigered not consonants with the policy of the Night Wolves, appeared during the Civil War in Spain at the end of the thirties, when the traitors of the city were ready to open the gate to the enemy and shot the defenders of Madrid in the back.
Dear motorcyclists of the city of St. Petersburg, take care of what you have now read: think over your civic position, do not follow empty promises and false slogans.
Do not succumb to speculation, this is our city, our victory and our holidays! "
Whether the St. Petersburg motorcyclists will hear this call, we will see on May 2 in Palace Square.
