Russian bikers refused entry to Poland
Polish border guards refused entry to the Night Wolves motorcycle club members travelling to the motor rally “Roads of Victory - to Berlin 2019”.
The incident occurred on the Belarusian-Polish border, where the Night Wolves club members gathered, arriving not only from Russia but also from Germany, Poland and Italy.
“Yesterday we said that there were no problems at the border,” wrote representatives of the Night Wolves Polish branch Nocne Wilki on their Facebook account on May 1. Unfortunately, the bus with our technical equipment was not allowed to cross the border. The border guards were very nice, and we could see that they were simply carrying out orders from “above”.
According to the leader of the Night Wolves Polish branch, Dariusz Kachmarchik, bikers with German passports were also not allowed into Poland, and the motorcyclists from Italy were kept at the border for eight hours.
Later, a convoy of about 30 motorcyclists arrived in Warsaw, where bikers laid wreaths at the Mausoleum of the Soviet Soldiers Cemetery, as well as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. On their way to Berlin, the Night Wolves planned to lay flowers at the monument to the victims of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army in Wroclaw and honor the memory of the prisoners of Auschwitz.
Recently, an ideological scandal in Poland was associated with Russian bikers, when several motorcyclists headed by the local Gold Wing Club president Aytek Bayramkulov arrived at the cemetery for Soviet soldiers in jackets with Königsberg patch.
