On April 29, participants of the motor race ‘Victory Roads – To Berlin’ dedicated to the 73rd anniversary of the victory over Nazis, will visit the Stalin Line, the Belarusian Defense Ministry reports.
Around 10 000 bikers, including pro-Kremlin club The Night Wolves, are expected to take part in the race.
On April 24, the Wolves started from Stavropol, their leader Alexander Zaldostanov, a close friend of Vladimir Putin, said on social media.

It is the fourth time the notorious biker club Night Wolves will made an attempt to cross the Belarus-EU border in Brest. Earlier, they were repeatedly barred by the Polish authorities.
The Wolves are vocal supporters of the intervention in Ukraine and co-organisers of Antimaidan in Russia.
In a recent interview with the Russian media, Zaldostanov said his bikers would go through Belarus to the west carrying the flag of Victory as well as those of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republic.
During his last stay in our country, Zaldostanov said that ‘Belarus is Russia’.
Being denied entry to Poland on May 1, 2016, they returned to Belarus and shared their impressions with journalists. When Belsat TV contributor Ales Lyauchuk said the USSR was Hitler’s ally at the beginning of the Second World War and referred to the Nazi-Soviet Pact signed in August 1939, Alexander Zaldostanov could not come up with any sensible answer and pushed Mr Lyauchuk away saying ‘Bugger off!’.
