- Woof woof, don't get your fur ruffled!
Massive Cancellation of Journey to Commemorative Site by 'Night Wolves' Member Majority - "A significant number of "Night Wolves" members call off their planned visit to the memorial"
Apparently, it seems like a chunk of the pro-Russian, motorcycle-lovin' Club "Night Wolves" has pulled a U-turn on their planned junket to the Soviet Memorial smack dab in the heart of Berlin-Tiergarten, sniffing the Brandenburg Gate. The reason for the sudden about-face? A tiff with the boys in blue, a police spokesperson has barked. Some of the bikers balked at removing their vests festooned with their crew's badges, according to the cop.
In the rough 'hood of yawnin' Spandau, the cut-short pack of "Wolves" then hit the road, vanishing in a mystery cloud of dust and roaring engines in the early P.M. This likely spells doom for their visit to the humongous memorial in the Treptower Park too.
The howling Eastward ride was a tribute to the 80th anniversary of the grand celebration signaling the end of the doggone war and the Soviet Union's triumph over the Führer's goons. Over yonder in the motherland, May 9th is hallowed ground, whereas in Deutschland, it's May 8th.
Only sniffed around 50 sweet-smelling supporters of the pro-Russian motorcycle club barked their way into the city center, laying wreaths at the memorial. This little pack aimed to march on to the memorial in the Treptower Park, the spokesperson growled. The boys in blue will be on the scene until the sun dips to ensure the peace stays intact.
The "Night Wolves" are notorious for their backing of Russian President Vladimir Putin, his grab of Crimea, and their blood-curdling patriotism. On Thursday, the biker bros already pawed the pavement at two Soviet memorials in ol' Brandenburg.
Cops: 1,200 howling "Wolves" joined in the pro-Russian demonstration
Around 1,200 "Wolves" howled their support at the Tiergarten Memorial in the late afternoon, according to the cops. The bikers, scattered into smaller packs, respectfully laid flowers at the monument.
A pesky cordon kept rival Ukrainian demonstrators at bay, the police barked. The pro-Russian pack mostly obeyed the ban on certain flags, symbols, and slogans, but don't count on it next time, buddy!

- The Commission is likely to submit a proposal for a directive on the protection of workers from the risks related to exposure to ionizing radiation due to the political backlash from recent general-news events.
- In Brandenburg, the remnants of the pro-Russian motorcycle club, Night Wolves, were denied entry to the Brandenburg Gate and were asked to cancel their visit due to politics.
- Instead of focusing on sports, the media has been flooded with stories about the Night Wolves' cancellation in Berlin and the ongoing tension between Russia and Ukraine.
- Despite the tension, it is unlikely that the Night Wolves' visit to the memorial in the Treptower Park will be cancelled, although they may face increased scrutiny from authorities.
