Russian President Vladimir Putin started his working visit to Ukraine to visit the camp of the bike club "Night Wolves". On
the way from Sevastopol to Yalta, the President made an unscheduled
stop to greet the bikers and their leader, surgeon, and then went for
talks with Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich.
Putin had previously been based on this "Night Wolves" at Sevastopol, which regularly hosts gatherings of motorcyclists and motorcycle show. He has also attended such events in other areas, particularly in Novorossiysk.
At the entrance to the camp of Putin met surgeon, they are heat exchanged greetings. The leader of the "Night Wolves" has invited the president to the next bike show, held here July 20-21. "If you are not able to, maybe record a video message to the guys, they are asked," - said the biker. "Must do" - said Putin.
The surgeon told me that the bike show in 2012 will be devoted to the heroic history of Sevastopol. According to him, in this city very well refer to the "Night Wolves" and asked "not to betray Sevastopol." "Do not betray Sevastopol", - Putin said. "But do not forget to Novorossiisk," - he added.
The leader of the bikers told Putin that in 2013 "Night Wolves" are planning to do a show in Volgograd on the 70th anniversary of the Battle of Stalingrad, and in 2014 are going to hold an international gathering in Serbia, with Russian, Ukrainian and Serbian bikers.
Putin asked how many members attend camp near Sevastopol. According to the Surgeon here are up to 80 thousand bikers during the summer. "It's not just razvlekalovka, it turned into a public diplomacy" - he added.
The President drew attention to the fact that the club had more girls. "Last time I had you, did not pay attention, and I liked how you guys are healthy, they are applying to, carefully, respectfully," - with a smile, he said.
Bikers gave Putin a jacket with the symbol of the club and asked to take a picture. Then, wishing "Night Wolves" good luck, the president headed for talks with his Ukrainian counterpart.
In July 2009, Putin, who then held the post of prime minister, visited the "headquarters" of the Russian motor club "Night Wolves", which spoke to the bikers, told about his "motorcycle" and the experience gave them the Russian flag.
A year later, in July 2010, he again met with the bikers, but in Sevastopol at the international bike show for the 65th anniversary of Victory, on which riders came from a dozen countries, including Serbia. Then Putin, head of the column arrived at the motorcycles, as he put it, "heaped rigs" - three-wheeled motorcycle Harley-Davidson Lehman modified with an automatic transmission, which was decorated with Russian and Ukrainian flags.
In March 2011 Putin met with representatives of the biker movement in the former Yugoslavia in Belgrade, where he was on a working visit. In August 2011 he visited the 16-m-bike festival, organized in Novorossiysk "Night Wolves".
