Russian bikers from the Night Wolves club resumed their rally across the country, the club said in its official LiveJournal blog

MOSCOW, May 4. /TASS/. Russian bikers from the Night Wolves club, stopped in Germany Sunday for identity check, have resumed their rally across the country, the club said in its official LiveJournal blog.

"As... participants of the biker rally say… they returned passports. They let them go but keep following them. Now the police are watching the hotel where Night Wolves are staying at," a post in the blog said.

The bikers plan to reach Berlin by May 9 to participate in the commemorative events dedicated to the 70 anniversary of the Victory. 

On April 25, bikers from Night Wolves club started their Moscow-Berlin motorcycle marathon dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory in World War II. The planned route will pass through Minsk, Brest, Wroclaw, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Munich and Prague. On April 27, the bikers were denied entry to Poland. The Polish Foreign Ministry said the reason for denying entry lay in "lack of necessary concrete information about the group’s plans on the territory of Poland." Germany earlier revoked visas of several participants of the marathon.
