Belarusian "Night Wolves" – the Belarusian department of the notorious Russian motorcycle club, who openly supported the Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia's aggression in Ukraine and adheres to the ideas of "Russian world" – chauvinist ideology aimed at the establishment of pro-Russian regimes in any military expansion in the country, the government which are not considered friends of the Kremlin.

Many Belarusian bikers have no relation to the "Night Wolves", because they believe that the biker club cannot unreservedly support any political force, which exists due to the state budget of Russia, as itself the movement of bikers brings freedom, it is not politicized .

Despite its clearly anti-American and anti-Western rhetoric as a whole in the speeches, "Night Wolves" in the faces of the organizers of the festival used the expression "food court", which is a clear Americanism. And this is just one example.

Battle of Sianno (Lepel counterstrike) – the offensive of the Red Army troops to the positions of the German Wehrmacht. There was a 6 to 10 July 1941 and was part of the battle of Viciebsk. The Soviet counter-attack ended in failure. Bound Soviet troops, the German 39th motorcycle corps boosted July 8 Western Dvina three divisions in the Ulla region. July 9th 20th Panzer Division 39th motorcycle corps 3rd Panzer Group Hoth rushed to Viciebsk. In fact, "Night Wolves", who verbally appreciate Soviet victory in World War II, say counter-attack ended in failure of the Red Army. Is the war there was no battle in which Soviet soldiers defeated?
