Poland denies entry to pro-Putin biker gang; Russia demands explanation

   MOSCOW (Reuters) --- Russia on Monday demanded an explanation from Poland as to why it denied entry to a group of Russian bikers commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two. The bikers are attempting to ride from Moscow to Berlin as a publicity stunt.
   Poland had said on Friday it would not allow the bikers club “Night Wolves”, which has ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin, to cross into its territory.
   Russia's Foreign Ministry said in a statement it "decisively condemned" Poland's decision to bar entry for the bikers and said the move could be considered sacrilegious, given the heroism shown by Soviet soldiers who fought against the Nazis during World War Two.
   Since it’s the sovereign right of any country to allow or not allow foreign nationals on to their soil lets hope the Polish Government keeps out this biker gang.
