A man adjusts a flag before a farewell ceremony to see off participants of a bike ride, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, at a bike centre in Moscow, April 25, 2015. Poland will not allow members of a Russian motorcycle club linked to President Vladimir Putin to cross its border and enter the European Union's territory, the Polish Foreign Ministry said on Friday, in a decision Moscow said was politically motivated. Some 50 members of the Night Wolves, a group blacklisted by the United States for taking part in Russia's annexation of Crimea, are taking part in a bike ride from Moscow to Berlin, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the end of World War Two. The flag shows a portrait of Soviet leader Joseph Stalin and reads, “For Fatherland! For Stalin!”. (Photo by Sergei Karpukhin/Reuters)
