Bosnian Serb officials attended the premiere of a movie made by the leader of the Russian motorcycle club 'The Night Wolves' at the National Theater of Republika Srpska in Banja Luka on Tuesday.

Led by Alexander Zaldostanov, aka ‘The Surgeon’, the Night Wolves served as the advancing forces of Russia's occupation of Crimea.

Nicknamed “Putin's Angels,” members of the group toured through Serbia and Republika Srpska, the Serb-dominated semi-autonomous entity in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in March.

Zaldostanov himself was denied entry to Bosnia on security grounds but the premiere of his 35 minutes-long movie called “Russian Reactor” was attended by some 30 members of the motorcycle club from Republika Srpska as well as by some Bosnian Serb officials.

The movie is put together from fragments shot during motorcyclist festivals and it talks about Russia from the time of the October Revolution until today.

A minister in the Bosnian Serb government, Petar Djokic, said that Serbs love Russia and that Bosnia’s decision to blacklist some of the Wolves was stupid.

He explained that the group was not a security threat but that it preserves tradition, gathers motorcyclists and humanitarian workers. Apart from Zaldostanov, Bosnian authorities also banned the leader of the Serbian branch of the group, Sasa Savic from entering Bosnia.

On January 9, the anniversary of the creation of Republika Srpska, Bosnian Serb President Milorad Dodik presented Zaldostanov with a Medal of Honor for his promotion of human rights, tolerance and for strengthening relations between Republika Srpska and the Russian Federation.

Zaldostanov was in 2014 blacklisted by the United States for his activities and links with separatists in Ukraine. He founded the Night Wolves in 1989 and since then the group grew into Russia's biggest motorcycle club, counting 5,000 members.
