Motorcyclists Don Nazi Uniforms, Swarm Russian Embassy on Victory Day

May 9 is the traditional day to mark the end of World War II in Russia. Many Lithuanians also mark the day and gather at cemeteries to honor those killed in the war.

Motorcyclists from Vilnius decided to attend a ceremony in Vilnius on Saturday.

They drove to the cemetery in the Antakalnis neighborhood in Vilnius dressed in German Wehrmacht uniforms. Police denied them entry.

The bikers posted a video of them being stopped on a nearby street for some time. The police failed to find a violation of law and finally let them go.

They then played marshal music from the Third Reich and drove through the Vilnius Old Town, and then drove in circles around the Russian embassy.

Delfi.lt asked the Lithuanian Police Department for comment.

Police Department rep Ramūnas Matonis only said that no people were arrested on May 9 in Lithuania for sowing ethnic discord.

Both Soviet and Nazi regalia are forbidden by law in Lithuania.
