The US Just Sanctioned Putin's Favorite Biker Gang

The "Night Wolves" are an incredibly patriotic, 5,000-member biker club, and Putin has become friends with its leader, Alexander Zaldostanov, a guy known as "The Surgeon," The Telegraph reported earlier its year.
Putin, who's known for showing off his macho credentials, met the group in 2009 and has very close ties to them, according to The Telegraph. Last year, Putin even gave "The Surgeon" an "Order of Honor" for "active work in the patriotic upbringing of the young," The Telegraph reported.
