Before describing such a charismatic personality as the biker Surgeon, it is necessary to say a few words about the movement, which he is a bright representative of, and the negative idea about which this person managed to change radically.
History of occurrence
The biker movement, like all other non-conformist phenomena of the subculture, originated in America in the 50s. People for whom the motorcycle became the determining factor in existence were very different from the stupid and evil-less hippies, although both of them arose as a protest to society.
The name "bikers" has always been associated with aggression. Their communities were called gangs, or, at best, groups that endlessly quarreled with each other, and when united, attacked small cities. It is impossible to list the number of American films devoted to this movement. But they did not contribute to the emergence of sympathy for bikers. All their symbolism, part of the ammunition speaks of obvious sympathy for the Nazis. This is what sociologists in their writings call them representatives of the subculture, and compare the primitive ideas of domination with non-conformism.
The fundamental differences of the domestic movement
The movement reached the Eurasian continent in the 70s and was fanned by the romance of the "free country". Soviet rockers also allegedly expressed some kind of protest, but these were young people who would never have thought of attacking a city, burning, raping and killing a population. And the current Russian movement does not deserve any blasphemy, as the award vividly testifies - the Order of Honor, which in 2013 was awarded to the biker Surgeon.
Leader as he is
Alexander Zaldostanov - a person, of course, bright, large-scale and gifted. But at the very beginning of the description of his life and work, it must be said that he would have remained a leader known only among his supporters, if not for his enormous sense of patriotism, which he is not shy about and which made him famous not only in Russia. The lists of persons non grata in several countries of Europe and the USA, in which the biker Surgeon is entered, are world famous. And it is not difficult to assume that the only reason for including him in these lists is his personal acquaintance with V.V. Putin and the human sympathy that exists between them. And their joint, steering wheel-to-wheel motorcycle ride is capable of bringing not only McCain to hysteria.
The popularity associated with this page in the life of Alexander Zaldostanov is also indicated by some articles on the Internet, the obvious envy and anger of the authors of which cannot but cause bewilderment. Although the meaning of bullying is absolutely clear. Well, which liberal might like the slogans “Faith. Church. Homeland ”or“ Shoot at the Patriarch - aim at Russia ”, under which the motor rally was held in October 2012! Or the protection of buildings in Simferopol during the referendum. One must have a certain personal courage in order to defend one's position in life and not react to anger.
The nickname is fully justified
The biography of the biker Surgeon did not differ from most biographies of young people of the same age. He was born in Kirovograd in 1963, on January 19, and I want to note that for 51 he looks more than perfect. Even at the time when Alexander was a student of the 3rd Medical Institute, and during the residency years, the future biker Surgeon owned the Java motorcycle and the leader of a small group of moto fans surrounded by a non-criminal hooligan fleur. In general, this handsome man is an example of the fact that not always a positive character should cause yawning. And he deserves his nickname, it’s not just a pretty “whooper”. The leader of bikers, the Surgeon, really worked for a long time, took on operations that others refused, he had a name in a professional environment. Working in the field of post-traumatic facial deformity, he performed a series of operations, the trophy of which was beads assembled from the teeth of patients.
Beginning of a biker career
The first group of fans of extreme motorsport created by him was called “Surgery”. She was not distinguished by high moral qualities, but chivalrous relations between members of society, like real male friendship, were already laid in its foundation. The personal life of the biker Surgeon is firmly connected with the Night Wolves motorcycle club, created in 1989. According to Alexander himself, his mother still believes that he will return to the profession, but his current activities require maximum return. In addition to the Night Wolves, Zaldostanov created, as promised to his German friend, the Sexton club.
The essence of the "Night Wolves"
The Night Wolves Association in 1992 joined the international biker movement. The club has branches in many cities of Russia and foreign countries of Eastern Europe. The club has the most worthy tasks and principles of existence. The ban on alcohol while driving and strict adherence to traffic rules is at the forefront. Great importance is attached to the education of youth in the spirit of patriotism, the protection of Orthodoxy, the provision of assistance to organizations and movements in need of it. Annual bike shows are dedicated to dates that play a big role in the history of the Russian state.
Funds raised with their help are also used for noble purposes. In addition, the biker center has its own workshops in which not only existing motorcycles are repaired and improved, but new types of them are created, for example, the Ural-Wolf. Well, why does this club activity make it incompatible with the biker movement, as some argue? Of course, disassembling with the use of weapons and the person killed as a result does not adorn the movement. But the Night Wolves biker died, and a representative of the Three Roads club shot. The trial is ongoing.
