THE Mark Warren He became a well -known … fortune in Russia, and he had a mountain fortune just before the Alaska Summit, when Russian journalists accidentally met him on the streets of Ankorage.

Warren stopped a Russian television workshop on August 9 when he noticed his motorcycle, Soviet construction.

The workshop was impressed and started asking Warren questions about it. However, Warren said the maintenance of the machine became difficult because the production plant is now located “In Ukraine.”

“Journalists stopped to admire Warren’s motorcycle, built by Ural, whose original factory was founded in 1941 in Soviet Russia,” Reuters said.

“It went viral, it became crazy and I have no idea because, because I’m actually a very normal guy,” Warren said on Tuesday. ‘Once they interviewed someone older on a URAL and for some reason They consider it cool. “

The story went viral in Russia and even caught the attention of Vladimir Putin, who then gave him a brand new Russian motorcycle, who also has a special position for a passenger.

On August 13, two days before the Trump-Putin summit to discuss the war in Ukraine, Warren received a phone call from the Russian journalist who told him: “They decided to give you a machine.”

Warren said a document he received showed that the gift had been arranged through the Russian embassy in the US.

He said he initially thought he might be fraud. But after Putin and Trump departed from the Elderf-Richardson base after their three-hour meeting last Friday, he received another phone call that informed him that the motorcycle was at the base.

They informed him to go to a hotel in Anchorage the next day for delivery. He went with his wife, and there in the parking lot, along with six men who assumed Russians, was the motorcycle, color of color, worth $ 22,000 (19,000 euros).

‘I stayed unhappy’, he said. “I thought,” You have to make me fun. ” Thank you very much”, Warren said. Putin was probably flattered with the choice of the elderly American (see Ural) and rewarded him accordingly, not losing the opportunity for a positive narrative at the same time.
