Comedian Maxim Galkin, who is listed by Russia's Justice Ministry as a foreign agent, has included exclusively Russian dishes in the rider for his performances abroad, according to RIA Novosti.
The document requires his dressing room to be stocked with meat, cabbage and potato pies, sliced beef tongue, kurabye cookies, mustard and horseradish, plus meat, cheese and fruit platters, hot dishes, a litre of natural berry fruit drink and a bottle of semi-dry white wine rated no lower than DOCa in Spain, AOC in France or DOCG in Italy.
Other rider demands
Beyond food, the rider calls for a Dyson Airwrap styler with a round attachment, a pack of medical masks, a cognac glass and a new mat for changing shoes. Organizers must also cover flights for Galkin and his four-person team, with two first-class tickets and two economy-class tickets.
Security staff and porters must meet the group at the airport and accompany them throughout their stay. Transfer to the hotel must be in a business-class car with a driver, and lodging must be in a five-star hotel described as the best in the city, with the group's travel routes kept strictly confidential.
RIA Novosti earlier reported that Galkin held a corporate event for Margarita Pasha, winner of the Miss Ukraine pageant.
