But hark, here doth come Prince Charming, with dinner in a box.
An unusual delivery man has been spotted roaming the concrete streets of Saratov in central Russia. Donning the typical green shirt and backpack of Delivery Club, one of Russia’s biggest food delivery services, this courier was photographed riding a white horse.
“I’m already being called the courier on the white horse around the city,” Alexei Savelyev, a former horse riding instructor who owns the white stallion, was quoted as saying by Russia’s Tjournal news website Tuesday.
Delivery Club said it had nothing against the employee’s preferred mode of transportation, but noted that “it’s not the most comfortable or compact” delivery method.
The company promised to give Savelyev an electric scooter, an offer that he welcomed but said he “would like to alternate between delivering food on horseback one day and on scooter the next.”
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
