The Governor of the Kaliningrad Region, Anton Alikhanov, has apologized to Oksana Maytakova - a reporter from the New Kaliningrad newspaper - after he told her to “back off” when she asked him a question. He sent her flowers and champagne worth $300.
His assistant Dennis Kalinovski was the one who actually ordered the gifts, and said a man should apologize when he misbehaves.
