• Alexander Repkin: third secretary at the embassy of the Russian Federation — [Download] [iTunes]

We continued our foray into Ottawa’s diplomatic corps by spending a few minutes with a veteran of the Russian embassy. Alexander Repkin has lived in town for six years. When he landed, he was a 24-year-old bachelor fresh out of university. Now he is married and has a Canadian-born child.

Oh. And he likes hockey.

It’s a cool story. Enjoy the interview.
