Igor Karvalegov is a skilled Russian software developer who moved to Quebec to get away from his "roof" or the Russian mob that was extorting him and his family in Moscow.
He plays hockey at the local rink.
He's pretty good too.
Last night he scored several goals and played long after I left

Hey Igor do they have outdoor rinks in Russia?

Not like here, no boards, maybe only on pond or river, not many boys have skates too poor.

How did you learn to play?

army

How bout that Chechen hostage taking thing at the opera?

Crazy that FSB still does not tell whole truth

You made me look foolish out there at times

You play good too

What else do you do for fun?

I x-country ski & Ice fish

Really so I guess you like the sorta winter we've been having.

I've never seen you drink. Aren't most Russian's into the Vodka?

Some Like Vodka not me though bad for you, makes you weak.

So is there a "roof" for Russians in Quebec?

Da big cities have lotsa Russians most good some bad

Why do they call the mob your roof?

In Russia mob is necessary for all aspects of life like roof on your house you need it

You can't accomplish much over there without engaging criminal gangs?
