Merry Russian Orthodox Christmas to Alex, Alex, and Semyon!

The Russian Orthodox Christmas (Jan. 7th) greetings to Caps' Russians by our blog reporter Emily:

In the spirit of the season, we thought long and hard about what to get for these three fine men who pretty much want for nothing. And we realized the one thing they were missing. We made a quick call to the US State Department, explained the situation, and our items arrived - just in time for Christmas.



For Ambassador Ovechkin, chef de mission of the Russian delegation to the US Capitals,



Consul General Alexander Semin,



and embassy attaché Semyon Varlamov, we have procured these lovely diplomatic license plates.

They will make it much easier to find parking over by Russia House and speed limits a distant memory.

Best wishes and

С Рождеством Христовым!

from Washington, DC,
I am Emily.
