Mr. John Anthony Robles II came to the Voice of Russia after working for 15 years as an English teacher, most of those years in the Russian Federation. He was also a blogger and runs his own web site. He came to the VOR seeking a job as a proofreader but when management heard his velvety voice they decided to make his a presenter and a newsreader. John is a very hard worker and has helped to develop the Voice of Russia English service into what it is today. John dedicates his talents to conducting interviews all over the world, writing, and of course translating and reading the news (every hour on the hour). John raised two children on his own and currently is single and lives in Moscow.
