My Father at a Russian Military Vacation Resort:

The sign is advertising a vacation at a resort location. The sign says, "Welcome to Truskavets!" This photo was taken during the early 1980's. My father is anticipating a vacation there. Truskavets is a health spa that used to host military people on leave. It featured mineral water for bathing and drinking. Truskavets is located at the verge of the Carpathians, some 75 miles south of Lvov, Ukraine. The text on the billboard is in Ukranian. There are also many popular vacation resorts along the Black Sea coast as well as in the Caucasus Mountains. The Caucasus Mountains are in the area of Chechnya and the city of Groznyy.
