My family is from Lviv. Thanks for posting.
I spent a lot of time in Ukraine and Russia, and because of circumstances, was "cut off" from the real world, buried there in stark, bleak, monotonous, tedious, dull, grey eastern Ukraine and southwestern Russia.
After about a year, I finally got to Lvov, Lviv, whatever, and I practically got down on my knees and kissed the ground; I was in Europe again, in civilization.
I still think that part of Poland that was stolen in 1941 should be given back to Poland, and we could reimburse the Ukrainians by giving them a chunk of Russia.
