Phrase from a BBC news article about the Ukraine:
"Locals will tell you about the typical 20th Century Lvivite, who was born in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, grew up in Poland, got married under the Nazis, had children in the Soviet Union, and retired in independent Ukraine... all having never left the city. "
Wow, that's a lot of regimes to live through...
