Re: [Cz-L] Soviet era

Travel Permit,
  If I remember right the permit was a "Komandirovka ". (Business trip).
   Propuska is a permit in general but for travel you needed the above.
    We have never applied or received a Komandirovka but we knew the name.
     We had nowhere to travel in the Bukovina.
     All we really wanted was a one-way-trip-to-Tereblecea permit .
        In March 46 we got it.
       From there , by carriage , to Siret and the world.
