On April 23rd 2006, a man in his early 20s was seen in Kyiv, Ukraine staring at a high-rise apartment building. Witnesses described him as looking confused and anxious. They thought he might have been a lost tourist.

The man approached two police officers and nervously asked for directions... to a place that no longer existed.

The officers asked the young man for identification. But, there were two problems with his ID.

One, his documents were issued by the Soviet Union; which no longer existed.

The second problem: according to his birth date, this *young* man was born in 1932.
