St. Peter asks a newcomer

Text on the meme

St. Peter asks a newcomer: - Born? - Austro-Hungary. - Went to school? - Czechoslovakia - Married in? - Hungary - Kids born in? - The Third Reich - And your grandchildren? - USSR. - Where did you die? - Ukraine. - Man, you traveled a lot! - Nonsense, I never left Mukachevo.

What it means

St. Peter interviews a newcomer at the gates of heaven about where he was born, educated, married, and where his family lived and died. Every answer names a different historical country or political entity because borders around Mukachevo changed repeatedly, creating the joke that the man traveled across half of Europe without ever leaving his hometown.
