Except this is from the Warsaw Pact incursion into Czechoslovakia in 1968, certainly a little more than a "visit" by Soviet forces

How did you come to be there?

You won’t believe it, effing tourists. Together with a bunch of mates we had flown in the previous night. On our way from Scheremetjevo to the hotel we saw the T-72 firing their Dashkas into the air in the parallel street. The next day we were on a plane to Abakan, for two weeks of hiking near the Yenisei river, on the border with Mongolia. We were seven all but two serving members of a NATO country, we even had gotten a clearance from Mons before we went on the trip. But nobody ever thought of revoking it when the troubles in Mother Russia began, so we just got on the plane and did our thing.
