Answer 3

Yes, it is Ybbs an der Donau (on the Danube), and I've been there.  I've never seen anyone spell it "Ypps".

Here is a link with some pictures you might enjoy:

If you can read German, enter "Ybbs an der Donau" into a search engine, and you'll get a lot of information.  (Even if you can't read the German, some of the pictures are quite nice.)

I wouldn't say it's a tiny village any more, but it's still a rural town that attracts people who want to kayak on the Danube and bicycle along it, the favorite sports in the area.

Later edit:  I did a bit of crawling around on the Austrian sites, and found some industry in the area, but no reference to a Russian cooperative venture.  Doesn't mean it isn't there.  Maybe someone local will see your question and chime in.

jahowl, Ybbs an der Donau  is the name of the village
