This is the name of an actual town in Ивановская область at latitude 57.25499 and longitude 41.89931. You know, it doesn't look like so bad of a place.

Хреново listed under the postal indexes for this oblast:

There are also the towns Большое хреново and Малое хреново, though the latter is the only one that has a postal index, and the only one I can see on the image. They're in Рязанская область. Alexei, if you want to do a huge service to this forum, you'll go and take a pic of some road signs around there

My guess is that Хреново ( a village name ) has an accent on the first syllable: хрЕново but "this sucks" has it on the second one: хренОво.

BTW Pravit, www.freewebs.com doesn't allow external links to files it hosts and redirects back to referer page, i.e. this one. But there is a way: just copy/paste http://www.freewebs.com/pravit/khrenovo.jpg into address string to get rid of referer info in http request header.
