As always very interesting and well explained video, keep up the good work!

Never skip the ads on this channel. This channel is such a super gem with the way they explain things. Especially when it comes to Europe’s history which sometimes is quite complicated in almost every aspect. Kaliningrad is a smart strategically place geographically and Russia has no intentions of giving it up. Plus Germany has no intentions of taking it back because 90 something % of the population is Russian so great on Russia’s behalf for playing it’s cards right during WWll.

Great quality as always👌

Just found this channel and I’m loving it!

The Baltic coast makes Kaliningrad a SEMI-exclave.

I absolutely love this channel, Simply due to the facts that it spreads awareness, with full honesty and tells the truth in a great way and it’s very detailed as well.

I love this channel bc it helps me learn stuff about the world! I’d never heard of this place before, very interesting!

Königsberg-Kaliningrad must become the center of Russian-German friendship and collaboration.

Great video! Just a tip, change your background of your computer to something beautiful, it might look better in the endresult.

Much love from Bulgaria man keep up the good work

thanks again for your information in this video

You forgot to mention that Kaliningrad was bombed to the ground by British aviation.

“Well I at least played my cards for this right for this one. It has benefited me more than hurt me” - Stalin

A great video from a great channel. i regret not seeing it sooner.

good video could you make a video of the Arab Spring in Egypt/Syria and its consequences?

This is very informative. The situation is really complicated moving forward. Did I hear that Lithuenia is blocking only sanctioned goods? From Russia to another part of Russia? That is madness, to say the least.

“Just take the German people and move it over there”

Damn, Skyrim music in the background. You got like from me.

got to know about Kaliningrad few years ago because of geopolitics but the documentary reveals many facts we didn't know

Very interesting, I didn't know anything about this

Would have been nice to mention that historically it was Baltic lands, and only became germanicized after relentless slaughter of local population, replacement migration, and harsh cultural oppression. The so called "Lithuanian minority", and in part the polish one, was the oldest native population of Kaliningrad, part of which was even called "Little Lithuania"

No mention of amber or electricity generation.

Not any more. They declared their independence as a free Baltic territory about 6 weeks ago.

Did you forget that Russia was an ally during WW2? There was the siege of Leningrad and Stalingrad at the cost of millions of lives All due respect, but should Poland return Silesia, Posen and the Southern part of East Prussia to Germany? Russia could have vetoed the German re-unification but it didn't. Just as the Poles did, the Russians expelled the German population from Konigsberg. The entire Polish nation had been moved 400 km to the West. I will grant you one thing, in 1939, Germany and Russia partitioned Poland. Russia received a large part of Poland that Russia attached to the Ukraine where it remains today. Perhaps Ukraine could return it? These are the ghosts of WW2.

Is that battlefield 1 menu music in your video? Lol

Strange how occupied Lithuania had any say in taking the territory or not

A flurry of mistakes and omissions from the very onset. Konigsberg was never "true Germanic territory", the very term "Prussia" regards to Baltic, NOT Germanic tribe. Prusses were conquered by Germanics, just as many Westerns Slavs were, and then gradually Germanized. Technically, true Germans in many parts of East Germany are a minority, surrounded by German-speaking Slavs. Konigsberg was just like that, like Schecin and Danzig, a Germanized Slavonic trade towns, just Baltic by origin. Anthropologically, Prussia was less "true German" than Eastern Karelia is "true Russian", LOL.

"It's a geographical and Political anomaly" like Malvinas (Brits call them Falklands) or Gibraltar ?

Your audio is so low it's very hard to hear I can't use headphone I have your problem It will be better for me if you raise the volume

Empress Elizabeth I of Russia incorporated E Prussia into Russia in 1757

Hello from Kaliningrad 👋

2:50 Hey! You used BF1 music, didn't you?

Tutto il Sostegno per il video buttato giù ragazzi

13:31 I think you mean assension.

Russias Alaska? Cha dude

I really like enclaves, there is just something so cool about having a small piece of home that is far away and surrounded by other nations while still maintaining your own culture. It would be so awesome if the U.S had an enclave in the middle of Europe, I would more than likely move there

Придётся присоединить к Калининграду при Балтику и Польшу

My wife's grandfather lost his life in ww2 back it konningsberg

the question is: why the NATO militar base in Italy is USA territory?

Russia have all the rights to invade the gap and secure the people of Kaliningrad . With love from Holland 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Russia empire - This is my land German empire - Well I disagree this my land USSR - Hold my hammer and winter this my land. Germany - Hold my beer and controversial history with a moustache and my sandals and socks this my land Russia - Are you sure about? Don’t hold my nukes and natural gas this my land I’ll write this on my stand. Germany - Okay find fair play now let’s be friends and have a beer Russia - Alrighty than let’s do that and chill (Ukraine conflict starts) Germany - Dude woah wait a minute, we aren’t we never we’re friends and won’t be friends. This my land and we’ll make sure to sanction this land of mine :) Russia - If you say so you’ll be back as my friend during winter. You also know winter favors both of us one in a positive and one in a negative way this my land btw ;) Germany - Ughh not again… (energy crisis) fine it’s yours and it always has been.

Why is it Russian? Because they took it and kept it.

Kalingrad is actually Geman Konigsburg

June 22 1941, has created a lot of modern problems, we are still dealing with today.

U.S. fleet in the Baltic see . Georgia and Ukraine to be in NATO. What a beautyful "Defence" strategy.

It was already indecent the expelling of the native German population, it was a crime gladly accepted by the ww2 victors. Not just in East Prussia.

I didn't know it Russia expanded West. Last I checked, within the 30 years. NATO is the one that expanded East becoming the thorn on Russia's side.

I say one thing that maybe blow your mind - Russia is anti-imperialistic empire😂 but really, instead of colonizing like the West, Russia provided joining policy (like Chinese admiral Zheng He). And providing now. Do you know that Slavs not only one people in Russia? Do you know that Russia was built by Cossacks who are semi-turks? (When ukranian Sich was disbanded, most of Cossacks moved to Turkey, those who remaind incorporated in Russian Empire as elite warriors) So Slavs and Turcs are two parts of Russian people but not only them. Rus started surprisingly in Germany and Prussia (PoRussia - now Kaliningrad). Charlemagne of the Franks was fighting with Slavs on the territory of modern Germany and Poland, and the Baltic Sea was a Slavic Sea, thats why Slavic colony of Novgorod was based in the middle of Finno-Ugric lands - Slavs from German lands escaped by the sea and rivers to the North to live in peace as a republic of Nogorod (Russians had denocracy before all western countries haha). A few centuries after that Vikings were invited to rule, because of disorder. Those semi-slavic Vikings occupied Kiev and made it a capital of Rus lands from Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. Not Slavs! Then went many Turcs tribes from the East to 'colonize' Rus. In the end they became Rus😂 and then Russia. And so on with Siberia which was Tartarian and was attached by Cossacks (not Slavs!). All peoples and tribes in so called Russian Empire was joined not colonized and they saved their culture. In modern Russia there are payments to northern peoples who keeps its own culture. On the South were wars of course. But thats explained by religion non-conformism between Christians and Muslims. Which was not only in Russia. But now Orthodox and Muslims are brothers in Russia. Chechens and many Caucasian peoples slowly incorporating to become Russians. Middle Asia was attached at a very hard times for Russia - during the Civil War. But now Middle Asia is independent. Russia gave statehood and left (as Soviet Union crashed). But what? Middle Asians people arrive to Russia and work here because their states don't work properly (Soviets left too early but they left! As an Eastern Europe after WWII). Ok, finally. Russian people is close union of Slavic-Turcs-Finno-Ugrs-Siberian-Caucasians and all of this is one nation! And now compare it with Europe, with America, with their Afro Americans, italoAmericans and so on. They separating each other like nationalists and think that all should do the same. No! We are all the people and to be a Russian is to understand that brotherhood of nations! So Russia is truly an Empire but based on anti-imperialism anti-separatism but joining policy - to be friends with everyone who wants friendship, and to be enemies who wants war! Till they stop being aggressive. As the Holy Quran says. Big Spasibo for those who read.

First!

17:30 "Provocative strategy" - Lithuania and Finland are "uncle Sam"s siucide bombers, like a barking dog who gets his head blown off eventually, when tensions reach breaking point. Then the "Are we REALLY want to die for Daugavpils?!?!" tragicomedy begins.

12:06 How you can spot that speak person saying bullshit? When he says "2008's Russian invasion to Georgia". So. Everything also should be checked because he must be some sort of lies and propaganda leftovers between some facts. Worst type of lies - when it hidden among some truth.

Actually it is other way around Krolavec is weak point of Russia, not NATO.

Because it was renamed from konigsburg. Unfortunately it was given to Russia along with a lot of Eastern Europe

Good video, but you clearly are not Americans and I'd be surprised if Americans are more than a plurality of your watchers, so you REALLY should not use the illogical American dating convention. You have the choice between just writing it out with month names, the continental European convention of DD/MM/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY, or the ISO way. All without danger of being misinterpreted.

Because we learned little from WW2.

Yeah, Russia simply existing is a thorn in the side of Nato, and it’s obviously Russians fault that the warmongering nato expanded so much it’s on top of Russia. I mean really, how biased and moronic can this be.

Should be given to Lithuania

WRONG MY FREND BEFOR THE NAME KENIGSBERG THIS PLACE WAS CALLED IN POLISH KRÓLEWIEC THATS MIN KINGS PLACE AND THE POLISH CHURCHES WAS BYLD ALMOST 900 years ago the germen even didint know where this place was . IN KROLEWIEC ALSO WAS THE ONE OF THE OLDEST UNIVERSITY IN POLAND THE NAME OF THIS UNIVERSITY WAS STEFAN BATORY . Check this and stop that Nonsens . Thank you

Very well done. However, Konigsberg is surrounded and cut off from resupply from Russia. In the event of any conflict, they will starve, die, or surrender. Furthermore, I do NOT honor murderers and war criminals. "Kings Mountain" was a good enough name for over 500 years. There is no reason to use some other name, much less an evil criminal.

Make it Lithuanian or Polish

Really!......Kaliningrad is a thorn in NATOs side......hmmm! 🤔 As Sweden and Finland have both joined NATO, making the Baltic Sea a NATO pond, Kaliningrad has become a port in someone elses pond, making it untenable in any conflict for Russias Navy. Russia will soon have to pay "tolls" to sail on NATOs pond!

Lithuania is probably regreting this today🤣

France also has lots of non-homeland territories around the globe, and part of the UK is located in North Africa, so Russia's enclave is a small matter for NATO.

It would make more sense for Poland to claim this territory and for Poland to cede Szczecin/Stettin and some other land to Germany.

Why not forcefully NATO take it ?

I met a girl ( student) in London, she was from Kaliningrad, she said almost all her friends want Kaliningrad independent from Russia. Her grandparents are Polish.

Poland's going to x it in.

Make it German again.

The Baltic countries were never Integral part of ussr. They were occupied in 1940.

These pathetic Z-orcs in the comments, lmao.

Bonjou reste M Poutine

Just give it back to Germany.

Belongs to Germany, don't know why they don't take it back

Excellent report. Very informative. Glory to Russia.

New video on how Ukraine is becoming Russia please!!!! LPR is free

It is not Russian get that

Kaliningrad needs a wall all around! Nothing in nothing out. Only russians inside.

with luck Russia will be forced to abandon it, when it will become Post-Russia or Prussia for short.

Despite what anybody says, I have a good feeling Germany will eventually take it back, and hopefully it is within my lifetime.

🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺❤️❤️💪💪💪

it would be better if *Kaliningrad* would be reverted as *Konigsberg* and join Germany again instead of staying with Century-old mediocre Russian Economy

It is koiensberg The Germans should reclaim it God bless the Kaiser

Glory to Russia 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺

Nato is a thorn on Americas side. #Amexit, get U.S out of nato.

Russia more power full them Eroupe nation can't win Russia anu way

God bless Russia!

The best place to put a nice setup for the Russians if they attempt to take it the setup would be brutal and quick to take care of the problem

I believe Russia should have captured the Baltic states bordering her. There won't be any American lives lost for economically and geographically insignificant Baltic states. There won't be any article 5 triggered for these small states.

Russia DID NOT INVADE GEORGIA in 2008! The Georgians attacked and killed some Russian peacekeepers in Ablhazia and Russia was forced to defend its peacekeepers. The commentary in this channel is flawed.
