When I was a child, I knew a map of Poland and thought that the Kaliningrad region is the whole of Russia, so when someone told me Russia is the biggest country in the world, I thought they lost their mind because Poland is clearly bigger.

In 1998, I worked in a care home in Germany. We had a few old ladies from this area, who retained their strong East Prussian accent even more than 50 years after they were forced to leave. Many were traumatised, full of nostalgia for their homeland and never really adjusted to life as "exiled" people. In a few years there'll be no more Germans with any first-hand connection to this area....

Without negativity, but we Russians are not to blame for the fact that you in Europe are constantly raiding us. Even the thousands of kilometers that separate France, Britain, Germany, from Russia do not stop you from attacking us in the 19th and 20th centuries. Why we are the largest country in the world because as soon as a new dominant force appears in Europe or Asia, they always try to conquer Russia for the last 500 years and when they lose, we take away part of the territory. This is if you do not remember even more ancient history when the same Germans went to Russia with crusades (bloody) campaigns (12-13 centuries), although we were also Christians. In Prussia, before the Germans, the Baltilian peoples lived, whom the Teutonic knights slaughtered in the same northern crusades.

I live in kaliningrad and I wanna tell why it was rebuilded like regular soviet city. first of all Konigsberg was totaly destroed ( I mean it was totaly burned to the ground, you can easily find photos in web ) by british airforce bombing in august of 1944, after that just use your imagination: thousands of soviet people, who just tired after war, came there and begin big construction, their goal was not to repair this beautiful german buildings, they just want to build places for living , repair infrastructure easy and fast . And still Kalingrad have 2 old districts full of german archeteture ( about 35 % of city )

Back in the day after the war they didn't value old architecture the way we do now, so a lot of it is understandable. It was way easier to take the burnt buildings down and build something fast instead of trying to preserve and restore, and in Soviet times preserving and restoring something from before was never really a thing. But it would be an interesting place to visit some day, I think.

I lived in Kaliningrad in the 90s as a student of the Kaliningrad State Technical University. I spent five years in this city. I loved Kaliningrad! I loved the food here and ate lots of Baltic sprats. I visited many places in Kaliningrad including the grave of Emmanuel Kant, (the German philosopher), the Amber Museum, the Oceanography Museum, etc. I saw many German tourists arriving in Kaliningrad who visited ancestral homes and the graveyards of their grandparents. I lived on one of the longest streets in Kaliningrad at the time known as Ulitsa Gorkovo. Russian people all over the Russian Federation are very nice people. I travelled so many times from Kaliningrad to Moscow by train via Lithuania and Belarus. I travelled to Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia by coach a few times.

Konigberg was just another Hanseatic city... It was likely just her nostalgia talking... Nothing that special about Konigsberg, other than it being the only major city in East Prussia, which was largely an agricultural backwater. Yet it seems like most Prussian descendents fled from Konigberg itself, and that no one lived outside of the city, even though the rural population made some 90% of it...

This video doesn't mention anything about the original Baltic Prussians, who were conquered by Germans because the Baltic Prussians were among the last pagan regions in Europe. The Germans then settled this area and absorbed the Baltic Prussians just with shear numbers. The Baltic Prussian language was closer to Lithuanian, but the Germans erased the Baltic Prussian language as well as their culture a few centuries ago.

Thank you so much for structured and educational videos. If it wasn't for you, I would never be curious about history, I always hated it since school because I have difficulty remembering dates. But now a lot of my friends and me too are history nerds thanks to your videos. By the way 1500 dollar per month couldn't be the average wage in Russia back in 2014. According to official sources it was 1000 dollars a month back in 2014 and now it's 850 dollars. But of course in reality most of the people earn much below average. We have a tremendous wage gap between major cities (Moscow and Saint Petersburg) and the rest of the country. 1500 dollars a month could be an average wage in Moscow though while the rest of the country's average in reality was and still is around 600 dollars a month.

As Lithuanian let me add one point - The 1st secretary of Lithuanian SSR A. Sniečkus although was really loyal to Soviet regime stated another reason of not willing to accept the Kaliningrad. The reason was that the land is very poor there therefore no real value would be added. In the modern days Kaliningrad is still very poor and whoever would willingly accept taking this part would have to invest too much money to build proper infrastructure. So not really worth it.

In fact he was a man of such pedantic regular habits it is thought he only ventured outside Konigsburg a couple of times in his life. The great irony relating to this excellent video is that Kant’s philosophy is actually the basis of modernism and the modern world, we all act and think in a Kantian way every day! I would recommend a great book on this called ‘Brexit, Kant and Othello’ by S.James.

Lots of shared tears and wonderful encounters between the old eastern Prussians and the elderly Russians that got resettled there, very friendly people. Fun fact: Russia actually offered it back to Germany after the collapse of the soviet union but due to Polish concerns it was declined. And nowadays it is again inhabited by a huge German population, the Wolga/ Russia Germans that got send into exile to Kasachstan and Siberia by Stalin moved there in masses ever since the collapse, so we could actually communicate with many new locals in German

@@vitus6302 Convenience has nothing to do with that rule. There is practically no place in europe that has not been overtaken or overthrown in one way or another at some point in history. That is in fact the reason for this stance on borders for the EU - it is equally unconvenient for everyone. There is no status quo. Do you really think there is any point in history other than now, that all states could agree upon, that we should reset the borders to? Do you realize that there were times that the majority of Europe was under rule of the Huns or the Romans or Napoleon? Would those times be convienient for you? Who do you think should get to decide about that? Keeping borders unchanged is the only way to achieve lasting peace. And to be blunt -your second sentence is a prime example of why such a rule is needed in the first place.

@@reeboothemad5514 the Huns are not native to Europe. I would be more inclined to let France have even more German land than they have now than have any German land in Slavic possession. France and Germany have the same ancestors and only split up in the last 1200 years. As far as I am aware Slavs are relative newcomers to Europe arriving here sometime in the 6th century long after the ancestors of the Germans were here. If Slavs can prove that either a) their ancestors arrived here at the same time or before ours or b) their ancestors and ours are the same (not talking about apes here but about our people arriving here at the same time and then through some weird event developing completely different languages) I am happy to let the borders be as they are.

The bridge thing is simple. You can't make a single path crossing each bridge once and only once when more than two nodes have an odd number of bridges connecting to them. This map shows four nodes, all of them with an odd number of bridges. It can't be done. Add one extra bridge (or close a bridge, swim, row a boat, or skate across on the ice when it freezes) so that two of the nodes will have an even number of bridges, and it becomes simple - you start and end at the two nodes that have odd numbers of bridges.

I caught the train from Vilnius to Kaliningrad in 2010. To go from such a visually appealing city that was easy to explore to a city where everything looked bleak was depressing. It felt like a place that had been forgotten by Russia. I couldn't find an affordable hotel so I stayed with a lovely lady in her apartment, this was pre Airbnb popularity. Catching local buses was easy, but I couldn't find many local attractions other than the harbour and an amber museum and a WWII bunker. I almost got denied at the border because no one on the train could speak English, it wasn't until I showed my flight ticket to Moscow that I was allowed in. Definitely an all round culture shock.

To this day he has never returned to his homeland, because he cannot bear the fact that all his memories no longer exist or now have Russian names. So many did not survive this escape.

Being from just south from historical Allenstein (also East Prussia) I find it amusing how most of the Germans who fled East Prussia seem to come from Konigsberg itself. My grandparents used to live in a house with a German family back in the 1960s. There were few waves of Germans who were deported/moved to Germany - first in the 1945, then in the 1950s, and 1960s, last in the 1970s. Being of Polish-Masurian descent and being born and raised in former East Prussia, I have many family member in Germany. Ironically, even the Polish speaking, Protestant Masurians were seen as the "Krauts" and were forced to flee the region after the war. The Masurians are completely gone nowadays, and our dialect died off just because some dumb settlers from Poland proper had seen us as "German". They saw anything non-Catholic and non Polish as bad. I fully sympathize with the Germans that fled Prussia. I consider it my own homeland, my Masurian ancestors colonized it in the 1400s-1600s together with the Germans. And maybe you as German might see me as non-native, ursuper. On one hand, had there been no war, no Hitler, East Prussia would've been German today - and me as well, I think. But things happened differently. It's very sad what happened to the region, and it's still not talked about that much. Even today former East Prussia is seen as it was during the Communist times - It is a reclaimed land and mainstream medio don't talk about how the natives were treated. There had been a "controversial" movie made some years ago, about Polish settlers moving into Prussia after WW2, and how they treated both the Germans and Masurians, but it's very much a taboo topic, and although things are much better, German heritage of the land is very much talked about nowadays, no one wants to talk about the post-war attrocities. These seem as "justified" because the Nazis and the local Germans alike did worse things to Poles, but I personally think that violence doesn't make other violence right. Sure, some of the local Germans were the fifth column before the WW2 - I mean, they created the lists of important Poles and the area and they massacred them - leading to the infamous Bromberg Massacre (very much loved topic by the neonazis nowadays), but I've read some books and even spoke with some old witnesses about the Germans being beaten to death on the streets after the war, just because the Poles were angry.... I mean, humans can be so bad to each other...

In Central Europe nobody cares and they often make not much sense, since they hardly can distinguish between German, Dutch, Belgian, Luxembourgian, Northern French, Swiss and Austrian. Decedents of people migrated from Königsberg in the 1800's are also not very likely to find Russian traces, since the area was occupied in 1945 by the Soviet Union and populated with Russians starting from 1946.

I thought that this would be terribly difficult for West Germany to achieve (and I was right about that). It seemed to me that East Germany could manage in the European Union on its own like Hungary or any of the other formerly communist countries. It had been the most prosperous one. Austria is a separate German-speaking country with a separate history, and East Germany could have been too. Also, there was a danger that the new Germany would be too big compared to France, which is probably true. As for having the same money and travelling from one city to another easily, you can do that between Munich and Vienna or Warsaw anyway.

Königsberg (Kaliningrad) was a city constructed in 1255 by the Old Prussians and Teutonic Order, later in became a German City. Prussian was a culture there too but then it died out and the Prussians living their went extinct or became German making it a 99% German city. With all the patriotic culture symbols and images in Königsberg, it made it a province of many military agriculture and they constructed factories there when the industrial era started so it was more of a stronghold with lots of German knights or troops guarding the city. The Teutonic Knights were still there too, but not a pleasant entity to see you know, a person wearing a crusader or medieval helmet and having a Teutonic symbol on their armor visible walking and all that..
