Why Does Russia Own This Piece Of Land !?
The Kaliningrad Oblast is located 370 km east from the rest of Russia, but to understand how Russia came to own this land we have to go all the way back to the middle of the last century.
Before the world war 2, this land was part of Germany’s East Prussia. At the beginning of 1945, During the Soviet Union advance on the eastern front, many Germans desperately fled to west, and at the end of the war, East Prussia was split by the Allied Powers between Poland in the south and the Soviet Union in the North. The northernmost section was ceded to Lithuanian Soviet Republic and the middle section to the Russian Soviet Republic.
Konigsberg was then renamed to Kaliningrad.
In 1991, when The Soviet Union Collapsed, Kaliningrad remained a part of Russia, being completely cut of from the rest of the country.
