48 hours in Kaliningrad, Russia 

Hi! My name is Elvira and I was born in Kaliningrad. I travel there twice a year to visit my relatives. Now I live in California. I know a lot of information about city, cool places in Kaliningrad and countryside. If you have any questions about how to visit Kaliningrad or what to see text me. I will answer all your questions with pleasure. I am big fan of Kaliningrad city and I want to share my love with others.

Preußens Herz...

I loved when I was in Kali, Privet iz Hispanii !

I live in Kaliningrad

I wanted to visit Kaliningrad this summer but in current situation it will probably be a problem. Do you still welcome tourists from Poland?

Who did the background music? It sounds great.

Schade das es nur wenige Beiträge über Kaliningrad in deutscher Sprache gibt. Das deutsch russische Verhältnis ist immer noch etwas unterkühlt...

4:20 songname?? And whats that for a songgenre ??

Super interesting. Must be an odd place to live

It is Russia. By the way, why do you put those dark gray filters on everything, it makes it look ugly.

Good vid

0:20 What is this building going to be in KALININGRAD Town Square?

48 hours in Königsberg, East-Prussia (or Germany).

My great grandpa comes from there

Coffeeshops are definitely better than those in Germany 👍Service too, but it's easy since customer service doesn't exist in German countries:)

Go to Transylvania and u will see german arhitecture together with urss buildings.

Now i am in moscow how can i visit kaliningrad city?

Maybe i'm wrong but i feel that this is not a Russian city,but a Russian colony. Casablanca wasn't a french city...My comment it is not political.

Serbia is second kaliningrad russians are always welcome here :D

I hope one day Kaliningrad becomes an independent, democratic country 🙏

Not a single mention of the Prussian Goblin. This is Dogmatism.

The guide is so cute 😍🤰

This video has forgot to mention that this little town had been creating famous people of great Importance , as : Regiomontanus : mathematician Cathleen Brandenburg ,Princess of Transsylvania Chr. Goldbach: mathematician Leonard Euler: mathematician Immanuel Kant : philosopher E.T.A. Hoffmann : writer , author G.H.L. Hagen : physicist G. R. Kirchoff: physicist K.R.König: physicist Otto Wallach chemist D. Hilbert : mathematician Erich von Drygalski : discoverer A. Sommerfeld: physicist Agnes Miegel: physicist Fanny Lewald: physicist H.A.Winkler : historian And no any russians , because russians are only russians . Many russians live on importing western made cars here, and selling them in Russia . It's their main point .

Centuries ago, Russia owned Kaliningrad and east Prussia for six years from say, about 1690 to about 1696. Or say from 1776 to 1792, I forgot the years. It's all over google searches, which years Russian Kingdom of the Romanov Dynasty owned East Prussia. Battle of Eylau is one such battle. Germany owned Kaliningrad for a few centuries while Poland also owned east Prussia for a few centuries. In 1940, Nazi Germany declared that it will conquer all Slavic countries and re-settle these countries with Soviet citizens with German word anywhere in their names. eg. Boris Fritz Yeltsin, Boris Vindman Volkov, Ivan alexei Vindman. At the end of world war 2, the winning allies in Potsdam decided to give a larger area of East Prussia to Poland, as Poland had also owned East Prussia for a few earlier centuries many centuries back. Meanwhile, any ethnic Russian or Ukrainian with a German word in their names were allowed to re-settle into Kaliningrad, a smaller part of East Prussia. So, the ww2 allies decided to implement Hitler's plans at Potsdam meetings and Yalta meetings, to give a little percentage of land of East Prussia , the seaport part, to Russia, in order to re-settle Soviet citizens with a German word somewhere in their names in the smaller north part of East Prussia, which they called Kaliningrad. Russia got , say about 25 percent of East Prussia while Poland got 75 percent of landmass of East Prussia at the end of ww2. Both areas of former East Prussia are full or Poles or ethnic Russians, over 90 percent, as of today.

The decision to give seaside areas of East Prussia to Russia and Poland is likely right, gift by winning allies of ww2 was likely right: that way the militarily over-ambitious clans of East Prussia will no longer have a homeland close to Warsaw to wage invasion wars on Slavic lands. East Prussia was about 55 miles from Warsaw, making it easier for Germans living in East Prussia to mount raids on the Polish capital city 55 miles away. .. Russian kingdom also owned East Prussia for all of five years, to six years from a out 1775 to about 1780. Teutonic knights owned East Prussia for about a thousand (1000) years. Germany conquered East Prussia for another 1000 years. Russia owned East Prussia for the shortest time, from about 1776 to about 1791 or so. In about 1777, locals of East Prussia (likely ethnic Germans of East Prussia) had an audience with the czar in Saint Petersburg (capital city of Imperial Russia of the Romanov Dynasty) , and ethnic Germans convinced the the Russian Czar to vacate East Prussia in about 1777, as ".. we would like to inform your majesty that Imperial Russia had enough land." The Czar agreed with them, and in about that time in about 1776 he decided to give East Prussia from Russia to a local German kingdom of the area, and ordered that Imperial Imperial armies vacate East Prussia. In 1945, the situation was different:: Nazi Germany had just tried to conquer all of Russia in ww2 and conquer all of the Slavic lands east of Germany in ww2, while massacring Slavic peoples both Christians and Jews during ww2. So, Soviet Union convinced the winning allies to let Russia keep the smaller north sea-side section of East Prussia known as Kaliningrad today, while Poland gets more land from Germany, including the bulk of East Prussia nearer to Warsaw, and parts of East Prussia south of the Russian sea-side area of Kaliningrad. The military clans of East Prussia were disbanded after ww2, and given more docile last names. Why were Soviet troops cruel and East prussia and very nice at the moment of entry into every town and village in aminland Germany? As per terms of Crimea accord, Russia was to keep the sea side areas of East Prussia (formerly of Nazi Germany) while Poland gets the larger area of the rest of East Prussia inland which were close to Warsaw.This way the allies reasoned there will never be a ww3.
