Kaliningrad, the capital of the fourth Baltic state

Kaliningrad, the capital of the fourth Baltic state

Numerous pictures show that Konigsberg until 1945 (that was the name under German rule) was one of the most fascinating cities in Europe.

After the Second World War and the destruction of all traces Germany by the Russians, con progetti architettonici sbagliati hanno convertito Kalingrado in una città poco interessante.

Nel 1701 venne incoronato nella città il primo re di Prussia e la città ha passato 700 anni di storia prussiana fino al 1945 quando fu occupata dai russi che uccisero moltissimi dei residenti tedeschi (i sopravissuti furono mandati in Siberia) in una delle campagne di pulizia etnica più effettive d’Europa.

La città fu ribattezzata Kalingrado il 4 Luglio del 1946 in onore di Mijail Kalinin, uno dei seguaci di Stalin.

Ultimamente si sta discutendo sull’emarginazione da parte della Russia verso Kalingrado (poche volte incluso nelle mappe) e la creazione di un quarto stato baltico ma i processi sono molto difficili dato che la Russia non cederà mai un territorio con la miniera più grande al mondo di ambra e una zona militare sul mar baltico.
