Kaliningrad, located on the Baltic Sea coast between Lithuania and Poland, without land connection with Russia, is Russia's only piece of land in Europe. Kaliningrad is a settlement that has been an important city in Russia throughout history and served as the capital of the German East Prussian State at the time. Did you know that this land was a German land before? Before World War II, the name of the city that belonged to Nazi Germany was Konigsberg. As the Germans began to lose the war, Russia took the city and changed its name to Kaliningrad.
