    This little territory has lost like half a million people due to them invading Ukraine. Somehow.

      And according to the Kremlin, it was a 3 day operation. Very efficient.

      Can you cite that? According to the official statistics the population of the whole region is around 1 032 000 people now and has been around 1 029 000 in 2021, the stats are mirrored in wiki, russian only:

      ru.wikipedia.org/…/Население_Калининградской_обла…

      The official source is rosstat.gov.ru but my browser says that there is a potential security risk.

    Somehow, Immanuel Kant managed to spend his entire life there (and he lived to a ripe old age of 80 years), and still became one of the most influential philosophers in modern history.

    However, it was still part of Germany back then.

      i had a frustrating conversation recently about the ethnic cleansing of Königsburg to create kaliningrad. the person i was talking to kept saying that all the Germans had to be removed because they were nazis. the problem there is that this simply isn’t true. the red army and the Free Deutschland movement cooperated on the liberation of the city from nazi control. after the collapse of nazi germany, the red army largely turned on their former Free Deutschland allies, only keeping the most staunchly authcomm officers around and relocating them to what would become East Germany.
