| Earlier Wednesday, fierce winds snapped the mast of a Polish sailboat in the Baltic Sea off the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. |
|
| It stretches in concrete waves over the horizon and Kaliningrad is its greatest monumental evocation. |
|
| Kaliningrad is still garrisoned by a shadowy regiment of these babushkas, left over from a time when it was illegal not to work. |
|
| The reason is that Kaliningrad also depends on transit trade through the non-Russian Baltic region. |
|
| Russia's former naval facility of Baltiysk next to Kaliningrad is being converted and modernized to handle an initial 1m tons of cargo a year. |
|
| The council of syndics of the Kaliningrad naval assembly is actively cooperating with the Military Council, the commanders of the Baltic Fleet, organizations of war veterans. |
|
| The Russian president chose Kaliningrad for a trilateral meeting! |
|
| The Soviet Union gained another access to the Baltic with the Kaliningrad Oblast. |
|
| Ancient Greek explorers, most notably Pytheas, even went as far as modern day Kaliningrad, on the Baltic Sea. |
|
| Salt has accumulated in the Zechstein lagoon in the Kaliningrad district, while only one small salt pillow is found in Southwestern Lithuania. |
|
| The position is identical with that of the Soviet occupation of part of East Prussia, including the city of Konisberg renamed Kaliningrad. |
