Borsch is Ukrainian, not russian.

Kaliningrad has a "charm" of Hoyerswerda in Germany but with added scale, disrepair and depression.

Such an interesting place. Love how the Prussian essence is much more preserved and the two cultures meet. As well as all the cats guiding you through the tour! Very nice video.

There used to be a statue of Lenin next to rhe North Station, about where the Orthodox Cathedral was built. It was removed more than 20 years ago. This Lenin statue is recently placed at the location.

Очень интересно! Никогда не был в Зеленоградске, теперь хочу приехать. Маленькая поправка: по-русски кошек подзывают словами не "здесь-здесь", а "кис-кис". Эта фраза может звучать как "кис-кис", "кс-кс", "кыс-кыс", "кысь-кысь"... Кстати, есть такая старая марка ириса - "Кис-кис". Соответственно, на фантике нарисована кошка. Эти ириски продаются во многих магазинах. Но если просто погуглить "кис-кис", то на первых строчках будут ссылки про группу "Кис-кис", это такая молодёжная музыкальная группа.

The resort of Cranz in East Prussia was little damaged in the war and is a lovely resort again.

I love cats and I love Russia, this video made my day!

awesome video

The cats are so adorable and cute :3 Thank you for showing how intertwined Russian and German history is, it's really worth a visit - Вечная дружба России и Германии. <3

Thank you for this, it is very interesting and you have done a great job. You missed one important building: the beautiful Central Synagogue of Konigsberg was destroyed by the Nazis during Kristallnacht in 1938. The Russian government has carefully rebuilt it, and in 2018 it was reopened. It is now called the "New Synagogue", but is an exact replica of what the Nazis destroyed. Of course, the Jewish population is tiny now compared to before, because of the Holocaust, but that didn't stop the Russian government from righting the wrongs of that terrible night in 1938.

You russians cant fight..youre sneaky.dealing with this shit in western mass.

AS A RUSSOPHILE, I GREATLY APPRECIATE THIS SOVIET AND RUSSIAN HISTORY, AND I LOVE THE SOVIET ANTHEM AT THE END!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My friend, how old are you? You praise Lenin having no idea what was going on during his regime. Go and spend some times as a resident of North Coreea if you in love with Socialism. Spend some time in flats without or less heating. More time to spent to do the queue to wait and maybe buy some low quality food if you are lucky. Then read the newspapers full of Communist propaganda, banner on streets, workplaces full of the same content. Same thing goes on tv, radio. And still you cannot explain your frustration because you are afraid that somebody will turn you in and then you'll go to prison or Gulag.

This video makes me a bit happier

Kalinigrad looks interesting and sometimes has a nice building, but I mourn kalinigrad, especially knowing that there are so many authentic soviet cities but no Prussian ones… hope they leave the plot empty until the castle can be rebuilt, although I doubt Russians care about German castles

More friendship in this selfish evil world?? Keep dreaming it's never gonna happen

Fuck, didn't knew that the House of Soviets was being taken down, it was such a beautiful and iconic part of the city. I hope that whatever they do with the land is something that benefits the city as a whole and not just some private property.

There used to Be Hesburger in Russia as well. The Trip from Helsinki to Tallinn takes only couple of hours. So.there are lots and lots of towns further away from Helsinki in Finland.

Poor old Konigsberg at least adios modern garbage

Was in Budapest,Hungary back in '79. It was awesome. No homeless. No sketchy people and neighborhoods. Safe, clean streets.Beautiful museums.

That food they serve in that cafeteria looks like slop to me

I like European style structure That the country once had It seems like the Soviets don't know how to construct anything

Молодец что не боится поговорить с жителям

Love your videos. I love going for trips to the baltics(and other neighboring countries). For me its just a ferry trip away from Stockholm.

Been 2 times there 👍 Hello from Serbia 🇷🇺🤎🇷🇸

Love how he talks to his buddy Lenin 😅❤

nice video but Р.С.Ф.С.Р actually means People of All Countries Unite. Спасибо

Where is this guy from originally, The US, or Canada? It’s very hard to tell the difference most of the time. People in the state of Minnesota sound more Canadian than most Canadians do. 😂

The current US Vice President-Elect came from poverty. But you’re right, it’s rare.

Holy man. It's quite a nice video! Dude, I could have helped you, if i knew that you were there! I live here as a student for almost 4 years. I'll be honest with you, that this city is kinda nice, but at the same time it's actually sucks too. It's depends where you walk. If you're still in city, we could meet up and I can tell some other stuff about city (as far as I wont have shifts in the delivery)

Yes, working class people were an integral part of the Soviet leadership, but by the end of the Soviet Union, the children of high-ranking party members received the same type of benefits and privileges that the children of empowered capitalists and right wing oligarchs obtained in other parts of the world. Unfortunately many of those devoted Communists did not survive the purges of Stalin. Today the new dictatorship of Vladimir Putin are setting up Russia and the Russian people for yet another historical disaster.

I’m planning a trip to Kaliningrad on my UK passport. Is there an issue regarding being covered by travel insurance?, as the UK foreign office advises against all travel to Russia. I think the Irish government is the same? I heard that some specialist insurance companies will provide the cover though but for a price?

In the USSR from 1922 to 1946, there were two main positions: the head of state - Chairman of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet (president) and the head of government - Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars (prime minister). The head of state and essentially the ruler of the USSR from 1922 to 1946 was Kalinin. In the USSR, people affectionately called him "Grandpa," and in the West, he was known as the "Russian Peasant President," even appearing on the cover of Time in 1928. The head of government from 1922 to 1923 was Lenin, from 1923 to 1930 Rykov, from 1930 to 1941 Molotov, and from 1941 to 1946 Stalin. As we can see, there was a head of state and a head of government from 1922 to 1941. But there was also Stalin, who was the head of the party and the "leader." Only in 1941 did Stalin head the government, becoming the head of government. In 1946, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR was renamed the Council of Ministers of the USSR, and the head of government was accordingly renamed Chairman of the Council of Ministers. It turns out that power in the USSR belonged to the prime minister, the head of government, rather than the head of state, as in Germany (chancellor and president). However, after Khrushchev's resignation, everything changed, and the head of the party became the head of the government to avoid holding enormous power and overseeing ministers. This is why Gorbachev was the president, not the prime minister of the USSR.

So the russians migrated a bunch of russians to this tiny area. Then after the unions end. No one wanted to allow a now overwhelmingly russian area to merge with them?

Are they gonna build something Else?

What was left standing of the konigsberg castle was demolished because it was left in a state of disrepair by the bombings, and rebuilding it would be almost impossible and very costly.

Thanks for the video. Now subscribed!

Big Mac is shite compared to this Food of the Gods.

This guy is patronizing Putin’s Russia in order to feel safe from arrest. What God awful architecture.❤

Kalinin's career is not "impressive". His deeds are sickening. He co-signed the execution order to the mass murder of nearly 22,000 Polish officers in what became known as the Katyn Massacre. 'Katyn' has been blamed on the Nazi Germans over and over again, and this myth (lie) continues even today. Katyn was even shamelessly implemented in the Nuremberg Trials and innocent German POWs have been shot for this crime in the USSR. Signing the order made Kalinin a first degree desk mass murderer, and he is personally responsible for his criminal deeds, as were the other signees: Stalin, Beria, Molotov, Kaganovich, Mikoyan, Voroshilov. Still naming an area after a Stalinist mass murderer is a cruel thing, especially considering that it borders Poland, where sentiments concerning Katyn are still very high, since they have been lied to for centuries by their "Slavic brothers". Poles renamed it therefore Królewiec on their road signs. You will find copies of the signed execution order here: mythdetector.com/en/attempt-to-distort-the-katyn-massacre-2/ The document was found as a top secret piece in the personal archive of the Secretary General of the Communist Party, hidden forever and not to be published, until Yeltsin made it public to show the disgusting crimes of the CPSU and the NKVD. Kaliningrad should have been renamed long ago.

OMG those places are insanely cool!

It was Königsberg in honour of the Czech king (König) Ottokar II. Greetings from a 🇸🇰 guy living in east 🇦🇹!
