For more than a thousand years, this area was well within German East Prussia. Nobody mentions the expulsion of millions of native Germans, nor the fact, these current dwellers, are living in houses and on farms, they neither built, nor created.
It doesn't belong to Germany for 75 years now... so that's ANCIANT history. It was part of Nazi Germany, yes, but Nazi Germany was defeated thank God and all the Nazi Germans were kicked out of there. 🙂
It was actually baltic lands until murderers from Teutonic order came and destroyed the natives and occupied the land (aka crussades), if we're talking about the acient history.. Germany held it for very long but it wasn't theirs to begin with. Anyway, all that was a very very long time ago. I didn't know about the expulsions. That's terrible. I feel so sorry for those people. I wish we still had Germans next door instead of orcs.
Actually it became part of german lands only in 13 century, when germans occupied this area. Prussians, or old prussians how it is called today to avoid the confusion with low and high prussia, were baltic people who spoke a baltic language, called prussian. A name Prussia is actually of baltic origin. They stopped speaking prussian in 17th century due to years of germanization. Up until 2nd World War they lived there and spoke german with many additional baltic worlds. So your claims are rubbish.
@@Berlynic If we're asked very nicely, we might come back, but then we'll have the orcs breathing down our necks. That's not a nice idea. Please let us stay in Germany.

Being worried about your nation is one thing, but I think a fence is pointless and a waste of money. The farmer was right, if Russia wants to, they'll do it. The only thing Lithuania can do is call upon its young population to prepare to defend itself like Poland did for 60 years when World War II began.
@Rmoncion2k 98 Yeah cuz russia wants nuclear war, dude the US alone has enough nuclear bombs to wipe russia off the map. This is all posturing in order to put pressure on EU/NATO they won't invade
This Lithuanian babushka at the beginning of the video. May God bless you. People should listen more to the wisdom of her generation. And judging by this video, the ones "worried" the most about Russia are these well-fed politicians, like that clown - after all, he gets paid for that ;) Литовская бабушка в начале видео. Благославит её Господь. Побольше бы прислушивались к её поколению. И судя по этому видео, больше всего Россия волнует таких упитанных политиков, как этот клоун - ему ж за это деньги платят ))
The Georgians and Ukrainians said the same thing a few years ago, and what happened to them? Listening to the wisdom of older generations may not be the solution to a very complicated issue.
It's not like Russia brutally assaulted Ukraine. Oh, wait. Typical Russian, telling everyone to relax and not worry...as you build up a military attack on the neighbors.
The Lithuanians and Poles are well aware of the crimes the Russians committed in the Ukraine and in Georgia where they did not respect the sovereign national borders. So it is only natural they feel threatened, having in mind those terrible years under soviet dictatorship and the feeling, that russia hasn't changed a bit. still that asshole.
Exactly leave us alone without borders, Go where we want buy mushrooms 🍄 and Move or swim freely. But the politicians should have the borders on paper and in their brain.
@@Serendip98Well, who knows, maybe after Putin...look at west Europe, we were killing each other till 80 years ago, for all our history. Things can change, there is nothing wrong with the Russian people, they are not in a democratic country were can have a say on something.
Around 1990 Russia offered to give Kaliningrad (former Königsberg) back to Germany but neither the German politicians nor any other European leaders liked the idea.
It's an interesting idea but the big problem is that all the Germans that lived there are long gone. Germany would be receiving a disconnected chunk of land chock full of Russians, and that's a headache.
Putin believes wherever u have ethnic Russians, Russia has jurisdiction over that land or country...USSR is no more, Mr Putin, those fomer Soviets are now independent nations that have the freedom of association....
Just tell me that u are kidding! Poor Leimonas swims only to the middle of the river because he knows that on the other side are the russians who are coming with their bombs and tanks... :D
Much better for the Kaliningrad to be a Province of Lithuania and form a good Government for the good & betterment of the Citizens. And the Province to be Developed and make there Country Grows Economically Great and Safe to live on by the people.
Lmao. You want them to be invaded like Unkraine with Russian claiming that they treating the Russian minority badly like they said in East Ukraine or Georgia
@@MM-kz9pd Well, that is just a translation along the word root. Königsberg (DE), Karaliaučius (LT) or Královec (CZ), all those words have the same root = König, karalius and král, which all means "king". It is just a linguistic feature, not something too personal.
The main problem with the border is that in a lot of places it is very hard to get the locals to take it seriously. Try telling someone " no you can not go to the shop down the street it's in another country ". The border is not really for them it's for the idiot Russian authorities. A bunch of corrupt bastards. Russia seems to allow the shit to rise straight to the top. The average person is just that a "person" same as any where but living under a crap regime. Those in authority in Russia are suspicious of each other and every one else. They always look for a quick profit with no thought of the future even if it harms them. So you have a system where the border guards just want to do their job but their boss's boss's commander thinks there's money to be made through bribes so starts demanding everyone start paying him for the "privilege" of just doing there job. They say "where am I going to get this money?" and are told find a way. What are they to do? Nothing but start taking money from gangsters and smugglers so they can pay off their boss's. For all the best will by these Russia border guards they never have a chance of being honest. It rots from the Russian head to the feet on the ground. Then it creeps over the border and start rotting back up the Lithuanian's till it gets to their head eventually.
@Anonymous Guy The Germans certainly know how to betray their own national interests, do they? Well, Russia invaded Crimea, so the Russians can't really justify their continued occupation of Königsberg.
I don't think Germany could successfully integrate it. Since it was taken over by the Soviet Union, Kaliningrad is almost 100% russian speaking. Maybe it should be released as it's own independent nation.
Really, the East Prussians who survived have actually returned to visit and have no desire to return forever. Good for the Russians to do so. Let's just keep everyone where they are thank you. It will be a while before anyone in Eastern Europe trusts Russia again. Having a former KGB agent with absolute power doesn't help.
Wtf? I am from Kaliningrad. The Last german living here were moved to Germany in 1946, so how do you plan to move abot 1 mln russians from their homes with their own properties?
we must help and support our neighbours in the EU! I know its not popular, but I think like a European, (by the way,) I am a New Zealander living in Denmark , there is no true solidarity in Europe, all talk and no action. divisions growing again! right wing nationalism growing again! remember the victims (wars and conflicks) that gave their lives so others can be Free , Free from Tyranny and Facisism, force and oppression, Injustice!

If you want more support, integrate your defence with Europe. Europe has 50 percent more of everything exept nukes. But you insist of having a badly lead disorganised defence that is a logistical mess. Its ridicilus to pay more money because you refuse to streamline your organisation.
Totally agree. The scary part, that fascist regimes like Russia covertly fund all nationalist and other right-wing parties to destroy EU from inside...
Not one bit. Most Lithuanian names end in: -as, is, us, us. Polish names do not. The Lithuanian language is not Slavic, but belongs to the Baltic group along with Latvian.
That looked like an interesting place to visit... until I saw all the flying insects! Makes me itchy just watching! 😬 If I ever visit, I'll take plenty of repellant.
My ancestors came to America and settled in Wisconsin in 1855-56. They came from a place called Prussia. It says so on the federal censuses for 1860 and 1870. After unification in 1871 the census listed them as coming from Germany. When I started trying to trace them with online genealogy in the 21st century all I had to work with was a record of when they registered to emigrate from a place called Koenigsberg. It was very confusing. At first I thought it must be a famous city on the eastern end of the Baltic Sea that no longer exists. But after visiting Munich and Berlin in 2002 I figured out that there was another town called Koenigsberg that used to exist about eighty miles northeast of Berlin. The Poles now call it Chojna. It was the county seat of a county (Kreis) in East Brandenburg that was called Kreis Koenigsberg. It turns out that that entire northwest portion of present day Poland was the home of farmers and fishermen, five million of them, who'd been speaking German for hundreds and hundreds of years and it extended all the way up to what is now Kaliningrad and beyond. The UN and the Allies (including the Soviet Union) awarded what is now Kaliningrad to the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union no longer exists except in the mind of Vladimir Putin. After thirty years Russia is still considered the successor state to the non-existent Soviet Union. But weren't the Baltic states, as well as Poland and East Germany, also successor states of the non-existent USSR? Shouldn't that be addressed by the UN Security Council? Russia has violated the Ukrainian border and on that account should lose its veto on the Security Council. Maybe Ukraine is the real successor state to the Soviet Union. Kaliningrad might as well be the Lost Continent of Atlantis. Wo ist Prussia? Wo ist Koenigsberg?
1,5 million for 12000 posts. WTF?! What they made of? This is how money laundering happens in Lithuania by those who is in a position like this joker in the video.
Awww! I so wish that old babushka in the beginning could be able to cross the stupid borders to pick her mushrooms. She's licking her lips and look so hungry. I bet she make a great stew with mushrooms. :)
The decision to give East Prussia to Russia is likely right, gift by winning allies of ww2 was likely right: that way the militarily over-ambitious clans of East Prussia will no longer have a homeland close to Warsaw to wage invasion wars on Slavic lands. East Prussia was about 55 miles from Warsaw, making it easier for Germans living in East Prussia to mount raids on the Polish capital city 55 miles away. .. Russian kingdom also owned East Prussia for all of five years, to six years from a out 1775 to about 1780. Teutonic knights owned East Prussia for about a thousand (1000) years. Germany conquered East Prussia for another 1000 years. Russia owned East Prussia for the shortest time, from about 1776 to about 1791 or so. In about 1777, locals of East Prussia (likely ethnic Germans of East Prussia) had an audience with the czar in Saint Petersburg (capital city of Imperial Russia of the Romanov Dynasty) , and ethnic Germans convinced the the Russian Czar to vacate East Prussia in about 1777, as ".. we would like to inform your majesty that Imperial Russia had enough land." The Czar agreed with them, and in about that time in about 1776 he decided to give East Prussia from Russia to a local German kingdom of the area, and ordered that Imperial Imperial armies vacate East Prussia. In 1945, the situation was different:: Nazi Germany had just tried to conquer all of Russia in ww2 and conquer all of the Slavic lands east of Germany in ww2, while massacring Slavic peoples both Christians and Jews during ww2. So, Soviet Union convinced the winning allies to let Russia keep the smaller north sea-side section of East Prussia known as Kaliningrad today, while Poland gets more land from Germany, including the bulk of East Prussia nearer to Warsaw, and parts of East Prussia south of the Russian sea-side area of Kaliningrad. The military clans of East Prussia were disbanded after ww2, and given more docile last names. Why were Soviet troops cruel and East Prussia and very nice at the moment of entry into every town and village in aminland Germany? As per terms of Crimea accord, Russia was to keep the sea side areas of East Prussia (formerly of Nazi Germany) while Poland gets the larger area of the rest of East Prussia inland which were close to Warsaw.This way the allies reasoned there will never be a ww3.
Before Putin invades the baltic states he should look at pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. If the russian army invades this countries, Moscow and St. Petersbourg will look like Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.

A name Prussia is actually of baltic origin. They stopped speaking prussian in 17th century due to years of germanization. Up until 2nd World War they lived there and spoke german with many additional baltic worlds. So your claims are rubbish.
@@Berlynic If we're asked very nicely, we might come back, but then we'll have the orcs breathing down our necks. That's not a nice idea. Please let us stay in Germany.

Totally agree. Nobody wants that land because of orcs. It's a shame that scum lives on that beautiful land now. We all have important historical ties to that land.
I dare to daydream what if it belonged to one of us (LT, PL, or DE) instead of orcs.
But when the land is infested with parasites it's better to distance ourselves from it.
Being worried about your nation is one thing, but I think a fence is pointless and a waste of money. The farmer was right, if Russia wants to, they'll do it. The only thing Lithuania can do is call upon its young population to prepare to defend itself like Poland did for 60 years when World War II began.
Lithuania is a member of NATO. If Russia invaded it would be fighting against most of Europe and N. America.

The Georgians and Ukrainians said the same thing a few years ago, and what happened to them? Listening to the wisdom of older generations may not be the solution to a very complicated issue.
It's not like Russia brutally assaulted Ukraine. Oh, wait. Typical Russian, telling everyone to relax and not worry...as you build up a military attack on the neighbors.
The Lithuanians and Poles are well aware of the crimes the Russians committed in the Ukraine and in Georgia where they did not respect the sovereign national borders. So it is only natural they feel threatened, having in mind those terrible years under soviet dictatorship and the feeling, that russia hasn't changed a bit. still that asshole.

12,000 Wiener dogs would do a better job than that fence, and they would never see them coming until it was too late!
If Russia does not agree that the fencing demarcates the border between the two countries, the fence will be as good as useless.
The fence is the attempt to stop cheap Russiian cigarette and alcohol smugglers, nothing more nothing less.
At least the Kaliningrad Russians does not move the border on a weekly/nightly basis as they do (Russians) with the Georgian/Russian border...
Such a shame we cannot be all friends...

What a waste of money! Never has a wall in a history of mankind ever protected anyone.
1:40 - oh yes. Hungary has a much better border fence on the south, to stop illegal immigrants.
Around 1990 Russia offered to give Kaliningrad (former Königsberg) back to Germany but neither the German politicians nor any other European leaders liked the idea.
It's an interesting idea but the big problem is that all the Germans that lived there are long gone. Germany would be receiving a disconnected chunk of land chock full of Russians, and that's a headache.
It's not a ban transit, it's a special supply chain operation.
But how does the fence stop soldiers from crossing over. Work towards peace, we have enough wars😪
Fences gates and locks are to keep the honest people out,,, nothing more.,
That fence is more useful than prayer and hopeful thinking, I guess. And that's pretty much that.

@@MM-kz9pd Well, that is just a translation along the word root. Königsberg (DE), Karaliaučius (LT) or Královec (CZ), all those words have the same root = König, karalius and král, which all means "king". It is just a linguistic feature, not something too personal.
@@RichieLarpa and only the Russians managed to change the name in its root entirely 😂
The main problem with the border is that in a lot of places it is very hard to get the locals to take it seriously. Try telling someone " no you can not go to the shop down the street it's in another country ". The border is not really for them it's for the idiot Russian authorities. A bunch of corrupt bastards. Russia seems to allow the shit to rise straight to the top. The average person is just that a "person" same as any where but living under a crap regime.
Those in authority in Russia are suspicious of each other and every one else. They always look for a quick profit with no thought of the future even if it harms them.
So you have a system where the border guards just want to do their job but their boss's boss's commander thinks there's money to be made through bribes so starts demanding everyone start paying him for the "privilege" of just doing there job. They say "where am I going to get this money?" and are told find a way. What are they to do? Nothing but start taking money from gangsters and smugglers so they can pay off their boss's.
For all the best will by these Russia border guards they never have a chance of being honest. It rots from the Russian head to the feet on the ground. Then it creeps over the border and start rotting back up the Lithuanian's till it gets to their head eventually.
US wall on its southern border looks more solid.
Fences are decorative.
Fence posts look pretty weak
germany speaking English and worrying about russia and Lithuania!! haha
I think you mean Königsberg and Ostpreußen, DW.
@Anonymous Guy The Germans certainly know how to betray their own national interests, do they? Well, Russia invaded Crimea, so the Russians can't really justify their continued occupation of Königsberg.
Would be more peaceful if the exclave was returned to Germany. That country has learnt from its past and you would save 1.5 million Euros.
I don't think Germany could successfully integrate it. Since it was taken over by the Soviet Union, Kaliningrad is almost 100% russian speaking. Maybe it should be released as it's own independent nation.
The Germans lost that right to have it the moment they've stepped on Soviet soil. Besides, Kaliningrad is too strategic for the Russians to hand over.
Really, the East Prussians who survived have actually returned to visit and have no desire to return forever. Good for the Russians to do so. Let's just keep everyone where they are thank you. It will be a while before anyone in Eastern Europe trusts Russia again. Having a former KGB agent with absolute power doesn't help.
Wtf? I am from Kaliningrad. The Last german living here were moved to Germany in 1946, so how do you plan to move abot 1 mln russians from their homes with their own properties?
Give Russians back 14M fallen soldiers and 14M murdered civilians and I am sure you gonna make a deal with them

Not one bit. Most Lithuanian names end in: -as, is, us, us. Polish names do not.

My ancestors came to America and settled in Wisconsin in 1855-56. They came from a place called Prussia. It says so on the federal censuses for 1860 and 1870. After unification in 1871 the census listed them as coming from Germany. When I started trying to trace them with online genealogy in the 21st century all I had to work with was a record of when they registered to emigrate from a place called Koenigsberg. It was very confusing. At first I thought it must be a famous city on the eastern end of the Baltic Sea that no longer exists. But after visiting Munich and Berlin in 2002 I figured out that there was another town called Koenigsberg that used to exist about eighty miles northeast of Berlin. The Poles now call it Chojna. It was the county seat of a county (Kreis) in East Brandenburg that was called Kreis Koenigsberg. It turns out that that entire northwest portion of present day Poland was the home of farmers and fishermen, five million of them, who'd been speaking German for hundreds and hundreds of years and it extended all the way up to what is now Kaliningrad and beyond. The UN and the Allies (including the Soviet Union) awarded what is now Kaliningrad to the Soviet Union. But the Soviet Union no longer exists except in the mind of Vladimir Putin. After thirty years Russia is still considered the successor state to the non-existent Soviet Union. But weren't the Baltic states, as well as Poland and East Germany, also successor states of the non-existent USSR? Shouldn't that be addressed by the UN Security Council? Russia has violated the Ukrainian border and on that account should lose its veto on the Security Council. Maybe Ukraine is the real successor state to the Soviet Union. Kaliningrad might as well be the Lost Continent of Atlantis. Wo ist Prussia? Wo ist Koenigsberg?
That is Baltic Pruss land, not Russian.
Agree, it belonged to Baltic Prussian tribe. Sadly Germans exterminated them many hundreds years ago..
Königsberg and East Prussia are German land.
Are you sure about that? Because on several occasions it's been offered to Lithuania and Germany.
@@borussiagermania4089 It is as German as US or Canada are British. Neither Germans nor Russians are native to this land.

The decision to give East Prussia to Russia is likely right, gift by winning allies of ww2 was likely right: that way the militarily over-ambitious clans of East Prussia will no longer have a homeland close to Warsaw to wage invasion wars on Slavic lands. East Prussia was about 55 miles from Warsaw, making it easier for Germans living in East Prussia to mount raids on the Polish capital city 55 miles away. .. Russian kingdom also owned East Prussia for all of five years, to six years from a out 1775 to about 1780. Teutonic knights owned East Prussia for about a thousand (1000) years. Germany conquered East Prussia for another 1000 years. Russia owned East Prussia for the shortest time, from about 1776 to about 1791 or so. In about 1777, locals of East Prussia (likely ethnic Germans of East Prussia) had an audience with the czar in Saint Petersburg (capital city of Imperial Russia of the Romanov Dynasty) , and ethnic Germans convinced the the Russian Czar to vacate East Prussia in about 1777, as ".. we would like to inform your majesty that Imperial Russia had enough land." The Czar agreed with them, and in about that time in about 1776 he decided to give East Prussia from Russia to a local German kingdom of the area, and ordered that Imperial Imperial armies vacate East Prussia. In 1945, the situation was different:: Nazi Germany had just tried to conquer all of Russia in ww2 and conquer all of the Slavic lands east of Germany in ww2, while massacring Slavic peoples both Christians and Jews during ww2. So, Soviet Union convinced the winning allies to let Russia keep the smaller north sea-side section of East Prussia known as Kaliningrad today, while Poland gets more land from Germany, including the bulk of East Prussia nearer to Warsaw, and parts of East Prussia south of the Russian sea-side area of Kaliningrad. The military clans of East Prussia were disbanded after ww2, and given more docile last names. Why were Soviet troops cruel and East Prussia and very nice at the moment of entry into every town and village in aminland Germany? As per terms of Crimea accord, Russia was to keep the sea side areas of East Prussia (formerly of Nazi Germany) while Poland gets the larger area of the rest of East Prussia inland which were close to Warsaw.This way the allies reasoned there will never be a ww3.
