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..

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.

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....
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.
This Lithuanian babushka at the beginning of the video. May God bless you. People should listen more to the wisdom of her generation.

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.
@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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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?
Its ok we alsaw dont rekognize eu. Becouse our land is u tilč elba river.. Or we rekognize britain nd murica border that we Will soon cut to millions of pieces... Russia is our you gest state. Frommserb
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
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
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?
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.
They probably didn’t have much choice, because the area was occupied by Russia after WWII, but they should never have given Russia the northern part of East Prussia.

+Nikolai Gordienko, Klaipėda/Memel's majority of local population were evacuated in the summer of 1944. But a lot of them didn't suvived evacuation due to soviet attacks.
+Perun, there was not slavic but baltic tribes, educate yourself for god sake.
многие не только люди, но и страны желают быть оккупированными Россией.
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.
Lithuania is member of nato and eu, Russia won't dare to do anything... I mean what's the point? Ahaha
@@riccardoattilia8219 😂😂😂 NATO will do nothing they now its a losing battle
@@riccardoattilia8219 Those scaredy-cat tactics of “it’s a member of NATO”only works for weakling nations like Serbia. At the end of the day if Russia wanted to take over they would easily do it without military resistance and if EU or NATO tries something they’ll be reminded who has more nuclear weapons and it will pass.

It's usually from a single side, either someone trying to bring stuff to their home country or someone trying to bring stuff to the other country.
" Mr Gorbatcev : teardown this wall " . What a Western hypocrisy !!
How I love these green lusher environment.
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.
This wall is built for counter smuggling
Trade is a good thing.
"Kaliningrad" before "Konigsberg" is German territory!!!!
it is not
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.
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.

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.
She might just be Russian. Can't trust the Russians after they sneaked their soldiers into Ukraine.
I've seen thieves jump over such fences in my country when chased.

Fences are decorative.

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.
That fence is more useful than prayer and hopeful thinking, I guess. And that's pretty much that.

Lithuanians call Konigsberg as Karaliaucius. Some odd Lithuanian name they made up:)) like they have something to do with this city
@@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 😂
1:40 - oh yes. Hungary has a much better border fence on the south, to stop illegal immigrants.
germany speaking English and worrying about russia and Lithuania!! haha
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.
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.
Nice story for me in philippines.
Trade Kaliningrad for Crimea! Sounds appropriate!
Why would the height matter. Just crawl underneath.
Lithuanien surnames sound polish to me. Interesting video.
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.
Lithuanian names end in: as, is, us, us. Polish names do not. Lithuanian is not a Slavic language, but rather a Baltic language.
@@craigh.9810 I know that and I agree. As a Pole I easily notice similarities polish and lithuanian surnames. Thank You.

Never

You are greedy ..never think of others..
I also hope ukrain divide in many sovereign counry.
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?
No fence can help Lithuania to get rid of this danger of the huge hostile country called Russia.
Nato is the danger to Russia, and Lithuania is stupid enough to be cannon fodder.
He just implied Poland doesn't recognize Kaliningrad as Russia and I can't say I disagree ♟️

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.

@@CeluiEtSeul If you poke into Russia, Russia pokes into you ;)

And before German colonists it was Lithuanian territory.

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
I just read Kaliningrad votes for independence from Russia... Don't know if it's true.
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
So if Trump wants to build a fence is bad. If others do the same is good???...
Seeing this sort of documentaries from somewhat years ago makes me think how naive, blinded, Europe has been.
No fence can withold a tank...what a waste effort.

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.
@@jankriegler661 in that case your country and your master's country will look the same 😆
They probably didn’t have much choice, because the area was occupied by Russia after WWII, but they should never have given Russia the northern part of East Prussia.
