00:00Why Russia has this piece of earth?
00:03The Oblast of Kaliningrad is located at 370 km east of the rest of Russia.
00:09But to understand how Russia has this territory,
00:13we need to go to the middle of the last century.
00:16Before the Second World War, this earth was part of the east of the Prusse Allemande.
00:21At the beginning of 1945, during the advance of the Soviet Union on the front of the East,
00:26many Germans fled desperately towards the West,
00:29and at the end of the war, the Prusse Oriental was shared by the power of allies
00:34between Poland in the south and the Soviet Union on the north.
00:38The most in the north was ceded to the Soviet Soviet Union
00:42and the central to the Soviet Soviet Union.
00:47Konigsberg was then called Kaliningrad.
00:51In 1991, when the Soviet Union was founded,
00:55Kaliningrad remained a part of Russia, being completely isolated from the rest of the country.
