I am Scottish and live in Germany, my grandaughter who is German has a Russian partner from Kaliningrad and we visited the city and spent the New Year with his Babushka. It was fantastic!
i live 10 km from there and would say this is not friendly place ,as a child I heard military blast from there.Very uncomfortable place .I have never been there.
@@piotrwojdelko1150 You have never been there, but you are trying to tell others something about this place. excellent

Exactly. It is a pleasure to watch these videos.

I agree, I watched the video and was surprised myself that in what beautiful city))
@@lifeinrussia5190 used to be insanely beautiful right on par with Prague. Little of that old charm remains but what does is still able to impress even though it doesn't rival St. Petersburg anymore. Before the fact Königsberg used to be about two times prettier than St. Petersburg just to give you an impression. Been to Kaliningrad five years ago and they made some progress - still far from the progress made in places like Breslau though but to be fair Breslau did exceptionally well given that the Lemberg folks that fled there were a bit more accepting of German culture and had no probs building the city from the ground up back to it's old charm.
Great video! My grandfather is from Kaliningrad, from when it still was German and I was always fascinated about it but had never seen any of it. Thanks for showing me around one of my family's ancestral homes. It's great to see that we are now in a time where hostilities are in the past and both German and Russian heritage is embraced side by side.

Misterioso why que tienes ouvido a su respeito?
Kaliningrad is famous for a mathematical problem known as The Seven Bridges of Königsberg. The problem was solved by a Swiss mathematician Leonard Euler in 1736 laying the foundations for topology and graph theory.
lol,
This video has forgot to mention that this little town had been creating famous people of great Importance , as :
Regiomontanus : mathematician
Cathleen Brandenburg ,Princess of Transsylvania Chr. Goldbach:
mathematician Leonard Euler: mathematician Immanuel Kant : philosopher E.T.A. Hoffmann : writer , author G.H.L. Hagen : physicist G. R. Kirchoff:
physicist
K.R.König: physicist
Otto Wallach chemist
D. Hilbert : mathematician
Erich von Drygalski : discoverer
A. Sommerfeld: physicist
Agnes Miegel: physicist
Fanny Lewald: physicist
H.A.Winkler : historian
And no any russians , because russians are only russians .
Many russians live on importing western made cars here, and selling them in Russia . It's their main point .
Euler!!
Impressive!
@@farseverosapirico6248 How about Immanuel Kant -one of the greatest philosophers of the 18th Century -I would say he was the greatest resident of Konigsberg -of all time!
Leonard Euler was Russian mathematician (also)

Did your grandmother tell you what the Germans did with the civilian population of Russia? You ask about the concentration camps.
I am impressed about the change of the city and surroundings within the last 25 years. When I've been there in 1994 it was awful, sad and depressing soviet town... You gave me a kick to go there again :) Thanks
Был в Калининграде в августе 2018 года. Ездили с другом, брали на прокат машину и как и вы катались по области.
Город очень понравился, много молодежи, чувствуется что живой, правда в 12-1 час ночи в городе уже достаточно спокойно. Помню как первый день по приезду пили вино на лавочке у набережной с видом на собор.
Ходили на фестиваль артхаусного кино. На острове Канта показывали фильмы малоизвестных режиссеров, было много крутой молодежи, все приходили с пледами и бутербродами, было очень круто.
Немного раньше уехали и не захватили в сентябре ЧМ по фейверкам, очень интересное мероприятие, приезжали команды с разных уголков мира.

I want to visit St Petersburg. 😊

My ancestors come from the region of Königsberg. This video was very well made, thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for the great content and greetings to all the people of Kaliningrad!
would you like to come visit us? 🥺🤍🇩🇪 I'm from Kaliningrad. i was born here
Do you remember the exact street where your family is from? I could take a picture of it for you. I live here
@@arkady_2000 Firstly, thank you for your comment! Made me really happy there.
They lived in Ortelsburg, which today lies in Ermland-Masuren's Powiat Szczycieński.
When East-Prussia was divided between the USSR and Poland, my ancestors (most of them fled the east anyway) were suddenly part of Poland and the "Regierugsbezirk Königsberg" (capital: Königsberg) was gone/ became Kaliningrad, which is basically just half of former Königsberg. So unless you want to visit Poland for me, I'm afraid there is no way you can help me.
Maybe though, I can find out about some other ancestors I had from the region. I still haven't asked my great-uncle about our roots. My grandmother always says "he knows more about those things". Maybe some of that lies in today's Kaliningrad and I can get back to your comment.
About visiting. I hope, in the future, our countries will find a way to solve things, so that this could be a possibility. I would love to see the Königsberger Dom (thank you for still having it) one day. But all that pales once you bring up the thought of dying Russian and Ukrainian soldiers and the poor people Ukraine. I wish you best of personal luck in life, though, and I hope things get better for us all.
I hope Kaliningrad keeps and expands its tram system. The UK made the mistake of dismantling most of its tram systems back in the '50s and '60s and now many (such as Sheffield, Edinburgh and Nottingham) are having to be rebuilt.
They did decide to keep and restore it recently, they are in the process of renovating the fleet with the new Russian-made vehicles and also plan on restoring some old routes. What Kaliningrad did with its tram in 2000s was nothing short of atrocity, the previous administration did not care about public transport one single bit.
He didn't even notice there are trolley buses; buses driving on electricity.
Nottingham has a few tram lines still but there's no evidence of historic rolling stock or stops sadly, same with the dismantling of trolleybuses. Honestly britian with things like trams and trolleybuses would make this place feel more European rather than the dreary diesel arriva buses and dull roads
I am from Nepal and love watching your videos because you are so descriptive and gives me a feeling that I am also present right there while watching. Many of my school friends after completing their high school went to Russia to study medicine and engineering in the late seventies and used to listen to their college life back then and always imagine how it was then. Your videos are spotless and really worth your effort. Keep on going and best regards. :) :)
My motherland.
Film-story. Very carefully and lovingly filmed. No politics, just facts. You can talk endlessly about the city. It is very nice to see how much has been restored and how much has been rebuilt. How they treat the monuments with care. Rebuilt the Synagogue, which was simply destroyed by the Nazis. People of different nationalities live here and they have no problems between them. I love to come back here again and again. Here are the graves of my parents, relatives, friends. My heart is here.
In Kaliningrad maybe the people speak Russian but at the night, trees whisper in German
The Soviets destroyed so many historical monuments to 'degermanize' the city too.
Great video! I was always fascinated by the Teutonic Knights and the history of Königsberg and I was always curious about what it was like after 1945, when it became Kaliningrad. The same curiosity I have for Dantzig and the Polish Gdánsk. You show us how it is today! Thanks! Congratulations from São Paulo, Brazil!
My grandmother often tells me about her memories of her hometown [Königsberg]. She hasn't been there since childhood. She keeps this city in memory as it once was. Greetings from 🇩🇪.
Well, the rest of the world keeps really appalling memories of what your great-grandparents did... Concentration camps, systematic killings of Slavs, Jews, Romas and others. Killing some of your own people too just because they were communists, Jehovah witnesses, gays, handicaps or simple because they had a brain and did not follow Hitler to hell....Considering that most of the people voted for Hitler in that city in 1933, even after they knew what kind of monster he was since they have read Miene Kampt. I am so glad that this city belongs to Russia now. Of course, your grandma is innocent , I guess she was just a little girl during the war.
@@josevilas4927 Funny that the soviets killed even more than the Nazis, right?
But i guess that doesnt fit your ideology. Disturbing a person respectfully talking about his ancestry.
@@josevilas4927 It is always fascinating me that everyone in the world seems to shame the Germans even though the Germans are pretty much the only ones who not only look back at the beautiful part of there history but also on the very dark and disturbing part.
On my channel you will find the Story of my Grandmother.
@@josevilas4927 communist and capitalist scum started the war
Although I may never visit Russia, I found your videos of Kaliningrad and Vladivostok to be really fascinating. While watching the Kaliningrad videos, I realized that it was Königsberg; the math puzzle I used to study when I was a child was the Seven Bridges of Königsberg and to see it, albeit briefly, almost makes me want to visit. Keep up the good work and showing the kinder side of Russia. If anyone gets something out of these kind of videos, it's that people are different, but people are also the same everywhere. - By the way, if you visit Philly, come to King of Prussia... fair warning, it is nothing like Prussia.
Thanks for adding the history timeline at the beginning. It really helps add context for what we are seeing. Great job on all your videos.

Thanks guys another fantastic interesting video as usual, thanks again and looking forward to your next production..🙂
Very interesting and insightful video about the city! Thank you for making it!
What a beautiful place. Good job presenting this wonderful city.
It's really interesting to see how respectful the Russians who live there today are to the German heritage, there appears to be very little hatred between Germany and Russia today. Sadly in Britain we are encouraged to hate both peoples, it's very irrational and I hope for peace. This documentary was very enlightening and valuable, thank you!
Its because british on average are short and obese and ugly and their food is horrible so most british eat out indian or kebabs from middle east. So of course if I was a british male id hate germany and russia and france and anyone else in central europe out of jealousy too.
Most famous british cuisine; chicken tikka masala lmfao
Finally a good video about Kaliningrad in english, thank you! Views from drone and interview with Vladimir are excellent (he knows the city surprisingly well, it's not so common for locals). I was in the same festival on the Kneiphof island that sunday =))
p.s. the oldest building in the city is Juditter Kirche (1276) and not the Königsberg Cathedral as many think.

Hello from a Filipino living in Spain. I was gonna visit Russia and meet my mom there because it's cheaper for her and no need for a visa. But then Covid happened. Still not giving up on that trip, hopefully by nexg year everything would be back to normal. Great video, keep it up!
such a shame what WW2 did to this city. Imagine visiting old prussian cities like historic Köningsberg in 2021 with the old centre and castle and such...would have been amazing!
Most of German cities are like that - completely destroyed during WW2 and rebuilt after.
Luckily a lot of original architecture (by the standards of what you'd expect from USSR) is preserved and in recent times even restored. The biggest shame they did not preserve the Royal Castle but at least the Cathedral is in good shape!
I invite you to Gdańsk, Poland. And make a comparison: Gdańsk vs Kaliningrad. Gdańsk was destroyed during the war, just like Konigsberg. After the war, German residents left for Germany, and Poles came to replace them. And the Poles rebuilt Gdańsk. And the Russians did not rebuild Königsberg, but built Kaliningrad.
TUWANGSTE was first name of the city before MURDERERS from West came here 800 years ago
Typical explanation of the current situation of the city by the Russians. I am a Pole - after the Germans we got 2 large centers - Wocław and Szczecin, and 15 cities with a population of over 100,000. Wrocław was destroyed between 70-80% - Szczecin in 70% and the rest of these cities were destroyed in the urban substance in the range of 30-95%. Now take a look at what Polish cities look like. Built - restored - they were restored to their former shape - even though we had no money and our capital was destroyed in 95%. We did it in parallel. Of course, a significant percentage of it could not be restored - it was mainly due to the fact that we had over the heads of communists who did not like the restoration of German monuments and often their opinion was final. Exactly - now let's look at Kalilingrad. The city was destroyed no more than the Polish one - and what does it look like now? The only thing that was left there was the cathedral on the island and a few individual objects scattered all over the city. THIS NOT ALLIAN BOMBARDINGS led to the present appearance of the city - but the Soviet government which pursued a deliberate policy of removing everything German. These are facts and stop blaming others - because then you only confirm the stereotypes about you. Your government has led to the situation that now Konigsberg, instead of the pearl of the Baltic, on a par with Gdańsk, has become a nasty communist reminder of the USSR's policy.
Excellent crystal clear 4k video about Kaliningrad.

Tell me about Grandpa Fred then and how he used to go to school there and his folks before him.
You can live there but don't pretend the city to be something it isn't. It's colonial thus you won't ever be a native or able to conclusively call it home. You can only feel at home.
Your best shot is to learn Lithuanian and study Ballistic and go from there to learn Balto Prussian even tho it's pretty much extinct - then you would have to marry a balto-prus person - THEN maybe u get to call.the place ur actual home. Otherwise it's the place is parents or grandparents originally came from.

Really interesting to see the differences in architecture between German and Russian in Kaliningrad
My grandfather grew up there and missed his home all his life since they had to leave the area when WW2 ended.
But in his garage he always had a big map from Soviet time of the "
Калининградская область". As a child i tried to read the russian names but later i was able to read them right and then i called the Russian name to my grandpa and he translated me to the former german name of the town or village. I was reading Черняховск (Chernyahovsk) and he answered "Insterburg, there was my home"
By the way, my grandpa always liked the former Soviet Union and Russians of course, no matter what happened in history.
I lived there (Черняховск), went to a Soviet school (former german cathedral), that city almost survived WW2 and you can still find a lot of germans legacy there, while Kaliningrad was seriously destroyed of course, compared to the movie from 1938. I hope at some time germans will work together with russians in this region to recover some of the currently ruined castles , this is very historical land.

A really fine respectful video, would be very interested in going to have a look. Nice guy doing the narrating really adds to the whole presentation.
Nice video - my connection to Kaliningrad/Königsberg is that my grandmother was born there.
Love this channel..!!
Always so interesting..!!
💯
GREAT VIDEO. THANK YOU!
Loved this video. Exactly what I wanted to learn of this former German city. Great job.
Another fantastic video. thank you for this. I've been to most of the places you showed, on my 6 trips to Kaliningrad, and it was great to see them packed with people enjoying life. I love the people and the place. Can't wait for the next video of the beach areas. Zelenogradsk is my favourite. I've even become friends with the owner of the Sambia Hotel where we stay each year when we go there. Thank you for doing such a great job of promoting the real Russia, in English....means it's easy to share these videos.
In my next video I'll show some of the cities in this region. Zelenogradsk is my favorite too btw
Such nice words about my hometown and most beloved city! Thank you and wellcome!
Waw I'm impressed with the high standard/quality of this video. Very well explained/researched and really very well English spoken. Very entertaining !
Great video. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing this beautiful city.🙏🏽
Slava you really have a wonderful talent. Not only for capturing natural, architectural and historical beauty and wonders, but also all importantly that of anthropology. The golden thread of humanity which weaves people to places where they live.
You remind me of Frederick Skavlan from Norge who is the world's best interviewer. You want to learn something about a public figure or celebrity, you watch his interview of them because he lets his guest speak, not his ego.
I love when you speak to locals because that's when I learn the most.
I also love Lena's accompaniment with you on your travel accounts. She is smart and elegant but importantly real and humanistic as are your mum and sis too.
I particularly loved and learnt much on this video and will be making a beeline here as an easy to travel, microcosm of greater Russia.
Spasiba from your friend in Australia.
Ps your editing and drone images are phenomenal too.
Truly brilliance all around.
Finally i got to know about this part of Russia... waiting for it from long time...
I'm here more than a year...

Great job, nice video... Thanks a lot... :)
This was wonderful. My mom's family left the area in 1945 and I was thrilled to cycle through parts of it in 2019. Your video makes me want to go back! Stayed at the Hotel Moskau. Nice hotel.
A perfect comment written by Anna Theresa (I find this channel clean and respectable. No foul language no badmouthing anyone. The people doing the video are very pleasant.)
Sure
