[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9588984, member: 2844"]Jump in as much and often as you like, your contribution is always valuable.:kiss: When someone's country is given to someone else by third parties it always ends in trouble. We see the sad result on the news every day.:rolleyes: You're right, historically it had nothing to do with Russia, except trade connections. It had the same trade connections with most of northern Europe. Yes, one of several mass deportations as part of the Russification of non-Russian countries and regions. The population was a German-Old Prussian mix, who spoke high-German and were culturally German. Interesting. Lithuania currently has difficulty with its current Russian minority, imagine what it would have been like if it had 1 million more. The Twangste/Königsberg/Kaliningrad situation is a problem though, given its location and the Russian military activities. It will remain a problem as long as Russia creates problems.:([/QUOTE]
