Kaliningrad Oblast

Kaliningrad Oblast (Russian: ??????????????? ???????), informally called Yantarny kray (Russian:???????? ???? - meaning Amber region) is an administrative division (oblast) of Russia on the Baltic coast, with no land connection to the rest of Russia: an enclave of the European Union. It is the westernmost parcel of land belonging to Russia, separated from the rest of Russia by Lithuania and Belarus. Its largest city is Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), which has historical significance as both a major city of Prussia and the capital of the former German province East Prussia, of which the region remains the core remnant.
