    I wonder: if the people of Kaliningrad just suddenly decided to declare independence right now, would Moscow be in a position to stop them?

      Just redraw the border when no one is looking. They’re busy with Ukraine right now…and some fires too.

        No no. An existing EU nation absorb over a million Russian voters? That’s a disaster waiting to happen.

          And from what I’ve heard/read, is the reason why Germany declined offers from Yeltzin, to hand over the territory back to Germany in 1990’s.

            I’m just saying, Kaliningrad would have to go independent.

              It’s one of the first to start the dominoes, agreed.
