On Tuesday, Poland's Committee on Standardisation of Geographical Names Outside the Republic of Poland said it was recommending that the city of Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea coast be known in Poland as Królewiec and the exclave's wider area as Obwód Królewiecki.
Russia said the decision was "bordering on madness" and "a hostile act".

Winter nights last endlessly. Once a watchtower, now an Amber Museum, is covered with white snow. But even then, the sunstone radiates a glow through the narrow windows. One day spring will come...

Танцующий лес в Калининграде. Dancing forest in Kaliningrad.

На Куршской косе можно увидеть хвойный лес, стволы которого петляют причудливыми зигзагами. Этот лес здесь прозвали «танцующим». Он расположен на 37-й км косы, в 4-х км севернее поселка Рыбачий и имеет общую протяженность - 1,2 км.
Загадочным танцующий лес был всегда. Со времён основания в 1961 году о причудливой достопримечательности было сложено множество легенд. Кто-то считает, что изогнутые деревья – это силуэты молодых ведьм, внезапно застывших на века во время магического танца. Другая версия гласит что давным-давно князь Бартий влюбился в прекрасную девушку Прединию. Он предложил ей выйти за него замуж, но преградой для влюбленных стала их вера. Князь был язычником, а Прединия христианкой. Бартий согласился принять новую веру, если красавица сможет доказать величие её Бога. Девушка начала играть на арфе. Деревья затанцевали, в один миг остановившись. В таком положении они замерли на века. Спустя годы изогнутые деревья появились на поляне.
Учёные, беспристрастны и в магию не верят, но также пытаются найти объяснение таинственному явлению. По их мнению, причиной искривления могла стать подвижность песков, резкие смены направлений ветра, перепады температур или нашествие гусениц бабочек побеговьюна зимующего, которые повреждают молодые побеги сосен.
On the Curonian Spit you can see a coniferous forest, the trunks of which wind in bizarre zigzags. This forest is called “dancing” here. It is located on the 37th km of the spit, 4 km north of the village of Rybachy and has a total length of 1.2 km. The dancing forest has always been mysterious. Since its foundation in 1961, many legends have been created about the bizarre attraction. Some believe that the curved trees are the silhouettes of young witches, suddenly frozen for centuries during a magical dance. Another version says that a long time ago, Prince Barty fell in love with the beautiful girl Predinia. He asked her to marry him, but their faith became an obstacle for the lovers. The prince was a pagan, and Predinia was a Christian. Bartius agreed to accept the new faith if the beauty could prove the greatness of her God. The girl began to play the harp. The trees danced, stopping in an instant. They froze in this position for centuries. Years later, curved trees appeared in the clearing.
Scientists are impartial and do not believe in magic, but they are also trying to find an explanation for the mysterious phenomenon. In their opinion, the cause of the curvature could be the mobility of sands, sharp changes in wind directions, temperature changes, or the invasion of wintering shoot moth caterpillars, which damage young shoots of pine trees.

České námořnictvo to rozjíždí ve velkém:

(for the people that have not heard of this - after Russia annexed the eastern ukrainian territories after “referendums” a polish-czech twitter interactions led to the idea that Czechia (after an online referendum) annexes Kaliningrad (our historical area, since city was named after a czech king in the 13th century), and therefore it will finally reach the sea again. The joke caught on across a good chunk of czech and polish internet, and these are recruitment posts for such newly founded baltic fleet of the czech navy. )

Russia owns this small piece of land on the Baltic Sea that has its historic roots as a German and Polish region.
