I think Lithuania would have ended up a lot like Latvia with their Russian population had Lithuania taken Kaliningrad. Sure, over time Latvian Russians are becoming much more "Latvian" but still every time I go to Riga I hear much more Russian than I do Latvian. I think it would take a few generations, but eventually these Kaliningrad Russian would eventually learn Lithuanian and become Lithuanian, but Russian would always be an important language.
Despite this part of Eastern Prussia (Kleinlitauen, Preußisch-Litauen, Litauischer Kreis, Litauische Ämter, Provinz Litthauen) for centuries was inhabited by Lithuanian speaking population (experiencing increasing germanization towards 20th century) is a cradle of modern Lithuanian culture and is dear to our hearts, it is nothing left here from the essence of the land. It is stripped, raped and colonized by alien for us culture, heritage is destroyed, memory of people once lived there erased, all place names changet to newly invented ones which have no connection to the heritage of this land. We do not need an additional Russian population in our country.
Well it would've caused similar issues like the Estonians and Latvians have. With almost quater of their population being ethnically Russian. By itself it wouldn't be that bad but problem arises for the Russians consuming Russian media that is antagonizing local government and destabilizing the entire country.
@@1MuchButteR1 I disagree. Having a huge part of population that is being brainwashed by a hostile government to work against local government is not a good thing. And to the latter point entire EU is Soros playground and all Baltic states are part of it. Lithuania is pretty socially conservative and catholic so EU has hard time pushing their "progressive" agenda. I still wonder why would you call it "strange nation" I lived there for most of my life and don't see anything strange about it.
Russia poisoned whole russian language and culture. You cannot read anything written in russian without suspicion of malicious intent, you cannot trust any information written in kirilica, especially russian language (yes, bulgaria, kazakhstan and others included, the lies seeping from there too easily).
I do wish Kaliningrad Oblast wasn't a part of Russia right now, either a part of Lithuania, Poland, Germany or it's own independent country. This would improve the security of all the baltic states and Poland, sadly most people there don't want to be split away from Russia
if that happened, then Lithuania probably wouldn't be part nato tooday, mainly because at that time support to join nato was barley enough, and extra russians would have meant less support...
The kaliningrad question will have to be solved at some point when Russia collapses again. Might be possible to split it with Poland, with north going to Lithuania along with the curonian lagoon as mentioned in the video.
@@gairionysten3188 countries that cultivate hate to other countries should be sanctioned. There is no place in a globalised world for such people. Even less in the EU. It was a mistake for Lithuania to be integrated. Their hate is just way too overwhelming, not European at all. Go back to the soviet union, haters.
Kalingrad should have remained a part of Lithuania. It was the homeland of so many Prussian Lithuanians and the center of Lithuanian literature. The only reason it became "Russian majority" was because they genocided the region and filled it to the brim with military
better make it a puppet state/protectorate of Lithuania and Poland. We wouldn't really have a good strategy and would in fact struggle with the integration of the rest of the region's inhabitants into our country. We already struggle with immigrants from Belarus, what to even say about Latvia and its struggles with Russian minority.
16 years ago i played street 3x3 basketball there cause of some Lithuanian celebration and i had no problem speaking Lithuanian there...tho went i went there i thought i was going back in time as we were seeing WW2 tanks rotting in the middle of the feels...
My solution would be for some other country that is in the EU or the Schengen area and wants Kaliningrad to take it, making traveling to Poland way easier.
In a perfect world this land should be baltic Prussia, sadly they were conquered and germanised. After ww2 maybe this could have been a place for jews, instead of that programed conflict in Israel with palestinians... However, i think impudent imperialistic colonisators should be expelled from that land back to Russia, but justice requires will power and audacity
As part of karma treatment all the Russian population of "kaliningrad" should've been sent back to Russia/Siberia and the territory united with Lituania. Or it could be settled by immigrants from Israel and South African farmers.

Russians can't become Lithuanian since they have different genetics and appearance.

Yeah, it is sad that Russian people want to be part of Russia. You guys have lost your minds.
if that happened, then Lithuania probably wouldn't be part nato tooday, mainly because at that time support to join nato was barley enough, and extra russians would have meant less support...
@@Gloverfield So why did Estonia and Latvia joined then?
@@Vhisper i think becuse they had less russians before
@@martynasss Umm "you think" is not a fact, please check the data...

Dream on .... or perhaps you prefer a mushroom cloud over Europe.
@@sixzero5576 My dream is mushroom cloud over moscow.
But what about all them russians there?
@@enemy1191 What about them? Colonists will go home.

No i dont think so they most likely would cause problems now or then
I think that Lithuania have right to get back Kaliningrad.
It should be a part of Lithuania.
