Kaliningrad Oblast (Russian: Калинингра́дская о́бласть is one of the numerous Russian oblasts (admininstrative subdivisions). Kaliningrad Oblast is geographically interesting in that is situated between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, physically separated from the rest of Russia. Historically, the region is German and the capital was known as Königsberg and it consists of the northern half of historic East Prussia. It was briefly known as Kyonigsberg (Кёнигсберг), (a transliteration of its original German name to Russian) prior to being renamed Kaliningrad (Russian: Калининград), a few years after WWII. The Kaliningrad Oblast thus has only been part of Russia since 1945. Many towns in Kaliningrad Oblast are on the Baltic Sea coast, and have beautiful sandy beaches. It is also the heart of old Prussian kingdom of Brandenburg-Prussia with many ruins of old castles and forts dotting the landscape.
