In 1945 the German population had not already fled was killed or forcibly deported. A new population, from the Soviet Union, was brought in. the territory around Konigsberg was given to Poland and Lithuania, and the city itself renamed Kaliningrad, became Soviet territory, an enclave housing a militarized naval base. Between 1945 and 1989 the Soviet authorities, in what must be a classic case of Stalinish eradication of memory, demolished most of what had not already been destroyed. Every place name and street name changed and the cradle of Prussian monarchy was transformed into a modern Soviet city. Kant’s Konigsberg vanished. ~ Page 51
