I know nothing about this.. but it wouldn't suprise me considering parts of russia used to be east prussia/germany. I would expect many russian cities to have a great many germany speaking people.

LOL, I've read that Russia is going to build a huge nuclear power plant in the Kaliningrad region. So, Europeans, it's your choice: the plant or a coridor.

"What program is that supposed to be ? "

The repopulation of the Kaliningrad Oblast with Germans. I have no link. If you want to look it up , though, I am sure you'll find something.

I've heard about that before.

Actually, there must have been projects by some weirdos who were to exploit the alleged instability in Russia as well as a poverty in the Königsberg/Kaliningrad region for pretty nationalistic tendencies, such as advertising the regional population to join the federal republic of G., after doing some repopulating of the area with Germen migrants to Russia, such as those that were driven behind the Volga by Stalin when the war began.

Is that what you're talking about? When I first heard about it I found it hilarious, I mean it would basically re-create the corridor situation, but it seemed to make some sense back then

I will find a couple of nutjobs who push that idea. The part I wonder about is the government program. There are support programs for the german minority in the CIS, but what resettlement program ? Where did you get that ?

Saras... the partition treaties among the victor powers had a Soviet zone in mind that basically had the shape of the 1937 east borders. The guys just never took it for serious, thought Poles were easier to handle than Germans. In reality, the Poles had their counter revolution first.

I don't think there's anything Germany can demand when it comes to WWII debts

Well Roland, I haven't heard a thing about government support for that sort of programm either, I thought thpse wee only supported by some odd former army generals and stuff.... but government support? Dal, are you sure you're not simplifying things and mixing them up?

Germany : " Yes, we know we were lunatic nutjobs back then , trying to kill most of the world's population, as they were unworthy. But .... what about the Kaliningrad Oblast ?! "

There is no Russian empire anymore and AFAIK the Soviets didn't take on all of Russia's treaties when the reds came to power.

yes, but Russian Federation is the continuation of the Russian Empire more than of the Soviet Union. if you say otherwise, I demand all of the republics back.

Well, Russia may have overtaken the USA in terms of the quantity of weapon exports. But in terms of the net dollar income for weapon sales the USA still remains far ahead of Russia.
