Travel with me in Russia : Svetlogorsk Kaliningrad - BAD and GOOD - two faces of the same ruble

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hello, fellow travelers.
Here are my pictures from Svetlogorsk, located in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia.
Kaliningrad was called Königsberg when it was Eastern Prussia. And Svetlogorsk was Rauschen.
It was annexed by Russia after World War II. So they renamed everything and kicked off those Fritz. However, Russia kept some nice German architecture.
Let me first show you the interesting part.

Let's enter the world of RUSSIA
