Why Kaliningrad is the most important wedge for Russia to enter Europe?

Kaliningrad occupies an important geographical position. First, the Soviet Union controlled the Baltic Sea in order to be strict with Germany; Second, the Soviet Union controlled the Baltic Sea to intimidate; The Soviet Union of Western Europe III controlled the Baltic Sea in order to monitor the three countries of Robo. Therefore, for Russia, Little Kaliningrad won three things in one fell swoop and could not be lost in any case.

Kaliningrad is the ancestral land of Germany, the birthplace of the bloody spirit of East Prussia, and the fighting power of Germany. So Russia occupied this place, changed it into Kaliningrad and drove the Germans away. The removal of German elements made this land completely Russian and castrated Germany completely, which made it impossible to continue its tradition of building a country with iron and blood. It turned out to be true. Germany, which lost East Prussia, lost the lowest level of force after the war, and now it is completely different. Kaliningrad is close to Poland and close to western European countries. It is like a wedge in Europe, and occupying it can deter Europe.

During the Cold War, Kaliningrad was the frontier of cold war confrontation. The Soviet Union deployed troops and missiles here, which was close enough to deter Europe and was an unsinkable aircraft carrier. The three Baltic countries have always been Russia's rivals in history, and the Polish-Lithuanian Federation was Russia's biggest threat. Kaliningrad is next to Lithuania and can directly monitor the three Baltic countries.

After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Kaliningrad became an enclave more than 500 meters away from Russia, but it was still a pawn for Russia to contain Europe, leaving Europe under a megatron. As a result, Leningrad, a small family, officially became an important chess piece for Russia to deal with Europe. It is Russia's response to the European problem that kills three birds with one stone.
