Lithuania's fence on Kaliningrad border | DW Documentary

Lithuania is securing its border to Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast with a two-meter-high fence, hoping to better protect the country against smugglers - and perhaps against Russia itself.

    yep, and slavic countries have a really big mushroom picking culture aswell (in polish there is even a single word for it "grzybobranie" (literally "mushroom-taking"), not sure about lithuanian, but probably they have one too) many poles used to go to germany for mushroom picking, since germans dont really have big mushroom picking culture, so there are A LOT of easily findable mushrooms in their forests, while polish forests are usually quickly picked clean :p, however the germans implemented a law saying that you cant bring more than 1kg of mushrooms trough the border

    Václav Havel: "I think there has been such a Russian problem for many centuries that Russia does not know exactly where it begins and where it ends. Even though it is the largest country in the world, it still feels that it is a bit small and that it is threatened even by the small neighbors around it. "

    Well, it was first Lithuanians who invaded Kievan Rus' (namely Ruthenian part) in 13th century :D and they were enablers for Germans to attack Rus' several times. Moreover, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was not annexed by Russia, but partitioned by Germany and Austria, too. From that sais it seems Lithuanians was, are and probably will be with sticking into German or any other ass against Russia. That's a bit laughable taking into account Baltic countries are area where almost nobody lives and their fence would be dismantled in a minutes by a group of gypsies.

    The Soviets ethnically cleansed the old East Prussia in 1945-47, and imported largely Russian settlers. It's a shame the old city of Konigsberg (home of the philosopher Immanuel Kant) was destroyed, but the worst aspects of the past can't simply be undone. Lithuanians have to be cautious about Russian activities in the Kaliningrad exclave as they know from bitter experience what Russian (and Soviet) imperialism looks like, they were often its victims.

    Actually it became part of german lands only in 13 century, when germans occupied this area. Prussians, or old prussians how it is called today to avoid the confusion with low and high prussia, were baltic people who spoke a baltic language, called prussian. A name Prussia is actually of baltic origin. They stopped speaking prussian in 17th century due to years of germanization. Up until 2nd World War they lived there and spoke german with many additional baltic worlds. So your claims are rubbish.

    The main problem with the border is that in a lot of places it is very hard to get the locals to take it seriously. Try telling someone " no you can not go to the shop down the street it's in another country ". The border is not really for them it's for the idiot Russian authorities. A bunch of corrupt bastards. Russia seems to allow the shit to rise straight to the top. The average person is just that a "person" same as any where but living under a crap regime. Those in authority in Russia are suspicious of each other and every one else. They always look for a quick profit with no thought of the future even if it harms them. So you have a system where the border guards just want to do their job but their boss's boss's commander thinks there's money to be made through bribes so starts demanding everyone start paying him for the "privilege" of just doing there job. They say "where am I going to get this money?" and are told find a way. What are they to do? Nothing but start taking money from gangsters and smugglers so they can pay off their boss's. For all the best will by these Russia border guards they never have a chance of being honest. It rots from the Russian head to the feet on the ground. Then it creeps over the border and start rotting back up the Lithuanian's till it gets to their head eventually.

    The decision to give East Prussia to Russia is likely right, gift by winning allies of ww2 was likely right: that way the militarily over-ambitious clans of East Prussia will no longer have a homeland close to Warsaw to wage invasion wars on Slavic lands. East Prussia was about 55 miles from Warsaw, making it easier for Germans living in East Prussia to mount raids on the Polish capital city 55 miles away. .. Russian kingdom also owned East Prussia for all of five years, to six years from a out 1775 to about 1780. Teutonic knights owned East Prussia for about a thousand (1000) years. Germany conquered East Prussia for another 1000 years. Russia owned East Prussia for the shortest time, from about 1776 to about 1791 or so. In about 1777, locals of East Prussia (likely ethnic Germans of East Prussia) had an audience with the czar in Saint Petersburg (capital city of Imperial Russia of the Romanov Dynasty) , and ethnic Germans convinced the the Russian Czar to vacate East Prussia in about 1777, as ".. we would like to inform your majesty that Imperial Russia had enough land." The Czar agreed with them, and in about that time in about 1776 he decided to give East Prussia from Russia to a local German kingdom of the area, and ordered that Imperial Imperial armies vacate East Prussia. In 1945, the situation was different:: Nazi Germany had just tried to conquer all of Russia in ww2 and conquer all of the Slavic lands east of Germany in ww2, while massacring Slavic peoples both Christians and Jews during ww2. So, Soviet Union convinced the winning allies to let Russia keep the smaller north sea-side section of East Prussia known as Kaliningrad today, while Poland gets more land from Germany, including the bulk of East Prussia nearer to Warsaw, and parts of East Prussia south of the Russian sea-side area of Kaliningrad. The military clans of East Prussia were disbanded after ww2, and given more docile last names. Why were Soviet troops cruel and East Prussia and very nice at the moment of entry into every town and village in aminland Germany? As per terms of Crimea accord, Russia was to keep the sea side areas of East Prussia (formerly of Nazi Germany) while Poland gets the larger area of the rest of East Prussia inland which were close to Warsaw.This way the allies reasoned there will never be a ww3.
