Poland officially renamed Kaliningrad

    In official Polish documents, the Russian city of Kaliningrad will be called Krulewiec.

    .

    The decision, which is formally advisory in nature, was made by the Commission for the Standardization of Geographical Names outside of Poland, reports Rmf24.

    For the city with the Russian name Kaliningrad, it is recommended to use only the Polish name Krulevets, the commission said.

    In turn, the Kaliningrad region in Polish was renamed Krulevetskaya.

    The commission explained its decision by the fact that Krulevets is the traditional name of Kaliningrad in Poland, and its “current Russian name is artificial, not connected either with the city itself or with the region.”

    They also said that the Soviet statesman Mikhail Kalinin, after whom the city is named, is “a criminal responsible, among other things, for the massacres of Poles in Katyn,” and his references in Poland are “negative.”

    The impetus for the decision to rename Kaliningrad was the Russian invasion of Ukraine, after which Poland dealt with “the problem of imposed names, around which there are great disputes.” The resolution itself was adopted on April 12, 2023 and entered into force on May 9.

    Kaliningrad is a former Prussian city that was called Koenigsberg in German and Krulewiec in Polish. After the end of World War II, he moved to the USSR and was renamed in honor of the head of the Presidium of the Supreme Council, Mikhail Kalinin. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it remained part of Russia as an exclave.

    Recall that Sergei Mironov, a deputy of the Russian State Duma and leader of the Just Russia party, last year proposed changing the name of Kaliningrad to Vladibaltiysk, but this idea was not supported in the regional center itself.
