Kaliningrad—known as Královec in Czech—sits 412 miles west of the rest of Russia, sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania. The city, originally founded in the 13th century by Teutonic knights and also known as Königsberg, or King’s Rock, became over time the capital of Prussia, and later belonged to Poland, Germany, the Soviet Union, and now Russia.
