  Baltiysk - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Baltiysk (Russian: Балти́йск), prior to 1945 known by its German name Pillau (Polish: Piława; Lithuanian: Piliava), is today a Russian sea port [1] in the strait between Vistula Bay and Gdańsk Bay, called Strait of Baltiysk, in the Kaliningrad Oblast enclave.
Baltiysk is, along with Kaliningrad, one of two year-round, ice-free ports along the Baltic Sea coastline available to Russia.
Until recently, Baltiysk was a closed town, meaning that access was forbidden to foreigners or those without a pass.
