Kaliningrad Oblast - Biocrawler(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-30)
KaliningradOblast (Russian: Калининградская область), informally called Yantarny kray (Russian:Янтарный Край - meaning Amber land) is an administrative division (oblast) of Russia on the Baltic coast, with no land connection to the rest of Russia: an enclave of the EU.
It is the westernmost parcel of land belonging to Russia, separated from the rest of Russia by the Baltic States.
Its largest city is Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), which has historical significance as both a major city of Prussia and the capital of the former German province East Prussia, of which the region remains the core remnant.

In that same year, Chernyakhovskii was appointed as deputy commander of the 28th Tank Division, a formation which he took control of with the rank of colonel in the summer of 1941.
As part of the 12th Mechanised Corps, the 28th Tank Division was stationed in the Baltic Military District at the beginning of Operation Barbarossa.
By this time he had been awarded a second Hero of the Soviet Union decoration, and as a living memorial, the East Prussian town of Insterburg (now in KaliningradOblast, part of the Russian Federation) was cleared of its residents and renamed Chernyakhovsk in his honour.
Electrosvyaz of KaliningradOblast, a branch of OJSC North-West Telecom, has completed the upgrading of the two last decade-step exchanges in KaliningradOblast, having spent 170,000,000 roubles for that purpose.
