Appropriating Place and Constructing Identity

En savoir plus sur le livre

The transformation of Königsberg into Kaliningrad serves as a focal point for examining Soviet efforts to create a model of modernity after 1945. The book details the expulsion of German residents, the influx of settlers, and the demolition of German architecture, all aimed at showcasing communist ideals. However, many Soviet projects remained unfinished, leading residents to develop a unique identity influenced by their Baltic neighbors. The narrative concludes with a look at contemporary Kaliningrad, where citizens are reconnecting with their pre-Soviet heritage and redefining their identity.
