Located on the Baltic Sea, sandwiched between the nations of Lithuania and Poland, is the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad.

Kaliningrad, as it is today, does not have a deep history. For most of its history, it was known as Königsberg.

The reason it exists at all dates back to the Teutonic Knights in the Middle Ages and the aftermath of two world wars in the 20th century. 

Today, its status is unique to say the least, and it has the potential to become a geopolitical flashpoint.

Learn more about Kaliningrad and its history on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
