Kaliningrad and Cultural Memory

In 1945, the Soviet Union annexed the East Prussian city of Königsberg, later renaming it Kaliningrad. Left in ruins by the war, the home of Immanuel Kant became a Russian city. This book looks at Kaliningrad's relationship to the memory of Königsberg through cultural, literary and visual representations.
