So stupid, they can call it whatever they want but it won’t change the reality that Russia controls it, mostly Russians live there.
Nationalists / Nazis are taking over. Poland has a huge Nazi problem. (CW queerphobia, misogyny, Nazis, violence)
Just call is Königsberg or something which is a better name than literally every single word in the polish language.

When I was there last week, it was during the Majòwka holiday combo (Labor Day-Flag Day-Constitution of the 3rd of May 1791 Day) and State media was flirting with the idea of resurrecting the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth lol.
Not in a “We’re gonna annex Vilnius” way, but more in a “Please Lithuania, it’s gonna be really cool”, but still history has an extreme value in Polish propaganda. They couldn’t shut up about it.
Interestingly, it wasn’t really anti-communist, even in what criticised AES Poland. Instead, when talking about that era it was going “Russia was holding us back” and similar.
Makes sense considering the main voter base of PiS is boomers who got screwed over by the counterrevolution, who even if they don’t miss socialism, probably think fondly of the economic stability they had back then.
I’ve decided to rename New York City to Cyber Lenin City. This change is effective immediately.
