"In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics, he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so."

Old Cathedral of Kaliningrad, Russia

Originally names Konisberg the city was destroyed on a large scale during World War II, the ruins were then occupoed by the Red Army and by 1945 the German population was forced out and it was renamed Kaliningrad in honour of Mikhail Kalinin. The ruins compared to the very new city built around it from the late 40's on has created a fascinating city with some great architecture. The pre war parts of the city mostly consist of parks, broad avenues and two buildings, the House of Soviets and the restored Konisberg Cathedral.
