Críticas:

Krickus provides a comprehensive and objective study of the Kalinigrad question, including a well-written historic overview, analysis of the status of the region under Soviet and Russian rule, a look at Kaliningrad as a source of tensions between Russia and Lithuania and Russia and Poland, the role of Belarus, and discussion of the question of separatism. The book will be useful for everyone who wants to know about the complexities of the Kaliningrad question. Recommended for general collections, upper-division undergraduates and above. * CHOICE * Offers a broad picture of the area's peculiar issues. * The Chronicle of Higher Education * Well researched and lucidly argued. This book is an important addition to the library about current events in Russia, especially in light of the very limited literature on the Kaliningrad issue. -- Ilya Prizel, University of Pittsburgh

Reseña del editor:

The only comprehensive English-language study of Kaliningrad, this invaluable book explores the history and uncertain fate of the former East Prussia. Once touted as a future Hong Kong, Russia's western-most oblast has become a black hole of social and economic decay. Often overlooked in the West, this exclave is a potential flashpoint in an already unstable region. Richard Krickus, a leading expert on Kaliningrad, fills a crucial gap by tracing its long history of unstable possession, critiquing Russian and Western policy, and mapping out possible futures for the oblast.
