| #6 The Russians occupied East Prussia because it was the source of endless invasions which they repulsed again and again at great cost. It's like how we occupied Germany so it wouldn't start another war. Both strategies worked. |

| #4 ...they already got Silesia from the Germans as their part of 'winnings' of WWII (actually compensation for Stalin getting to keep the part he took in 1939 with the Germans). Did the same thing as the Russians installing their language and culture upon those who remained. |

| #1 Kaliningrad formerly the state of East Prussia and German for hundreds of years. Taken by Russia at the end of WW2, at which time they ethnically cleansed the place imposing their alphabet, language, and social order upon the inhabitants. When the Ukrainians do this in their territory, its call radical nationalism by Moscow and its trolls. |
