The Polish delegation carried out a provocation in the Kaliningrad region at the site of a historical landmark – a cross at the site of the death of the Catholic preacher Wojciech Adalbert in the year 997.
Tourists who visited this place the day before saw a basket of flowers from the Consulate General of Poland. On the crown, Kaliningrad was listed as “Krulevets”.
“The tourists and I saw this inscription. We were surprised that Kaliningrad was called Krulevets,” the guide quotes. Dmitri Zhurilin Kaliningrad portal “Klops”. — Try placing a ribbon in Gdansk with the old German name of the city of Danzig. What will be the reaction? I think this is some kind of provocation. A sign that our land does not belong to Russia. That’s how I perceived it. It turns out that we show respect for their saint, because Adalbert is not canonized in Orthodoxy and they use him as such a sign.”
EADaily remember that Warsaw officially approved an insignificant toponym in its country: Krulewiec. Former president of Russia Dmitry MedvedevCommenting on such management, he jokingly stated:
“Then there will be no Poland, only the Duchy of Warsaw or the Kingdom of Poland within the Russian Federation.”
