Kaliningrad Oblast ( Russian: Калининградская область), informally called Yantarny kray (Russian:Янтарный Край - meaning Amber land) is an administrative division ( oblast) of Russia on the Baltic coast, with no land connection to the rest of Russia: an exclave. It is the westernmost parcel of land belonging to Russia. Its largest city is Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg), which has considerable historical significance as the capital city of Prussia, of which the region remains the core remnant. Since 1991 about 12,000 ethnic Germans have attempted to settle in the Kaliningrad oblast, but have mostly re-emigrated to Germany after just a few months. As of 2003, just 0.2% of the oblast's population are ethnic Germans. On 1 May 2004 a "paper curtain" descended around Kaliningrad Oblast as its neighbours on all side joined the European Union resulting in increased restrictions in crossing the border. Kaliningraders, like all citizens of Russia, now need visas to enter the neighbouring countries of Poland and Lithuania. If they wish to travel to the rest of Russia over land without a visa, they need to apply for permission from the Lithuanian embassy at least a day in advance before being allowed to board a sealed train to Russia.
