*The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Riigikogu (Parliament – Ed.) proposed to the Language Commission of the Native Language Society to consider the possibility of using the name Königsberg instead of Kaliningrad in the Estonian language.*
*According to the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, Marko Mihkelson, the committee concluded that the use of Kaliningrad from Soviet times in the Estonian language should be abandoned, and the historical name Königsberg should be used instead.*
*Members of the committee mentioned during the meeting that it would be appropriate to use the earlier names Jamburg or Jaama for the city of Kingisepp in Russia.*
*The issue of renaming will be further discussed in October. The purpose of the bill is to propose to the government to rename Kaliningrad back to Königsberg and to carry out all actions resulting from the name change.**
This is stupid, you cannot pretend to choose how regions or cities that ain’t yours should be called.

How many Russians does Estonia has?Do they need liberation?
Kraloviec je česká země!!!!111 <one>
Reward my Polish enthusiasm with beer pipeline, Czechs.
Better than Heineken
I mean, no one calls it the Kaliningrad’s bridges problem
Its like sitting at home one decides he will change the neighbors kids name
Fuck off cute & adorable Estonia, we don’t want it!
Gigabased Estonia.
This is just pathetic pandering
I have a question: how would it be pronounced then? Königsber is German after all, i dont think that they would suddenly speak German. So how would the correct estonian pronounciation of the name be?
So the propaganda Russia is pushing during the war in Ukraine is that they are being attacked by NATO and Estonia decides that it is a good idea to reinforce this narrative with a trolling attempt?
Do they know actual lives are at stake doing this stuff?
