Why was the name of Kaliningrad not changed back to Königsberg after the fall of the Soviet Union?
During the Soviet era, Saint Petersburg and Tver were renamed Leningrad and Kalinin, respectively; and during the early 1990s, their original names were reinstated. Why wasn't it the same with Kaliningrad?
My guess would be that it is not an original Russian territory... Konigsberg is German so now that the majority of East Prussian Germans have left the area, it would make little sense to return the name to a name that used to fit the ethnicity which has vacated.
In addition, Soviet-era names are not entirely looked down upon. In Volgograd, for example, there is a growing movement to return the name to Stalingrad, not only out of affinity for Stalin himself but the historical implications of the name; particularly during World War II and Operation Barbarossa.
