Kaliningrad Oblast in The Hot War[]
In August, 1952, Konstantin Morozov and his company passed through Kaliningrad Oblast on their way to put down the rebellion in Lithuania. Morozov and his tank crew preferred the idea of staying in Kaliningrad Oblast, which was comfortably under Soviet control, to going on to Lithuania.[1]
