Considerations about joining Kaliningrad to the Czech Republic have awakened the imagination of Polish pranksters

Prague/Warsaw – Recessionary considerations and petitions for the announcement of a vote on the annexation of the Russian Kaliningrad region to the Czech Republic have awakened the imagination of Polish pranksters. Twitter was flooded with various comments and memes developing this situation.

The idea that the Czechia should lay claim to the Kaliningrad region is related to the fact that Královec, or Kaliningrad in Russian, was founded by crusaders in honor of the Czech king Přemysl II. During the procedure for the possible occupation of this territory, the Czech recessionists were “inspired” by Russia. It recently hastily held internationally unrecognized votes in those parts of Ukraine it controls or occupies, and when a large majority of people in pseudo-referendums, according to Russian authorities, voted to join Russia, Moscow annexed them.

In one meme posted by a Polish Twitter user, Russian President Vladimir https://twitter.com/KleszczRex/status/1576802836519989248/photo/1 with the phone to his ear, he first wants to know “What is the situation in Kaliningrad?”, after which with a tense expression he says in disbelief “How is the ‘hello’?”.

The Poles are also “looking forward” to the Czech military presence near the Baltic Sea. “Czech submarine Helena Vondráčková is returning to the base in Kaliningrad,” announces one https://twitter.com/gen_brygady/status/1577377977507135514/photo/1 On the contrary, it sails from the port https://twitter.com/tomaszkomentasz/status/1577300066284494849 Karel Gott. https://twitter.com/tomaszkomentasz/status/1577339642101334026/photo/1 again captured how “the Czech Navy test-fired a Maková panenka ballistic missile from the nuclear submarine Loupežník Rumcajs near Kaliningrad occupied by the Czech Republic”. Another photo”https://twitter.com/Jack84863715/status/1577390745333469194” the Czech submarine Jožin from the swamps, blocking access to the Czech port in Královéc (formerly Kaliningrad).

“I don’t know if everyone is aware that Czech Kaliningrad opens up the issue of the corridor. It means mountain huts in the Svatokrizké Mountains (in central Poland – ČTK note), Prime Minister brewed in Warsaw breweries, and fundamental progress in reproductive rights on a long strip of territory of the Polish Republic,” someone lists the advantages of a possible land connection between Královce and the rest of the Czech territory.

In a comment on the map of the fictitious Králové region, someone wrote that “a lot of people would like to go to the sea with the Czechs. And the Czech ‘hello’ takes on a completely new meaning in this perspective”.
