Doing research for Twilight 2000
While I was doing research for bring TW2000 into 2016 , I found a very interesting item . Has anyone heard of KALININGRAD OBLAST . Well Kaliningrad Oblast is an Russian state that sits on the Baltic Sea between Poland and Lithuania .It is home to the Russian Baltic fleet , because of the warm water port there. The nearest Russian territory is a few hundred miles away .
Durning my research I have learned that Kaliningrad has requested from the Russian government to become an independent country but the Russian government has rejected this several times. The youths of Kaliningrad see themselves more as Europeans than Russians, this has led to several protest for independence.
Now for the fictional part , let us say if their was an Kaliningrad sovereignty party that was being brutality attack by the Russian government and this party formed an armed resistance group . This group was being chased by units of the Baltic Sea Naval Infantry and crossed over to either Poland or Lithuania, the Naval Infantry units followed them into Poland or Lithuania and attacked . Durning the fighting several Polish or Lithuania border guards were killed along with some civilians. I believe that this maybe a flash point for TW 2000 in 2016 .
