Yesterday afternoon, protesting farmers threw potatoes at the European Parliament in Brussels, and last night, local residents collected these potatoes in bags and took them home.

Good morning, dear subscribers!😊☕️

❄️Kaliningrad transforms noticeably for the New Year. The central squares, Kant Island, the areas around the cathedral, and the fishing village are adorned with lights, light arches, and Christmas trees. The lighting highlights the old brick architecture and creates a warm contrast to the winter sky. In the evening, the city appears particularly lively: the lights reflect in the water, and strolls become part of the celebration.

The folk festivals in Kaliningrad are dynamic and open. People gather in the city squares, music plays, and there are markets where one can warm up with hot drinks. There is a lot of movement: families with children, groups of friends, and random passersby easily become part of the communal celebration. The atmosphere is rather European – active, but without excessive hustle.

A special place during the New Year days is taken by Kant Island. Strolls along the Pregel, music, lights, and the view of the cathedral create the feeling that the city lives simultaneously in several times. Here, the New Year does not erase history, but rather makes it clearer.

The New Year celebration in Kaliningrad is a combination of vibrant city life and quiet historical depth. The celebration does not focus on one point but spreads throughout the city: in the streets, in the water, in the architecture, and in the people. And that is what makes the start of the year lively, clear, and truly unforgettable.
