Among the many gerrymandered borders, enclaves, geographic anomalies, and contested territories to be found in the formerly Communist areas of Europe, the Kaliningrad region of the Russian Federation may well be the most geographically, juridically, and demographically unusual. Although the status of the region as part of Russian territory seemed settled during the Cold War, the demise of the Soviet Union has reopened the debate over the region's ultimate disposition. Apart from conventional arguments for incorporating the region as part of the Russian Federation, the Republic of Lithuania, or the Federal Republic of Germany, a variety of novel approaches to resolving the matter have been suggested. In the end, however, the result will probably depend upon the degree to which Russia, Germany, and Lithuania gravitate toward civic or ethnic models of nationhood as part of their ongoing reconstitution as fully sovereign states
