The Baltic Republican Party took part at Free Nations of post-Russia in Tokyo, Japan. Alexey Kozhevnikov represented Baltic Republican Party.
Dear colleagues and listeners, my name is Alexey Kozhevnikov, allow me to present to you my views and ideas, proposals regarding Königsberg, as a regionalist and representative of the Baltic Republican Party. Together, we can create a completely new future for Königsberg. Our region, the Baltic Republic, is rapidly moving forward after decades of communist oppression. Königsberg is Europe! We take pride in our multicultural and multilingual team, united by our commitment to democracy and prosperity. Let's begin!
Let's consider the reasons why I strive for the independence of the Amber Territory. Firstly, it's the historical heritage. The city has a rich and unique history. Formerly known as Königsberg, it was the heart of East Prussia and had its own culture, traditions, and education. However, after World War II, the region was handed over to the Soviet Union and became part of Russia.
The second reason is the cultural heritage. The city inherited much from its German legacy, making it unique and distinct from other Russian regions. I believe preserving this cultural identity is important for our residents.
The third reason is economic development. Königsberg has a strategic geographical position, bordering Europe, which provides unique opportunities for economic growth and cooperation with other countries.
Our future is linked to friendship and integration with Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, and other civilized democratic countries. Our geographical proximity and cultural heritage allow us to interact easily with these nations.
Cooperation with the United States is also a key aspect of our development plan. Thanks to our strategic position on the Baltic Sea and levers of cooperation with Europe, we can provide the U.S. with additional opportunities for economic interaction and trade.
One fascinating fact about Königsberg that not many people know about is its connection to Japan. In the past, we had a Japanese consulate, and I want to tell you about the remarkable diplomat Chiune Sugihara. He was the Japanese consul in Königsberg during World War II.

Sugihara's story is one of heroism and saving lives. In 1940, when the Nazis were expelling Jews from Lithuania, Chiune Sugihara made a decision that saved several thousand Jewish lives. He began issuing Japanese visas despite orders from his government, allowing many Jews to leave the country and escape death.
This example of kindness and courage must be etched in our memory. We must remember such stories so that we never forget that kindness and compassion can overcome hatred and destruction.
The memory of Chiune Sugihara should serve as a reminder of the importance of fighting for freedom and the right of every person to live in safety and dignity. It also allows us to appreciate the significance of friendship and cooperation between nations as a key factor in achieving peace and prosperity.

In conclusion, I want to emphasize that we must work together with the civilized global community to build a bright and successful future for Königsberg, where every individual can realize their potential and live in peace and prosperity. We need your support, especially for the many exiled political prisoners from the Baltic Republican Party who are already in prison or under investigation, and people who are on the run in other countries, unable to obtain refugee status. We ask for attention to this matter and assistance in providing political asylum for such individuals. Thank you for your attention and willingness to cooperate in creating a new European state!
