April 9 will be commemorated as the Day of the Heroic Attack and Capture of Königsberg. The State Duma passed such a bill in the 2nd and 3rd readings. The explanation says that in modern Russia, Kaliningrad is not only an outpost in the west of the country, but also an important economic center. The authors of this initiative emphasize that it will help strengthen national unity and overcome the historical isolation of the Kaliningrad region from the main territory of Russia.
