The Baltic Republican Party (BRP;

Baltic Republic instead of the Kaliningrad region, possibly total independence. It also wanted the old name Königsberg restored.[3]
Its leaders are Sergei Pasko and Rustam Vasiliev.

History

In February 2005 the constituent congress of the Kaliningrad Public Movement – Respublika took place in Kaliningrad. It has the same objectives as the BRP, its co-chairmen are Sergei Pasko and Vitautas Lopata, an

independent deputy of the regional Duma and local chairperson of the opposition Russian People's Democratic Union.[4]

In 2023, party leader Rustam Vasiliev decried the increased isolation of the region following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.[5] In the same interview, he declared that an increasing number of the region's residents were supportive of the party, and that a break from Moscow was ultimately inevitable.[6] The party claims that Moscow is a barrier to the region's economic development and that the region "belongs to Europe".[7] The Baltic Republican Party leader Rustam Vasiliev has told Express.co.uk that the region's break from Moscow was only a "matter of time," ditching Russia's name for the territory for the historic German one - Königsberg.[8][unreliable source?]
