This little territory has lost like half a million people due to them invading Ukraine. Somehow.
And according to the Kremlin, it was a 3 day operation. Very efficient.
That’s where you put the army men before you do the war?
Can you cite that? According to the official statistics the population of the whole region is around 1 032 000 people now and has been around 1 029 000 in 2021, the stats are mirrored in wiki, russian only:
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5_%D0%9A%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B9_%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8
The official source is rosstat.gov.ru but my browser says that there is a potential security risk.
I know you've already received a woosh but the explanation is this: the post makes the joke that Kaliningrad is all that Russia is and in that context, Kaliningrad having managed to lose half a million citizens in a war with their neighbour that they don't even border is comical.
Of course, that is not the reality. Kaliningrad is a small exclave of Russia.
I understand the meme and honestly thought you were serious in your comment to the point where I was hoping it to be true and went to look if that was the case.
Also what's wooshing?
Wouldn't that be something. With a population of 1mil, losing half of it would be quite devastating. The "woosh" is a relic of a meme. The woosh is the sound the joke makes when it flies over your head and misses you.
