Abstract
Germany is one of the principal partners of the Russian Federation. The Kaliningrad region plays a significant role in the development of partnership between the two countries, but the existing opportunities for development are not fully exploited. This article analyses the development, current state and prospects of an increasing role of the region in Russian-German cooperation. The authors emphasize the role of the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University as one of the leaders in the development of research and cultural links with German universities and research foundations. This publication is based on the authors' presentation at the round table discussion on the cooperation between Russian and German partner regions held on September 23, 2011 in the framework of the 8th International Conference on Transborder Cooperation: the Russian Federation, the European Union, and Norway (September 22—23, 2011, Kaliningrad). The article considers topical issues of Russian-German economic and cultural relations in the Kaliningrad region, which facilitate the development of Russian strategy for the integration of northwestern constituent entities into the economic and cultural space of the Baltic region.

Summary
The development of connections between the Kaliningrad region and the German party started only two decades ago, at the very beginning of the 1990s. The connections of the region, which was closed for foreign citizens, with German partners were very insignificant. The prerequisites for extending the cooperation between the Kaliningrad region and German (as well as other international) partners arose in the last years of the existence of the USSR, in 1990—1991. Some significant events related to the development of Russian-German cooperation in the Kaliningrad region are shown in table 1. The development of Russian-German cooperation in the Kaliningrad region (1992—2004). Kaliningrad and the region's towns enjoy cooperation agreements with the German Lands of Brandenburg and Schleswig-Holstein, as well as a number of cities and districts of Germany (table 2). Partnership between the city, towns and districts of the Kaliningrad region and German cities, towns and districts
