This must be the true reason the whole city got razed.

Allegedly, the Russians wanted to negotiate about Kaliningrad in 1990 but Germany was more horrified than interested. Straightforward decision at the time. No one wanted a reprieve of the whole Polish Corridor thing, especially without even Germans living there. Rather a mistake in hindsight.

I think there was a plan to settle volga germans there and re-recreate the volga german republic, of course only after the OG volga german republic thing failed.

especially without even Germans living there

Germans were brutally deported after WW2
