Poland's Renaming of Kaliningrad Sparks Hostility from Kremlin

TL;DR Summary
Poland has decided to use its historical name for Kaliningrad, the Russian city and administrative region that sits on its border, calling it Krolewiec. The Kremlin has reacted angrily, calling it a "process bordering on insanity." The centuries-old name of Krolewiec was part of Poland's cultural heritage, and the current name was artificial, lacking any connection to the city or the region. The war in neighboring Ukraine has added to the long-standing tensions between Russia and Poland.
