Privolnoye (Russian: Привольное, Lithuanian: Naniškas) is a rural settlement in Chernyakhovsky District of Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. It is located in the historic region of Lithuania Minor, approximately 13 kilometres (8 mi) north-east of Chernyakhovsk.[4]
History
[edit]The village was first recorded in 1578. The majority of Lithuanian inhabitants died to the Great Northern War plague outbreak in 1709.[4] From 1711, Calvinist immigrants from Switzerland, Nassau and the Palatinate settled in the village.[4][5] A new school and Reformed church were built in 1748 and 1808, respectively.[5] The local Reformed congregation was gifted silverware by the Polish Reformed Congregation of Königsberg (Polish: Królewiec) as it dissolved in 1843.[5] As of 1878, the village had a population of 370, Calvinist by confession, employed in agriculture and cattle and horse breeding.[4] In 1938, the Nazi government of Germany renamed the village to Neunassau in attempt to erase traces of Lithuanian origin.
Demographics
[edit]According to the 2021 census, the village had a population of 542, 80.1% Russian, 12.4% Armenian, 1.7% Lithuanian, 1.1% Ukrainian and 1.1% Chechen.[1]
