칼리닌그라드는 2차대전 승전의 결과로 독일로부터 획득하게 된 영토로서, 현재는 러시아의 역외 고립지이다. 이러한 특수한 역사적 배경으로 인해 칼리닌그라드에는 다양한 문화적 정체성들이 공존하고 있다. 이글은 <칼리닌그라드 주 역사-예술 박물관>과 그 지부 박물관인 <벙커> 박물관의 설립 배경과 전시 공간 분석을 통해 칼리닌그라드의 중첩된 정체성을 살펴본 글이다. 역사박물관의 전투 장면을 생생하게 담은 디오라마와 소련시기의 발전상을 보여주는 전시실은 소련 정체성을 드러내고 있다. 그리고 소련의 영토로 편입되기 이전 시기의 역사와 문화를 표현한 전시실은 독일적 정체성을 나타내고 있다. 또한 정교회와 전통 생활문화에 관련된 전시는 포스트소비에트 러시아의 정체성을 나타낸다. 아울러 <벙커> 박물관의 전시에서는 독-소전쟁의 승리가 강조되고 있다. 이를 통해, 러시아가 이 영토를 독일에 반환할 의사가 없으며, 그렇기 때문에 가장 러시아적인 도시로 정체성을 만들어 가기를 원하는 지향점을 전시구성을 통해 주장하고 있는 듯하다. 이처럼 박물관의 전시 구성을 통해 칼리닌그라드의 여러 정체성들이 얽혀 있는 중첩성을 파악할 수 있다.
Kaliningrad, Russia’s closest geographic region to Europe, is paradoxically the very city with full of Soviet identity. Today, about 30 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, many major cities in Russia have changed the names of cities to their original ones of the pre-revolutionary Russian era. Kaliningrad, however, is an exception to this trend. Unlike the rest of the region, there is no trace of the Russian Empire in this city. If the history of the Soviet Union is taken away nothing is left for Russia, for the former history is that of East Prussia(i.e. Germany). Since Russia has no intention of giving this territory back to Germany this city becomes a region where the characteristics of the Soviet obviously remain. The names of the streets, and apartment buildings built during the Soviet period show a strong Soviet identity. However, many buildings including the Fisherman's Village and the Jewish Synagogue, which have been restored to their original forms by the German capital, reveal that the city was also the German territory. Meanwhile, the Russian Orthodox Temple, located in the central square of the city, represents a unique Russian identity. These overlapping identities are revealed in the exhibition of the Kaliningrad Regional Museum of History and Art. On the one hand there are things represent Soviet identity such as diorama, which vividly captures the battle of Königsberg in 1945, a very elaborate natural history exhibition with a focus on establishing ownership of the newly acquired region, archaeological excavations and amber work, and an exhibition room that collectively illustrates the developments of the Soviet period. But on the other hand the historical exhibition of the City of Königsberg during the East Prussian period represents German identity. In addition, exhibitions related to the Orthodox Church including various types of icon paintings represent the identity of post-Soviet Russia. Thus, Kaliningrad's museum exhibitions show the overlapping of the two different identities.
